to compete or not to compete part 2

Well, here we are again.  About 1 1/2 ago I set my need to decide date for Tues, Feb 28th.  Since then I have been up and down and up and down again.  Friday, I took my body fat percentage.  My results were 21% body fat, which places me at the very lowest in the normal range.  At the time, I was quite pleased!  When I competed before, my body fat was somewhere around 13-14%.  Not sure whether it is necessary to be that low again...  Well, after doing some research this weekend on new clean eating recipes, I stumbled across some information on competing on www.oxygenmag.com.  What I read started me in another round of can I do it?!  According to oxygen, a person at 19% body fat might be better fit to train for bikinni whether than figure.  boooooooo!!!!  Not what I wanted to hear at all!!!

After much mental debate, talks with my husband,  and cookies calling my name, I have decided to stick with my original cut off date of the 28th.  That means that I have a week and 2 days to kick some serious butt and see what can be accomplished.
