Erin Stern is one of the favorites heading into tomorrow’s IFBB Houston Pro Figure event. She’ll be sharing a few of her Houston Happenings with ‘yall throughout the weekend.
Erin and her sister aka “Dewy” arrived in Houston last night and that’s where the happenings begin…
AUGUST 27, 2009 – DAY ONE
Dewy and I just got back from Whole Foods Market. I’m not sure why, but I love going to that store when I’m dieting. We spent over an hour in there, just looking at all of the different types of food. We’re going to grill up a bison steak and have some salad. Today was a lot of traveling, and while I’ve been doing the low-carb, I cut out sodium this morning. I guess between my sister and me, we have one fully functional brain 🙂The trip wasn’t too bad until we arrived in Houston, we set out per Mapquest directions and overshot the exit by 30 miles. I saw a sign for “Kroger,” thinking we could just grab a quick salad and some water there, but it was Kroger Center, a mall with no food. We ended up going to Walgreens and getting water. I got some strange looks in the parking lot as I gnawed on a still-frozen chicken breast from my cooler.
I’m so tired right now! I feel a little flat, but I know it’s because of the carb depletion. Tomorrow morning I’ll have some oatmeal and will get some energy back, and start to fill out my muscles! Otherwise, I feel ready! I’ve been practicing opening my back more and looking more comfortable on stage. I’m also not going to flex as hard for this show… so, we’ll see how it goes!!
Tomorrow night we have our check-in meeting and tomorrow morning I’ll start the tanning process: ProTan mixed with Dyoderm, then a few coats of Jan Tana over it.

Check back as Erin reports in. Despite being carb depleted and low on energy, you can see she’s one witty character.
