Just a bunch of random thoughts and feelings today.
The transformation: I feel I am doing well. Some of my friends/competitors are dropping more weight than I but I am happy with my results. They are consistent and moving me towards the finish product. That’s what matters. I cant wait to be healthy and strong again.
I have no boobs now. They have shrunk and gone away. I really didn’t mind them. I would rather have the fat from the stomach, hips and thighs decide to take leave. Hopefully when the lower part of my body shapes up, I will at least have something left on top. LOL I think my shoulders are starting to take shape too. They are starting to get more definition to them. And the pelican beak is shrinking. Very Very happy about that.
A few days ago I took a Valentine pic just so I could see the changes a little better. Its posted on my bodyspace. I realize I need to hammer the lower body a little more. I will be changing my workout routine next week to really hit that are hard. I want the jiggle gone from the thighs. I want the hour glass look back. That’s right I want my curves. I want the butt tighter and firmer. Sexy strong legs are what I am after. I will get what I want. Just give me some time.
My self confidence and body image is soaring. There are a few of my friends out there that have stuck with me through the low moment and really helped me to see the inner beauty that is starting to be apparent on the outside. I know some of you probably find it hard to believe that I –Miss Positive- has low depressed moments but I do.
I have realized over the last few days that I have been forgetting to eat. I rarely get hungry. I am assuming this is a result of the cytolean. I started watching the clock a little more to make sure I am getting in all my meals. I don’t want my metabolism dropping back down. My energy level is off the charts.
I feel bad for SCT. He has worked so hard at this competition and to be shut down by a piece of cardio equipment. That just sucks. I am very excited for Alan though. He is a great inspiritation too. I know he will jump right in there and make us earn our transformations. He will be some tough competition.
You, my friends, have been fabulous. I really do appreciate each of you that stop by with words of encouragement. The inner c.w is soaking them up and using them to keep going strong. I am so thankful to have you. You are a very important reason why I am so successful.
I finally got to see the Rock in The Game Plan. Mmmmmmmm is all I can say. There were scenes that I couldn’t help by lick my lips. I mean appreciate the hard work and dedication to build such a strong healthy body. Sure this was a great family movie. I know my kids enjoyed it but what was really great about this movie was how the fitness life style was portrayed. I cracked up every time I realized that there were things that I was doing the same way and some of the lines had me rolling in the floor. “ Liquid Chicken” is what he called the eggs, he threw in his shakes. By the way it seemed like he was always making a shake. Felt familiar. “Carb up Tueday” and “There will be no simple sugars consumed in this house.” There were a lot of really great scenes and one liners. Overall it was a nice feel good movie.
If you dont know it, I have a thing for Disney. I am a closet fan. I don’t think there is a Disney movie I haven’t seen. Shhh..I used to insist that my kids go with me to the theater to catch them when they first came out. You know I had to use them as the excuse. I couldnt go with out a kid. When McDonalds did the 100 year celebration and put out all those figurines. I collect them and made them into Christmas tree ornaments. That’s right I went to the drive through just to order the toy…no food. Just the toy. Ok at that time I occasionally order a cheeseburger or a happy meal but not often.
Well that’s enough thought and inner secrets for the day. Don’t want you thinking I am to much of a freak. Stay strong. Eat Clean. Relax its almost the weekend.

That movie sounds hilarious! I’ll definitely have to catch it. As always, great job with your amazing progress. Your transformation is so clearly visible, so remember that the true rate of healthy change cannot be measured by numbers on a scale, but by what’s reflected in the mirror… now if I could only get Vin Diesel to stand on the opposite side of mine…
We all have low moments some days, and we can tell who our real friends are by whether they are there during times such as those. It’s easy to be one’s friends when everything is hunky dory. Here’s to the good moments of life

Now I want to go and see this movie! Is it documentary style? A comedy? Anyone talking about training and diet in a movie will be right up my alley. Maybe I will take the kids this weekend!
You are doing GREAT in the contest Steph! I am so non competitive, I am really just wanting us all to run across the finish line holding hands.
Keep it up and stay positive! Have a great day!

FLF- Vin Diesel is another hottie I dont mind drooling over. How can you not appreciate that work of art. Seriously I appreciate the encouragement. You always know how to aim straight to the heart with your comments.
Maddi- The movie is a family comedy. This one I rented from the red box of free movie monday. Absolutely loved it. great if you like feel good family movies. I have a little competitiveness in me but I want us all to succeed too.

That’s the first place the ‘fat’ disappears on me, too… now my boobies are all concave.
Oh well - it just makes me aerodynamic!
Steph, I definitely agree with Maddi - you are totally rocking it in this transformation and your confidence and self-esteem is definitely soaring to greater heights. It makes me incredibly happy for you that you are finally seeing the diva goddess within you!!
