I swear this is true
Last night I did new goals. I chose my 40th birthday. Stuff like calf size, thigh size and put in my ‘current ‘measurements. Well, this morning I decided to check my calf size while in the bathroom because thats where my tape measure is and I suddenly have new growth! They are two different sizes, which pisses me off to no end, but the left is now 14 inches and the right 13.5. Is that possible? I measured a few weeks ago and it seems I have 1/2 an inch somehow. I mean, I had laid off calves last season due to my ankle problem and was afraid to try again, so they obviously were lacking in comaparison to the rest of my body, but dang, 1/2 inch? Oh, I am sooooooo motivated now. I have been doing them 3 times a week or more and even when I am stamping mail at the machine at work, I am going on my toes to flex them. I have been wearing high heeled boots every chance I get, etc.
I stayed home from the gym last night due to this snow/ice storm. I was so freakin bored and sort of sit there like a caged leopard waiting to pounce on something. I was going to film some supersetting stuff because its a great way to maximize your time at the gym. Most of us don’t have much free time, so if you only have an hour, it’s precious. Plus Friday night the gym is almost empty and I don’t feel like an egotistical idiot filming myself. Most of the time I am looking at my video thinking, "how can I weigh 128 lbs and still look like such a skinny turd?" I think I look bigger in person and it doesnt come across that way in video.
I leave for the Arnold on Thursday! Major anxiety about that ! The Olympia last year was my 1st solo journey and before that I had never stepped on a plane until I was 37 and went to Florida with an old boyfriend. Its not the plane ride I worry about though, it’s the whole whirlwind experience this trip is going to bring. I think I have 2 shoots to do so far, 1 with CSI photo and another with Herbiceps.com. I order suits which have yet to arrive so I have nothing to wear if they don’t come in. I have to have my stupid nails done, find a way to get tan, whether it be spray or in a tube, waiting on my outfits from Gaspari, do something with my winter hair, etc. I am such a low maintainence woman normally, so this is hard for me. I never did master the art of fake lashes, remember when I tried last November? all I ended up doing was gluing my eyeball shut. I need girl help!! I’m totally fine being a tomboy I suppose, but we all want to look pretty once in awhile.
Okay, time to get cracking. I have to do chest and tris today. I have to throw in some calves, lats and abs as well to make up for last night. I actually get guilt if I lose time. I feel lazy and useless.
Hope everyone is warm!

You will do great! Low maint is the way to live! I am willing to bet if you called the local salons… you could find some woman/man that would GLADLY come do that stuff for you for free just to get to be a part of things! I am envious I wish I was going and fully intend on being up there next year. I am gonna hot a few smaller shows in south GA/North FL this year and can hopefully get some ideas of where I hope to be. It’s so hard to judge without seeing people in person. You will do fine and will have a great time. If you ever need to get away from the snow you have a friend in South Ga!

Dam! I can put your lashes on for you girl. Just takes practice and I have found just putting on corners is easier… maybe I’ll send you some corners? you only need a little glue… I’ll do it for u when I see u next! =0) I am so excited for you at the Arnold. I have a GREAT feeling all kind of wonderful doors are going to open for you. I have to email you about a new beau. =0) xo

Do you know any drag queens–now there is a population that knows something about make-up application. A friend of mine told me to spray hairspray on a toothbrush and brush my brows up and use the tip of the brush to shape the top and it looks like they’ve been shaped. It’s great between waxing–been doing it for years.

I wish I could do the eyelashes too. I’ve tried and they just fall right back off. Salons will do them. Too pricey for me though and it doesn’t last very long.
Have a fun time at the Arnold.

You can do eyelash extensions, too (Phil Heath’s wife does them at her salon) and those only come off when your natural lash sheds. Pricey to begin with, though. Practice, practice, practice on those fake ones, though!
