COMPETE 2 WIN!!!!

It’s been a long road…but this time next week I’ll be carbing up on rice cakes and preparing to walk on stage!! Overall, I am very pleased with the physique I’m bringing to Jr. USA.  The goal that I made after my last show in November was to improve my physique and I think I’ve done that!! 

For this show my goal is Top 5!!! In order for that to happen I have to make 1st call outs in both rounds.  I can not afford to get lost on stage….or it’s a done deal!!  Presentation is everything, however I know politics is always lurking close by!!  I have 60 seconds to get the judges attention!!!  I know Top 5 is a huge goal for my 1st National show….however, I believe the tongue is very powerful….you have to speak what it is that you desire, you have to go out and claim it.  So, my rationale is if I speak it enough it may just happen!! This will be my 1st National Show, so I know Top 5 is asking alot!! If nothing else, I hope to get a great experience and meet some awesome people! 

I’m looking really poor in street clothes and I actually cover up w/ a jacket when going to work. It’s just easier sometimes than having to deal w/ all the questions that come along with it!! I luv my supervisor….”she calls me her little crack head.”  LOL!  For those of you all who don’t know, in the African American community when someone starts loosing weight really fast the 1st thing that comes to minds is that you’re smoking crack!!  Hahaha, I get a good laugh out of it b/c when I show them my  pictures they can’t believe I have some muscle!!

I met w/ my trainer on yesterday and my posing coach on Thursday.  Both of them are brutally honest.  I was pleasantly surprised when they both told me there wasn’t anything I needed to change and to keep doing what I was doing.  For this week, I’ll continue with the cardio through Tuesday, then I’ll be done!!! Yeahhhh!!!  My trainer has also advised me to leave for Charleston on Thursday instead of Friday.  I have to rearrange a few appointsments on Thursday but I’m going to try to get on the road by 5PM.   The more I think about leaving Thursday the better it sounds so I ‘m glad I made the decision to do so.

I also posted progress pics so go check those out.  I haven’t posted stats in a while so here they are as of this morning!!

118 pounds

Breast 31 1/2 (pitiful, thank God for breast pads!!)

Waist 25 (my goal is 23 1/2, hopefully w. water depleting I can get there)

Hips 32 1/2 (I look like I’m 9 years old, wait a minute…there azz’s are larger than mine right now!!!)

Quad 19 1/2 (pleased w/ this….this time last year my quad was a whopping 22 1/2 inches!!!)

Bicep 11

Calf 13

I’ll try to post one more round of pics before I leave on Thursday!!  Thanks to everyone for the support!!! You know I live on the computer so I’ll definitely be posting how I did after pre-j’n!!  Pray that I do well!!!
