..as ready as I can be at this point. The great thing about body building or figure sculpting is that it is a work in progress.  I sure look different today than I looked last November.  I think I’m bigger and stronger.  I was worried about competing next weekend - not feeling ready after set back due to travel and late nights at the New Orleans jazz festival!     But after about 9 days of strict diet and tons of gym time, I think I’ve made up for it. 

This morning I went for a fitting of the "revised" posing suits.  Joan (www.sewingdaydreams.com) re-cut my one piece so that it fits much better and blinged it up for me.  She also perfected the fit of the pink 2-piece and blinged it up just a little more.  The fitting helped my confidence.  I think I’m ready!

I did 55 minutes of cardio this morning. 35 on the stairmill. Ughhh!  Then I worked on the shoulders.  Still trying to figure out how to get those massive shoulder caps that all the pro figure ladies seem to have.  I worked the sides, the front, the rear delts.  My traps are growing too - but I don’t really want them to grow too much.  Need to be strategic deciding which areas to enhance and which to slim down.  Fun stuff ! 

And now, it’s time eat !  Way to build up an appetite!  I may need a nap too! 

Any ideas for shoulder caps are welcome.  Thanks!
