Hey Guys and Girls! Guess what? I finally had a cheat day or as my friend from London would say a "proper" cheat day. You know, that’s one accent I don’t find appealing. The UK accent is a whimpy accent to my ears. I had a woman from London cuss me out a few years ago and when she finished I burst out laughing. I swear I couldn’t take her seriously. That accent and the use of the words "Bloody" and "Bullocks" just cracked me up!

Anywho………………..

So yesterday I had to leave fayetteville to drive downtown in Atlanta to get my hair done for Dragon Con this weekend. Now I normally don’t drive into the city anymore thanks to high gas prices but when it comes to my hair I make an exception. So since I would be out for most of the day I decided to eat out. Look at what I ate yesterday

• 8:00AM - Several Slices of Watermelon
• 9:30AM - A HUGE fruit smoothie (bananas, strawberries, mangos, papaya, cherries, raspberries and vanilla soy milk)
• 12 noon - Cheese Grits with veggie sausage
• 3ish - A veggie burger wrap with cheese, veggies and mayo.  Oh and a huge bag of barbeque chips!
• 6:30PM - Tortilla chips with spinach and artichoke dip!
• 800 PM - A slice of pound cake
• 11PM - a few almonds

I’ve been craving fruit all last week and I finally got to fulfill that craving (and then some). Now the craving is gone and I’m back to my normal eating cycle.

So now I’ll be heading to the gym soon after I make a few phone calls.

today is leg day!

cya!

As much as I love my cat Fannie I can see me being this batsh*t crazy about my cat at this age.

Boredom and idle time is a dangerous thing. But I totally love this story! LOL!

My sleep is all messed up because I insist on staying up until the wee hours of the morning watching the Olympics. This morning was no different. This morning I wanted to witness history in the making. I watched Micheal Phelps break a world’s record and now I have watched Usain Bolt break it as well.

Let me tell ya something………………..THIS BROTHA CAN RUN!!!!!!!

Last Saturday (Aug 16) he broke the world’s record as the fastest man in the 100m

Last night he did it again breaking Michael Johnson’s 1996  record in the 200m. Watching him run is unbelievable. He makes it looks so easy and he is so f*cking fast.

You know what I like about bolt? He’s tall! During the line up he towers over all the other runners standing at 6′5″. I love watching that. I also enjoy his arrogance and cockiness. Now this may turn many people off because when you are a SUPER ATHLETE people expect you to be humble. I can understand this and some what agree but if you are the best of the best who “poo poo” on your competitors because you know there isn’t a chance in hell they’ll beat you…………………why not strut your stuff.

Anywho, Jamaica is cleaning up in the track catagory. This goes for men and women. The Jamaicans are serving up a hot plate of “whoop azz” and I’m loving every minute of it. **smile*

First I want to apologize to everyone about my blog and profile being inactive earlier. I didn’t do it this time. **grin** There was a glitch in the system and my blog/profile was affected by the glitch but Richard took care of it for me and now it’s back………..WHOO HOO!

Ya’ll know what? I have rewritten this entry at least 6 times. **seriously**

Something went down today and it’s time for me to do something about it. It’s time for me to show someone how I F*CKIN’ ROLL!

My first two entry explain everything that happened earlier today and I wrote what I intend to do about it. But then I thought to myself "Why say anything? Just f*cking do it" and that’s what I decided to do. The worst thing someone can do is make me mad and mess with people I respect. Don’t worry though, all my bodyspace friends will be clued in on what’s about to go down. Unfortunately, I won’t tell ya until I do what I do first. But once it’s done then I’ll explain everything and prove how HELL ain’t got sh*t on me! BELIEVE DAT!!!!

Ok moving right along. *smile*

Today was leg day and AJ worked the hell out of my legs. I’m sore now but tomorrow I’m going to really be sore! Nevertheless I’m excited about the progress my legs are taking. Tonight I’m going to edit those videos for my video blog and upload them here.  What I do now is upload them immediately upon my arrival at home. This way if the tape gets lost or damaged then I have a back up for it.

I finally cut my work load down big time. It’s good to be self employed because I can control the amount of work I do. Now of course that lowers my earnings but I can survive on the little that I make now while I’m prepping for this next comp.  Come October I’ll  build it back up again. Ok well let me go edit these videos now. Check ya’ll out tomorrow!

Cya!

Last week I decided to have cheat day on a Wednesday but it didn’t work out. I end up having a cheat item and that’s not saying much. Why? Because my cheat item was 6 caramel rice cakes. Yeah, that’s some cheat item and it’s not suppose to be an item I’m suppose to have a cheat day but it’s hard. Why is it hard? Because eating clean is so convenient. All my food is here at home and I don’t like buying "dirty" food that I can bring home. So I decided to have all my cheat meals "out", that way I don’t have to bring them home and eat them again the next day. The thing is that I don’t feel like going out so this makes it hard for me to eat my cheat meals. I’ll come up with a better solution soon.

Today I’ll be filming AJ and I working out again. I still have to edit the ones we did last week. So far I’ve been consumed with the Olympics. I’m not much of a sports fan but I absolutely love watching "elite" sports. Seeing the best of the best compete. WOW!

Ok, time to eat my protein powdered oatmeal and prepare for the gym

cya!

So today me and AJ did another video blog today for our back routine. I’ll edit and upload those tomorrow. I got a PM from a member here requesting to see my ab workout. I have several ab workouts but it didn’t occur to me that I haven’t video taped any of them. So after AJ and I did our back workout I did my shoulders and then recorded my ab routine.

I added my favorite type of music to this video (dancehall reggae) so for those of you who don’t like dancehall reggae music may want to turn off your speakers and just enjoy the video muted.

Today’s Ab Workout

1st Exercise - Laying leg lefts (extended) - 3 sets of 15 reps

2nd Exercise - Hanging leg lefts (bend) - 4 sets of 20 reps

3rd Exercise - Weighted Ab Pull downs - 4 sets of 25 (this may be the wrong name for this exercise. If it is can someone please tell me the proper name? Thanks.

4th Exercise - Criss Cross and Scissors - 4 sets for 40 second count

Ok first I must apologize for the pictures being so dark. I have a new camera and I used it for the first time today so I need to learn the features so that the pics can come out brighter than this.

So these are my pictures for my 7 weeks out mark. Last week when I decided not to compete I started eating like shit again. DON’T JUDGE! **smile** But that’s ok, after talking with Sharon and AJ I learned that I can have a cheat day! WHOO HOO! A cheat day on a cut? How f*cking awesome is that?  Now I have to decide what day that cheat will be. It will have to be during the week because I normally eat perfectly on the weekends. Hmmm? Ok, I’ll have my cheat day on Wednesday! Goody! Goody for me!

Ok so here are my stats.

7 weeks out

• Weight -  166 lbs
• Biceps - 12 1/2 inches (not happy about this)
• waistline (at belly button) - 29 inches
• waistline (below belly button) - 32 inches
• Hips - 39 inches
• Right Upper Thigh - 22 inches
• Left Upper Thigh - 22 inches
• Middle right thigh - 20 inches
• Middle left thigh - 20.5 inches
• Calf - 16 inches (major improvement)

I lost the peak in my biceps and I can’t seem to get them to 13 inches again! Grrrr! Everything else is on point. However, I am soooooooooo happy about my calves. They grew about 1 inch in 4 month. Now if I can get my biceps to follow along I will be one happy chick.

Ok here’s the progress pics. Sorry that they came out dark. I’ll have the features figured out on my new camera for my next batch.

As you can see I’ve been working my ass off on my legs.  I’m pretty excited about their progress. Believe it or not I still have years of fat to eliminate from this area. When I tell my friend this they look at me like I’m crazy but I always have to remind them that even though I am tall I carry most of my fat in my azz and legs. So this makes it harder for me to bring my legs in to full definition.

This last picture if for Michel! For months I’ve been promising him some sort of eye candy pictures and I just don’t find the time to do it so I took some private pictures to see how my lats were coming in from a side view. I usually keep these pictures for my private critiquing but decided to upload it here because even though I’m nude you can’t see my “goodies”  But the way, look like how my traps are coming out on the side and my butt is getting defined!
