So, I went to California and had the time of my life…I pretty much let myself have some much needed fun. My diet wasnt terrible but then again it wasnt the best. I ate and drank what i wanted. When I left for vacation I was 121 pounds and when I got back (just one week later) I weighed in at 130 even. Wow, I know. See what happens when you dont eat carbs really and then you do. That got me in gear really quick. I arrived at the Atlanta airport at 5:20 in the morning after a 6 hour flight (left SF at 10 p.m.) and when I stepped on the scale and saw 130 I went straight to the gym after no sleep….Not the best idea but it got me back on track…I am now at 126 so far so good. I want to at very least get back down to 120. No more junk! I am too close to spring for this! Lets see what happens now that I am going full force. New pictures will be taken just as soon as I get over the bloat from the up coming TOM. See you soon and even smaller! The good news though is that I allowed myself some good healing time. My arms are looking great! Now lets just get my stomach in gear!!! It is so huge right now it is killing me to look at it. Usually I have a flat stomach with some deffintion, now right now though…. 

So, I am going on vacation tomorrow to San Fransico! I cant wait….I am going to ride a bike across the Golden Gate bridge and celebrate with the rest of California Bush leaving office! I cant wait! I am sure to loose maybe a pound or two while on this trip. I am packing my protein bars and bringing my oatmeal so I will be a-okay! I am going to be doing so much biking and walking I doubt I will have any worries at all. Gosh, traveling alone is exciting! I have never been out west and never traveled by myself. I cant wait to do whatever it is I want when I want. I am staying at a hostel so the experience should be awesome. I will tell you all how it goes. I need a good week of no lifting anyway, allowing my body to recover is the best thing I have ever done! I will also have some updated pictures when I get back as well. My body is changing daily!

I swear there is this one really old guy that just creeps me out at the gym…I have been going to the YMCA for over 5 years now and I have had TONS of guys come up to me and say "ummmm, you need to do this exercise like this, your doing it all wrong…" Or they will comment on my tattoos or ask me questions. I have my i-pod glued to me the entire time that I am working out! Why talk to someone that has head phone on!!!!! I CANT HEAR YOU NOR DO I WANT TO TALK TO YOU WHEN I AM DOING 30LB BICEPT CURLS, ass!!! Sorry but today the worst thing happened to me yet! Back to what I was saying….There is this one old guy that goes to the gym and sits on the machines and basically watches me the whole time. I do admit, I get into it at the gym (no I dont make sex noises while exercising!) Anyway, usually I block out the guys checking me out and focus on form and what I am doing. Today was leg day. So first off I do squats then I go straight to doing deadlifts (80 pounds mind you!) So I put two 25lb plates on the floor (to lift my heels up so that I can really get a good lift in) and the 80lb weighted bar in front of me and away I go, doing deadlift after dead lift. There is not much room for me to do deadlifts anywhere but sandwiched in between the weighted bars and right in front of the leg extention machine. Well, this ******* sits right in front of me on the machine while I am bending over and trying to stick my butt out as far as possible and just sits there! I was right in the middle of a set so I didnt stop but I basically was bending over right in fron of him (my head in his direction so it was very uncomforatble for me because all I could see was his old crotch!). I was so pissed off (still am, cant you tell!) That I dropped the bar (I never throw weights) and just stood there looking at him until he felt so uncomforatable that he moved. I didnt say a word. I just dropped the weight and gave him the most god aweful look (while saying the most god awful things in my head to him.) Sometimes you dont need to say anything, you just need to say what you want in your head while looking at the person and your eyes and face do the talking. I am so sick of this perv and have had to deal with him for the last year. NO MORE! I am going to intimidate the hell out of him everytime he is there. MOVE OUT OF MY WAY. STOP STARING AT ME AND DO WHAT YOU CAME TO DO. WORKOUT!

Ok, ok,ok, I am done with the rant. I just had to get this off of my chest. Thanks for listening!

I have been asking for help for quite sometime. I had some pictures of me during the summer (and when I looked my best) but now we are in Januray. I am white and well lets just be nice and say I need some work. Do you think that I could ever compete??? I want honesty. What do you see needs the most work? I look at the pictures and I dont even know where to start. My workout plan is on my page along with my diet. Now if I just can get some help!!!! I halfed my workouts so that I can recover….Help!
