Five short weeks out from my competition and my weight is still the same.  This is great news for someone that has trouble holding onto weight!  I keep telling myself it’s crunch time, but for some reason I crave sugar like crazy lately.  I am able to resist it for the most part, but it keeps calling my name! 

Here are my latest pictures that offer little change at all from the beginning.  I have always been able to pull off big changes during the last week before a show, even a day before a show,but I want to feel more prepared going in.  That’s just the way my body responds.

Well, I can see that I need to start making alot more changes-LOL!!  Last week was so hectic with my daughter’s 4-H and work that cardio was not priority.  I only did 3 thirty minute sessions    I did have some great workouts, though!  I am still so sore that it takes me a few minutes to stand completely upright!! 

I have great motivation starting this week out and have made some big changes in my diet….I have a new post-workout shake that should help me hold on to some of those little muscles! 

I am going to be tracking my progress for my first pro show on my bodyblog for the next 7 weeks.  The show is September six and I will be posting weekly photos so we all can watch the changes…hopefully they will be BIG changes-LOL!! 

Here I am at 8 weeks out….

I have a pretty fast metabolism, so I just started cleaning up my diet.  I eat at least 115 grams of protien a day and weigh 111 pounds.  I need to hold that weight as long as possible! 

Its been awhile since I’ve written a post and alot has happened since then.  Well, at my last show (the one that I decided to do a few days before) was a great experience!  I won the overall title, including an NGA pro card.  That night I had a bad stomach ache that drove me into the ER a couple nights later.  After a few expensive and painful tests and a second trip to the ER, I had my gall bladder removed.  The scars are healing and I’m feeling good.

My first pro show is in 8 1/2 short weeks!  I’m excited but nervous.  I hope I can put on even more muscle by then.
