Goals
Okay, after last night’s Mid-Florida Competition, I believe I am under estimating the amount of weight I need to lose. I am slim at 155-160. Im 166 now. I look thick in comparison to the competitors last night. So we are not talking walking the street slim, we are talking walking the stage thin. I got it….and now I’m a little worried. I am talking about tilting the scale below 149. HUUUUMMMM! 20 pounds in 12 weeks. I’ve done it at the higher weight.
Had a great work out this morning. Back and bi’s and cardio. Stereo is not working at the work gym so I pulled out the MP3 and jammed to some old stuff. Legs are still sore from Fridays work out.
I need to adjust the schedule and work in a second butt day. I saw so many flabby buttes last night. I also saw some women that did not know how to pose. On stage is not the time to be shy and believe me……I’m scared. But my last 5 minutes of cool down on the treadmill is walking straight and tall. Between sets, I strike poses. I see how bringing the arm back helps define the shoulder. Practice, practice. Yeah, Ima hit every show I can find and watch and learn. I’m starting to see the same people, on stage and in the audience.
So I’m setting new goals, readjusting the schedule and trying to get some progress here.
Peace and Happy Father’s Day to all the Pops Out there.

Hey girlie…I think it’s amazing that you’re checking out the competition. That’s smart! You’re going to look fab on stage…when is ur comp?

Ooooh, yeah. Your off season body and your on season body are strikingly different. I compete in the 120’s right now and I thought that that was just proposterous! But it’s like contest prep just drains you of all your juices and berries and you are essentially starved and dehydrated.
During my first contest prep I turned to my friend and said, "God these women look so SMALL!" And she said, "That’s how YOU look, too".
Keep doing what you are doing–study, make adjustments, train hard, and come in at YOUR best for every show.
I’m cheering for you!
