to the east side…ok not really the east side…but the scale is movin’ on up (am i a dork or what???) i weighed in this morning for the first time in almost 2 weeks and i gained 2 pounds! i’m pretty happy about that, i want to keep my gains at a slow and steady pace…limiting as much fat gain as possible! i’m not going to make any changes to my diet this week, i’ll see next weekend where my weight is and make any tweaks i need to from there. its been about a month since i started my new diet and training program, after initially losing weight and worrying about the increase in calories i feel like i am on the right track. i cant wait to tell my trainer…he’s going to be so proud of me i need to take some new pictures sometime this weekend too…i have to admit the increase in food has me feeling a little soft, so i’m hoping the pictures will show an increase in muscle…not fat/water!

tomarrow i am attending my first figure competion. its an OCB show in delaware…i’m super excited! i’ve never been to a show before, so i’m looking forward to seeing the whole process of how everything is done…and what the girls look like, kind of a gauge of where i need to be. i’ll be sure to blog all about it!

now, i’m off–gotta go get an oil change and shocks for my car. big fun on my rockin friday…hope everyone has as much fun as i am

i LOST a freaking pound! i’ll tell ya…this gaining weight thing is trickier than i thought. i’ve increased my calories each week and managed to LOSE weight! i guess my metabolism is firing on all cylinders i’ve been having some hardcore workouts—i guess its all them carbs! this morning i had an awesome chest/bi/tri workout and my legs are still screaming from the killing i gave them yesterday! i’m going to bump up my calories yet again this week, in hopes of some progress…not that i mind, i quite enjoy getting my grub on

oh yeah—the other day i finally got the balls to submit some of my pics from my shoot to Oxygen for ‘future of fitness’. i’m sure they get thousands of submissions, so i have no expectations—just the fact that i now have the confidence to actually send them make me a winner! ~cheesy…i know!~

happy fathers day to all the dads out there…i hope everyone is being nice to their daddy today! normally, i take my dad to the phillies game, but they are on the road so i stopped by this morning to say hi and drop off his gift…he loved it

i’ve been doing really well with my new routine…my body is definately feeling it i have been slowly increasing my carbs, to help bump up them calories….gotta eat to grow! i weight myself on sunday mornings and after my first week of less cardio and more calories…i lost a few pounds! i guess my body is so hungry its just burning everything i eat! i met with my trainer again today and we did legs (killer!!)…and he wants me to keep bumping up my carbs/calories. i’m due for another weigh in this sunday…hopefully i havent lost anymore weight! my, oh my how times have changed….i NEVER thought i would be bummed about losing weight let alone actually trying to gain weight i have to say i am enjoying my carbs again….oats for breakfast…yummy! the more i eat…the more hungry i am, i just went on a crazy strawberry feast…damn they were delicious!!! of course i dont think strawberries are going to do any damage to the scale :p

looks like tomarrow will be another saturday at the gym i have to work til noon, then i have a baby shower to go to (i’d rather be doing anything else!!!), so i probably wont get to the gym til around 4-5 in the afternoon…hopefull everybody will be gone by then and i’ll have the place all to myself
