Here is my competition suit! I absolutely love it and now I am even more jacked up for my show I havent put it on yet…but boy is it TINY! I’ve got 6.5wks to kick my ass into rock hard shape, since those bottoms dont leave much to the imagination LOL!!

It was made custom by Lidia Conti…I have to give this chick her props! When I ordered it, she told me it would be shipped on 4/25 and sure enough it was delivered 4/27! I got my first suit from her too and was very happy with that one as well. She has suits for every price range and is super helpful for inexperienced gals like me…I highly recommend her services, as I am one satisifed customer

LOL! hows that for a title So here I stand 7 weeks out from my show and things are going as smooth as can be! The scale was stuck this week so I’m sitting at 112.6lbs but I feel and look leaner so there are no concerns. I’m seeing more and more veins all the time, so I know I’m heading in the right direction! Also, a figure competitior and a bodybuilder from my gym both told me how awesome I look and that I’m not far from ’stage ready’ so you know that had me pumped I had posing practice last weekend and my trainer is really happy with how I look, especially my back which I love too!!! I met with him this morning and since he feels good with where I am, we’re not cutting calories again but just increasing the cardio and putting those calories to work! I’m now doing LISS 3x/wk and HIIT 3x/wk. It was so beautiful here today so I decided instead of going to the gym for cardio I would do my sprints outside on the track near my house. I usually do them on the bike or elliptical so this was a first and now you see where the vomit comes in at…OMFG!!!! Hitting the track is so much more intense than everything else…my legs were on fire, my chest and throat were burning and yes, i thought my lungs and heart were going to come out of my mouth! Due to time issues it wont always be feasible for me to do it here but I’m going to try to schedule it so at least 2 of the 3 days i can hit the track

on a personal level, life has been a very bumpy road the last few months but it seems like maybe things are on the way up! They (who are they??) say that you have to hit rock bottom before you can start climbing back up and I think I hit it and it looks like things are moving in the right direction for me. While I’ve been dealing with all this drama, it has really annoyed my training schedule but I manage, no matter how crazy things have been to get all my training in and have all my meals prepared so there are no excuses!! Now, things are going to be changing for me again in the next few weeks but after that I should be able to get my life into a routine again!

Enough of my bitching LOL!!! I’m exhaused from a very long week…time to relax a bit

I am very happy to say that the scale was nice to me this morning! I’m down to 113.8lbs with 9 weeks to go I know that I made some gains during my bulk, so I’m not really sure where my contest weight will be. Last year I was at 104lbs but I’m feeling pretty lean already, so I’m not sure how much more weight I will drop in the next 9 weeks. I know I’ve made some nice changes in my body so I’m pumped to see the final results! My trainer increased my cardio a little bit more this week…which is awesome, cause I’m really not down for giving up my food I’m temped to take some pics this weekend, but I’d like to wait a little while longer so I can REALLY see a difference.

So, this sunday is Easter and of course I’m prepping so NO CANDY FOR ME I’ll be doing the whole family thing with dinner at my parents house but of course I’ll be going with a fully stacked cooler…so no yummy comfort foods, but I know that it will be worth it when I get on stage.  I’ll just keep chomping on my gum and hopefully that will help fight the urge for candy! I hope everyone has a fantabulous holiday and I want those of you that can to eat up for me

This weekend is the start of baseball season, where my Phillies start their quest for a repeat! I will be at the last exibition game tomarrow and then Opening Night on sunday Now I have to get back in the habit of eating at the ballpark…Get ready Philly here I come, cooler and all LOL!!! I’ll have my tuna, chicken, rice…all the goodies, I can still prep for my show and enjoy a ballgame. While, I have to admit…its not a blast watching everyone else eat cheese steaks, nachos, soft pretzels and ice cream but when I’m ripped on stage its all worth it.  Other than training, baseball is my other passion…so I will always make it work

Speaking of my prep, I am 10 weeks out and stuck at 114.2lbs. The other day I stepped on the scale and I was a little less but maybe I just didnt pee enough before getting on the scale today At first I was a little cranky but then when I was training this morning I was hitting some poses inbetween sets and I think I look pretty good. My muscles are full as I’m leaning out…my abs are definitely becoming more visable so I’m not going to let that number effect me at all! THE SCALE WILL NOT DICTATE MY MOOD!!!!!

I cant believe this was my 100th blog! I always get such awesome comments/support, so thanks to everyone that actually reads these…sometime I babble and forget people read them. Hopefully you can learn a little something or at the very least, I can make ya giggle

Anywho, I have to go cook all my meals and pack the cooler for tomarrow…LETS GO PHILLIES!!!!
