Things are really coming together for me…I finally busted through the plateau I was stuck on!!! For weeks, even though I felt/looked leaner the scale wasnt moving but then BAM…with just 2 weeks to go, I dropped down to 108.6lbs Thats just 4lbs more than what I was last year but I look so much better…more muscular!!!

I am so ready to hit the stage…and eat Training is easy, I love it but dieting is the tough part. My calories and carbs are low and I am tired, bitchy and hungry!! For some reason, I’m not sure if the diet has anything to do with it, but I have been so clumsy lately…dropping, breaking and knocking over EVERYTHING! Now, I’m normally kinda goofy but this is just nuts LOL!! Also, I went to an Amish market yesterday and that was just a stupid idea…all the fresh/homemade cakes, pies, desserts of all kinds, breads ect smelled so delicious. The cute little Amish people were offering me free samples…I snapped back "NO!!!"  hee hee…they must have thought I was insane.

I have also been putting in time to practice my posing…spinning like a top doing the quarter turns I use my rest time between sets to hit a few poses and it makes me laugh because people at the gym must think I’m so full of myself (as I lift my beater to check the obliques) but its necessary to see how I’m progressing, I dont have mirrors/lighting like that at home…and I have been getting some awesome feedback from some people at the gym, both male and female which is cool since women tend avoid giving another chick props. So between the Amish and the people in the gym, its a good thing I dont give a shit what people think about me! hee hee :p

Ok, enough of my babbling—As you can tell my brain/thoughts are all over the place…blame it on the diet! 2 WEEKS TIL GAME TIME!!!!!!

Yep, just 3 wks left til I hit the stage!!! I’ll definitely be up several pounds from my last show, but I’ve leaned out nicely so I know I made some great gains I have to admit, these last few weeks are really going to kick my boo-tay. My diet is SUPER strict and I’m feeling the effects…my ass has been draggin I havent slept too well, so I’m tired anyway then add the lack of food and some days really suck! I have to be honest…yeah, I’ve been a cranky bitch lately!!! LOL My biggest complaint is how its effecting my training…I feel weaker and that BLOWS!! But on the brightside, I cant help but smile when I see my abs, the leaness in my quads and oh yes…all those veins in my delts!!! I know that how I’m feeling is temporary and in a few weeks it will all be worth it

Now, I must rant for a bit…I HATE when I meet a new person and they ask all kinds of stupid questions about my diet/training!!! I dont mind giving a short version type answer but DO NOT act like there is something wrong with me and give me tips on how I should live/eat/train differently…You dont know what the f*ck you’re talking about so SHUT YOUR F#CKIN MOUTH!!!!!!! Whew, feels good to get that out…I would love to say it to this chick and normally I would slam her right back but it was not exactly the appropriate time/place. Hell, maybe I’m just hungry and overreacting hee hee

Anywho, I hope everyone has fabulous memorial day….those of you doing the BBQ thing, have some extra yummys for me

Here I am…Just 4 weeks before I hit the stage! I feel great with my body at this point…just imagine it with a TAN! HAHAHA!!!! I’m still sitting at 112lbs but I’m definitely leaner My trainer made a few more tweaks to my diet so the calories have dropped a little more and I’m adding a few more sprints into my cardio. My diet has been pretty easy and satisifying up to this point but with my new diet I AM STARVING!!! Like I said, I had it easy so I know I can tough it out the next 4 weeks. My energy was low in the gym this morning but its all part of the process. I had posing practice yesterday and got some awesome feedback!!!! My trainer is very pleased with where I am…and we both agree that my back is my strong point. Also I was chatting with a bodybuilder at my gym this morning and he was showering me with compliments…it really makes me feel good cause he knows what hes talking about LOL!!!

I’m excited because during this prep I have had awesome support from all my bodyspace friends but especially smallguyjoe who is competing in the same show! So its great to be experiencing this with someone…who is going through all the dieting fun with me He really looks incredible, be sure to check him out!!!!

Anywho, I’m off to watch the game then off for some family fun! Happy Sunday

Its game time and I am in the ZONE!!! Here I am, 5 weeks out already…I cant believe it, time is flying by! My trainer put my new diet together and I’ll be starting it tomarrow…the carbs are getting lower EEEEKKK!!! I’m getting leaner and really happy with where I stand right now, so I cant wait to see how my body changes with these slight little tweaks. My weight has been pretty steady and I doubt it will get as low as it was for my last show, I definitely gained muscle during my bulk. My trainer is very happy with my back, he says its a very strong pose for me. Also, I finally sent in my entry form, so this shit just got official! I’m doing both novice and open…maybe I’ll get 2 new trophies hee hee..dont want to get my hopes up!!!! I also booked my hotel room, so I wont have to worry about driving there in the a.m. and dealing with shit that will just make me cranky!

As I said before, I have been really busy lately and my schedule has been a doozie so I havent been online much…soooo sorry for messages that I havent been able to get to but on the brightside—I have managed to get all my workouts in and have planned all my meals in advance, so there are no excuses…my prep is way too important to me.

I dont have any friends that share my passion, so I really appreciate the support you guys give me! It means so much….you guys ROCK

Yes, my mind…I lost it but have no fear I found it As of today I am 6wks out but my weight hasnt really moved much lately, so I’ve been kinda worried. I thought that I looked good, so I wasnt stressing about it UNTIL my suit arrived! Looking at it, seeing how tiny the bottoms are, made me think that there is no way I’ll be able to fit in it in 6wks. After a few back and forth emails with my trainer he helped me relax a bit. Today I was training and feeling good, so when I was resting between sets I hit some poses and then it hit me that I look GOOD!! I have no reason to be down on myself…so I decided I had enough balls to try my suit on—and it looks awesome!!!! Of course not perfect yet, but just the way it should right now…Not to mention, a tan will make a world of difference

Like I said in previous blogs, life has been tough for me lately and this week it got a lot worse…but I’m trying to stay positive and rise above all the shit thrown my way! I know that stress is not good for my health, slows metabolism and holds fat so I’m trying to chill and keep my head under control. So, I’m going to do my best to relax and handle my business then let the chips fall where they may…stay postitive guys, negativity is not a fun place to be
