Long time no blog…..
Be prepared for a novel! Its been a while since I last babbled about all the $hit going on in my head/life. So here I am…9wks out!!! I’m sitting at 114.2lbs so I’ve got 6lbs to get down to my competition weight and I know I can do it. Secretly, I’m hoping to maybe drop an extra 2lbs so I’m even leaner than my last show. My trainer increased my cardio this week, up to 5x a week…I’m only doing steady state right now and as my weight loss stalls, we’ll add in some sprinting. I dont like cardio BUT I’d much rather work harder and burn more calories, than CUT calories…ME like to eat 
My diet has been on point since my last blog, when I started my prep. I’m hitting my macros daily…no more cheats/treats/binges or whatever the f@ck you want to call it. I feel good…mentally and physically, which is a nice place to be. My goal is keep this feeling AFTER my show, which is when I tend to lose it and go through all the post comp blahs…I LOVE prepping, its living normal that I struggle with. I ordered my suit a while back, so I should have that in the next few weeks and I will be sure to post some pics as soon as it arrives…not with me wearing it of course 
I went with a darker green…technically, its called ‘evergreen’. All I know is….its green, velvet and BLINGED out!!!! It should look rockin with my hair still being black.
As far as all the other areas of my life, things are much better than they were. Anyone that has read my prevous blogs knows that life has been really difficult for me the past month or so, but luckily I seem to be on a more positive track. EVERY experience, even the $hitty ones are worth it….its all a learning experience, tough times show you how strong you are and what you’re really made of! And I am one rock solid bitch!!!! As a little reward for how well I’ve been handling things…prep, life, stress ect…I treated myself to a new piercing 
I got my nape done and of course, I love it…so freakin cute! A lot of people keep asking ‘why??’—because I want to and I’m running out of other places to put them! LOLOLOLOLOL!
OOH…I have a silly little gym story to share too! Today I was at the gym and this dude was asking me why I’m there so much, blah, blah, blah…I said that I compete, my goals, blah, blah and then he says "So, do you use??" I said "no and if I did, I’d want my money back!!!" Jackass…I’m 5′4", 114lbs and I size 1, if I’m using then something went terribly wrong LMFAO!!!! People are so weird. I wouldnt just assume something like that and if I did I wouldnt ask…quite frankly, its not really any of my business! Oh and the other day, some old guy (60 or so) tried telling me the ‘right’ way to train…I was lifting in the 6-8rep range and apparently, thats too hard for me…he said that I need to make it easy, by hitting 20-25reps! WOW—thank you so much, I had no idea THEN he got cranky with me when I said I didnt need his help, and that I know what I’m doing. Whats wrong with people???? Why dish out information I have ZERO interest in…not to mention WRONG info!!!!
Whew…told ya, I had a lot to ramble about! So I dont blame anyone that didnt make it through…its OK if you nodded off for a while ;) Hee hee! Today, I’m kickin on the couch with my babies watching the Phillies game….I’m a simple chick! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend

I hate unsolicited advice (and especially wrong advice, too). Didn’t nod off. Sounds like you got a lot on your plate and that you’re handling it pretty well. Good luck at the comp.

Ouch, two piercings are enough for me, I think I’ll stick to the tattoos! Glad to hear everything is going well, take care!

Wow, you are so tiny. I am 5?4", 121 lbs, size 2-4 and bulking right now. However, I will never be as lean as you are. If I can be at 17-18% body fat be next summer after the cut, I would be ecstatic.
Glad to hear you are right on track with the contest prep.
As for this dude, God, I would be mad. What’s will all those people giving wrong and unsolicited advice? Anyway, take care!!

Old guys are the worst at the gym. They’re the ones who pester me about my workouts.
And LOL @ the guy who thought you were using. I’d want my money back too if I were using. We should be jacked beyond medical belief, LOL.

Some people at the gym can be so ignorant sometimes LOL! That’s why when I go to the gym I put my music up so loud I only focus on myself and the iron! Some people are just always negative and thats unfortunate, what he should of said was, "Damn your smoking hot keep it up" LOL…I always say sorry I’m busy when someone approaches me about doing something "wrong" HAHA…Was he jealous b/c you were lifting more than him or b/c you had better form…LMAO..Some people will never learn, ah well

Reading your blogs always makes me feel better. I’m finally gonna do my measurements again to see where I am now. Too funny about the guys in the gym. You will reach your goals and more!

Yeah, haha, the other day when I was as the gym some guy literally walked up to me and tried to tell me I wasn’t using enough weight. I tried to tell him I was at the sixth lap of a superset and I was doing high reps, but he didn’t want to hear it. Meanwhile he was attempting to do shrugs with db’s that were wayyy to heave for him. It was really fun to watch though. Just keep this in mind. Most people at that place at some time probably attended some crappy high school in L-Town HAHA. Wait, I think I may have just busted on myself! Take Care!
