8wks out and full of opinions =)
Time for the ever-important updates! da-da-dum-dum-DUM…I am 8 weeks out and starting to freak a bit. The scale hasnt been moving and while that isnt the be all end all….the mirror aint lookin too hot either. I had posing class yesterday and after seeing me, my trainer decided to make some slight tweaks…nothing too drastic, dropping some carbs and adding some sprints. Hopefully, that should get things moving again…I like to be show ready a little early, so I can cruise and be stress free the last 2 weeks. Thats why having a trainer is so important to me…there is no way I could do my prep alone. I freak too easily and would cut cals too low and do too much cardio then come in stringy and flat. Also…I am SOOOOO F#CKIN SORE!!! Posing is not as easy as it looks and it takes a lot of hard work to make it look effortless…my whole body is sore, Plus I trained quads this morning. There is a good chance I may not be able to get out of bed in the morning LOL 
I saw the E! special on female bodybuilding and I was less than thrilled with it. The first half focused on roids WAY too much…just re-enforcing the stereotypes. I also wasnt diggin the whole ‘fetish’ side of the sport, yes…it is a real aspect but not competitors let men touch them for money. The story of Siren from AG was very sad…I loved her as a kid, so her ending was an unfortunate one. It did profile 2 women getting ready for competition and I thought that was pretty cool, as it showed how hard they train and how strict their diets are…the effect is has on their social lives…or lack thereof. Since its only an hour long, there is only so much they can fit in and obviously just showing the comp prep wouldnt be a highly watched show. But, I know I would be tuned in 
OK OK OK…I’m done ranting ’bout that!
Today a woman at the gym approached me and asked my opinion on doing a juicing detox cleansing diet…."since you’re always drinking diet juice" LMFAO….its Xtend dumbass Anywho…Look, I’ve done EVERY stupid tactic to lose weight since I was like 12 and the reality is NOTHING works EXCEPT……a CLEAN diet and HEAVY weight training. You body is an amazing machine…fuel it with clean foods and your body will cleanse itself, you dont have to do any crazy tricks! Keep it simple!!!!!
Whew..see, I warned you that I was full of opinions today Other than that, I’m having a lazy sunday….gym, food shopping and watching the game. Unassisted Triple-Play to end the game….oh, this is so our year again…already ordered my playoff tix!!!!! Okey Dokey, my rambling is done for now….have a fan-tab-u-lous sunday!!!

Nice post! 8-weeks is still plenty of time. Keep training hard and stay away from the scale….and keep drinking your "DIET JUICE" LOL!
Best of luck to you hun.

Haha, I wrote a blog this morning about that E! show. That was WACK.
Amysuds had written about how much posing takes out of her and how she has to set aside training days to practice and hold the poses to build strength for it.
Good luck with your training!

I tried to TIVO this show but my dumb DIRECTV couldn’t locate it…looks like I didn’t miss out though.
You’re going to look great on stage girl!

I totally agree with you about the show. I was hoping it would be a little more recent and not so stereotypical with the whole steriods thing. Even in some of the previews when they had that teen figure girl saying "I take a lot of pills" it was obviously trying to convey a message.
Doesn’t the soreness after posing feel great though? Like you accomplished something! You’re looking great!

I wish I had seen that show. I haven’t done my first comp yet and I’m already sore most of the time, you mean I be sore from posing too???? Sheesh…oh well, love of the sport will keep me motivated….
