Operation: Bikini Bombshell

ok, i’m unsure if i will be doing this, but i know that lots of you guys might be interested (especially you  bloggers). tom venuto is sponsoring his own BFFM contest. check it out:

Last year, I alluded to the possibility of a Burn The Fat
body transformation competition.

That idea has now become reality.

Announcing…

The Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle (BFFM) - Real Time Physique (RTP)
Transformation Contest

I’m thrilled to have joined forces with Australian Fitness blogger
Adam Waters in co-promoting this highly motivational event.

I have always wanted to host a fitness competition, but I’ve
noticed that ever since Body For Life, almost all of the contests
have  been more or less the same copy cats of BFL.

I’ve been waiting to do something original, and this BFFM / RTP
physique transformation challenge is so unique, I can say
without hesitation that it has never been done before.

The contest is similar to other “before and after” physique
competitions in that we will be looking to choose one male
and one female winner who make the most physical improvement,
as judged by the before and after photos.

The difference is, this is an ACCOUNTABILITY based competition.
To be eligible to be chosen as a finalist, you will be held
accountable for your training, nutrition and lifestyle for 84
days by having to blog your results every day, with at least
a 90% compliance score.

With this level of accountability, whether you are chosen as
the winner to join us for the amazing prize package weekend
with Adam and I in New York City and New Jersey in August, you
will still be a winner, because this system of fitness accountability
virtually assures that you will make the best transformation of
your life

Adam and I, and your fellow “burners” and “shredders” will be
holding you to it!  that’s what accountability is all about!
I personally believe that accountabiliy is the single most
important motivational force there is.

I invite you to learn more details about the BFFM- RTP physique
transformation challenge by visiting:

There may be other fitness contests out there this year, but I have
a feeling that everyone will be talking about this as THE contest of 2009

And by the way, I’m using this as accountability for myself, since
we will be flying the winners of the contest to join us here in
New Jersey and New York City for an amazing prize weekend and part
of the prize package includes pro photographer photos (with
Manhattan skyline in the background).

I plan to be in PEAK shape for that, as I’m sure every contestant
who wants to win will also. Like I said, Accountability is powerful,
and it’s real.

yes, i am still alive.

yes, my progress has still been nil to super slow.

but yes, i am still @ it. i’m still being poked, prodded and tested to make sure i get a proper diagnosis this time around. i should have more info tomorrow but i was recently diagnosed as insulin resistant/glucose intolerant….which was making me crazy. i knew something had to be wrong with me. i was training hard, eating right and my flab was just staying put. any way, i am a busy little bee. i will have to write more on that later.

i’m exploring some options other than metformin/glucophage, which makes me a bit nauseated….bleh. maybe i need to time closer to my meals (or after or something). the pukiness and the flu threw me off schedule for a couple weeks. i was so weak, i could barely make it downstairs to walk my dog a few times a day….and he is soooooo sweet and cuddly, he didn’t even bother me til he absolutely had to go (as long as i let him sleep in bed with me).

i started my M-F schedule again (upper, lower, cardio, upper, lower)…mdrayne, don’t rain fire down upon me. i’m not a slacker, but damn, i like to use my saturdays for other stuff (the beach, bikram yoga, pilates) instead of just plain old cardio.

anyway, thanks to all for checking in on me. as soon as my dr gets my med’s on track, it should be easier for me to reach my goal.
