swirly_79’s BodyBlog

Well, its almost 2 weeks later and I realized I needed to fill in my bodyspace friends about my nationals experience.  The goal was to place in the top 15, I placed 13th.  I was very happy with that.  There were only 18 ladies in my class but I was still pleased with my 1st attempt at nationals.  I met alot of nice ladies, alot of first timers like myself.  There were so many beautiful women there, all in such great shape!  The judge said I needed to work on my v-taper and bring my stomach in tighter…it was the wrong time of the month so I’m over the tummy thing, but I’ll still get her tighter!  She said my one piece did nothing for my body!  Buh bye one piece round I will not miss you at ALL!  I always score lower in the one piece.  Anyways, I was in the 3rd callout for the one piece and the second callout for the two piece.  All in all I’m glad I did the show, now I know what to expect, can calm my nerves a lil more next time, hopefully!  I got to see how I compared in size to the other women, I got a ways to go, but not as far as I had thought b4hand. 

 So now I’m on to the bulking phase (CARBS!!!! hell yea!) and still debating, looking for opinions and advice as to whether I should stick with figure or try out the new bikini division.  We shall see!  Either way next show will be the national show they have in Chicago (figure), my momma wants to see me compete so I gotta take my butt back home!  It’ll be fun and even more exciting knowing she’s there watching.  I’ll holla!

You too little, your not tight enough.. yada yada!  Who are you to say what the judges like and who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do?  I’ll tell you who you are… you are a hater!  I love my haters though, they are the ones in disguise that think they are helping you but they are not.  They helped me win my last show, so what I got 4th out of 4 at the TOC I wasn’t ready and I knew it but my a$$ got up on stage, you didn’t!   Keep at it though, you helped me win the Lenda Murray show and get the overall!  Its okay though.  I am going to Nationals to play with the big girls.  I want to see how I stand up to them. I am only competing for me, against me and with me.  So who the F#ck are you to tell me I’m not ready.  I am competing against GINA and as long as GINA looks even better than she did at the Lenda Murray its all good in this hood, the goal will be marked off as achieved!  My only hope for this show is to be in the top 15 so I can walk back out on stage during finals.  If not, hey it will be a great experience to learn from and I’m sure it’ll be fun, and hell what’s another 12 weeks of dieting, right?  2 down 10 to go.  I’m going to continue to bust my a$$ whether you like it or not.  That was my rant for the day… thanks to all my REAL supporters!  You guys keep my going also, I know who you are too and you guys are great!   

Wow that show was just awesome.  I got first in my class then the overall award.  I was so shocked I got the overall!  yes, I cried.  Couldn’t hold it in… it felt good!  So I made through my husband’s surgery, the dieting and life in general and came out on top and it just felt soooo damn good.  Every one was complimenting me on the 2piece and amazed that I had decorated it myself.  It was just an all around great show for me, I knew people this time and had more people there to support me, it was close to home and worth every bit of sweat, blood and tears I shed for it.  Lenda Murray was soo nice and just still so beautiful.  I’ll put up pics when i get some. 

here’s the finished top, man I love some bling bling!  I got carried away but it was fun!  Now on to the bottom! 

Oh the joy of decorating the suitss!  What a tedious job.  Its fun.  I got carried with the first boob, then I had to do the next!  I finally got the second one done on Sunday!  Now I gotta do the bottoms and the one piece.  here are some pics tell me what you think. 

So this week was 6 weeks out from the Lenda Murray show, my husband had back surgery Monday and it didn’t go so great.  I was in and out of the hopsital after work, couldn’t  get to the gym because I had to work all day then go to the hospital.  He had his spine fused together and it was a 9 hour surgery. He is home now as of last night.  He has to walk with a walker and can’t feel his quads, nothing on his legs from the knee up can he feel.  I feel like crap if I leave him now to go to the gym so I’ve just been doing cardio out in the garage while he’s knocked out from the pain medicine.   I was so stressed and home alone earlier this week I couldn’t take it and binged.  Let me tell you, it wasn’t worth waking up at 4 am with bubble guts and running to the bathroom!  Junk food doesn’t make you feel better, just worse.  So all I can do now is prayed he gets the feeling back in his legs and can start walking.  For now I will do what I can, if I can’t do this competition then there will always be more.  Right now what’s important is getting him healed and walking again.

p.s.  NO MY BUTT IS NOT WINNING THE WAR!  FAMILY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE WAR RIGHT NOW, JUST BACKING OFF TILL THINGS GET BETTER FOR MY HUSBAND AND I WILL COME BACK AT HER!  I’M STILL GONNA WIN THE WAR!

Well here goes my 1st blog.  Today is cooking day for the week.  10 lbs of chicken and 4 bags of fish.  Cook cook and cook, feels like that’s all I do, and eat of course.  This is the easiest way for me to do it since I work all day and have no set time at which I get off.  So then I cut up all the food, weigh and bag it.  Got the chicken on the grill and the fish in the oven.  Well gonna keep on cooking!!
