So yesterday I went to Hollywood Video to pick up some motivational movies… You know the type, Rocky, Invincible (I rented both, and if you can believe, it, have not seeing either before! I know, pathetic!). Oh, and I did pick up a movie that has both Nicole Kidman (Queen of drama) and Jack Black (King of Comedy) in it. Interesting mix, eh? But I was wondering, are there movies out there about kick a** women? And I don’t mean the Lara Croft type either. I mean real women or even fictional real women, a woman from the sticks who turns out to be a kick a** athlete. Preferably one who doesn’t die in the end (a la Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby). It’s not that I have a thing against men. I LOVE men, but every now and then, I would like to watch a movie about a really strong woman overcoming all odds to be at the top of her game.

So today I am going to the gym and will hopefully be able to have one of the trainers there do a proper body fat analysis. I have one of those fat scales at home, but I don’t think it is very accurate. The last time I weighed myself, it said I was about 10 pounds lighter than what I weighed at the doctor’s office about two weeks earlier and I *know* that ain’t the truth!

 I am registered for my first fitness competition this September, the FAP in Vegas. One would think that getting up in front of a crowd in a tiny two-piece would be enough motivation for me, but it’s not! I am religious about working out but I am not very good about sticking to the diet. What can I say for myself? I have a MAJOR sweet tooth and LOVE carbs… (sigh). I read somewhere that eventually I will find the things I used to eat repulsive, and I can only hope that is the case!

 Plus, I think it is hard when people close to me don’t understand my wanting to eat clean and wanting to be ripped and people (like my mom) who say I am looking skinny (but to me, I am skinny fat). So, there is some of that going on too. Nonetheless, I am chugging along as best as I can, and I hope that this site will help to provide some of the motivation and support that I need!
