Progress Update – less than 8 weeks out!

March 30, 2010 competition March 30, 2010

Tuesday, March 30, 2010 I’m pretty impressed with the changes this week! I’m down another pound AND I’VE BEEN SICK!!! I missed the gym multiple days in a row, so this is no cardio and no lifting, JUST DIET! And, Tres added in more fat to help me get over the cold/sinus stuff I had and it worked! So, more calories, less working out, but a strict diet AND RESULTS!!!! To me, that’s a true testament to how important diet is!!! I’m 7.5 weeks out now! Starting to worry about tanning and makeup and make preparations for these things. Need to start working on my posing soon. I picked out a suit designer and I’ll blog on her soon. She’s really affordable so I’m excited ...

Best husband ever…

March 30, 2010 competition March 30, 2010

Please keep in mind that (as my BFF says) this is his “I know I’m the shit” face….so true! And, that he just got back from a long weekend of being TDY and had flown all day (he’s a pilot…so he actually flew). He was so proud of the shirt he found and was so excited to show me as soon as he got home. I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND EVER!!! As Jim said, this gift was “better than flowers” which I had to laugh at but also agree…I now call this shirt his “better than flowers shirt.” (I hate flowers by the way…I’ve asked him to NOT get me flowers…I hate the work, the bugs, the pollen, etc….a story for another day.) This shirt ...

Killer at Large

March 28, 2010 health March 28, 2010

This was a GREAT movie! I watched it on my computer on Netflix using their Instant Queue (which is the coolest thing!) If you have a Playstation, you can also watch movies instantly. Check on their site for instructions. This movie is FANTASTIC!!! The most interesting parts to me were the information on the school lunches in America and what we’re feeding our children as well as advertising and our children and the fact that our children under the age of 8 years old (I believe) cannot determine the difference between programming and commercials. This is well worth the time (only 102 minutes) to educate you to the problems with our childrens’ foods. I am appalled and evidently crazy because I will not feed my ...

King Corn

March 28, 2010 health March 28, 2010

Another amazing documentary! This one is about how important CORN has become in the politics that affect why we are so sick, obese and unhealthy in this country. Corn Farming is the central issue to why we eat fast food, why our kids’ school lunches look the way they do, why corn syrup is in EVERYTHING, why our cows are fed corn rather than grass, and essentially WHY WE’RE SO FAT IN AMERICA!! We’re slowly killing ourselves and it’s apparent when you look around us! This is also available instantly on Netflix Instant Queue. It’s so easy! Go watch! It will open your eyes and hopefully you’ll be appalled and ready to take action, at least in your own life and the lives of your ...

It’s amazing to me that lack of knowledge we have in this country about proper nutrition. He explores what I find as a HUGE problem in America – school lunches!!! Check it out! ...

Progress Update – 9 weeks out!!!

March 20, 2010 competition March 20, 2010

Ok this is a quick post b/c we’re off to the gym! Time is running short lately. I’m behind in getting back to emails and my masters classes. But, I’m holding it all together…barely. The house is a bit messy though I feel like I’ve been cleaning all week…how does that happen? I’m spending time w/ the hubby – most important thing. And, trying to keep up my closest girlfriend relationships also! I’m enjoying this process a lot though! I am close to seeing some shredded abs and can’t wait! I have Tres getting me a new diet later today and I CAN’T WAIT! I will be miserable, I’m sure, with less carbs and more cardio but MORE CHANGES!!! Thanks for all of your well ...
