Winner

May 23, 2010 competition May 23, 2010

No, I didn’t win it all, but I did win a little trophy! I placed 5th out of 11. And, top 5 get a trophy, so…there’s my little cup! And, yes, we are in the parking lot of the Outback and it was fabulous. And, no, I did not get sick. Just more bloated after the carbs & water than on stage. Short story with the long one to follow shortly…. I showed up for weigh/sign-in’s and was told I had to choose between Figure & Bikini! :-O Both my trainer and one of the judges said Bikini – Bikini it was! (I now have my Figure Suit for sale though – FYI) I wanted to do Figure all along but knew I had ...

Definitley could have taken a better pic of my suit but oh well….here it is! No time from now until the show and after the show you’ll get pics of ME in the suit!!! I love this suit. It’s a masterpiece! It’s stunning! Thank you Merry Christine for such amazing work!!! She is a suit designer to the pro’s and was SOOO incredibly kind, helpful and encouraging to little ‘ol me!! Yes, Brooke, the sizes go by cc’s for the tops! When you get this lean your boobs are gone. I had to get all new bras and I NEVER anticipated that I’d lose that much boob.

Progress Update – 2 weeks out!!!

May 8, 2010 competition May 8, 2010

Saturday, May 8, 2010 UPDATE – I am definitely doing the show in TWO weeks!!! TWO WEEKS!!!!! I may not be ready for the pro stage and hell, I may be last place but who gives a $%&*??!! Not me! I’m getting up on stage to fulfill and complete a personal goal. I have learned SOOO much through this process (check back for a post-show reflection post where I’ll tell you all of that) and it has been SOOO worth it. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything and it has been one of the toughest, if not the toughest experience of my life thus far. What a great lead in to the next phase of my life – motherhood and childbirth (God willing!)!!! EPIPHANY ...

Progress Pics – 3 weeks out

April 30, 2010 competition April 30, 2010

Friday, April 30, 2010 (Thanks Alana for letting me know so I could switch the date – accidentally put MAY!) Well, I’m down 2 lbs today after complaining that my weight hadn’t dropped in 2 weeks. Interesting. I’ve been wavering back and forth due to trainers’ advice and telling me they won’t train me. I’m trying to decide what is right for me. I’ve received a TON of support from my friends and family and am SOOO grateful for all of my support!!! I am such a lucky girl. I’m 99% sure I’m still doing this show….stay tuned. There will be more info in a few days or a week. Currently trying to decide if I should still stay the course or cheat/refeed tonight and ...

Progress Update – 4 weeks out

April 23, 2010 competition April 23, 2010

Friday, March 23, 2010 Please forgive me for not posting more. I have things to post and just haven’t taken the time to do it, but I have been thinking a LOT about posting about mindset, dieting and healthy liftestyle versus skinniness I definitely see changes! Hallelujah! I am very pleased with my waist and the way all of my skinny clothes are falling off of me. BUT I am scared to death that I will be fat on stage. I have decreased from 20.4% Body Fat to around 15.5% (by my calculations based on lean muscle mass and all from the dunk tank and my current weight). I am sticking with the plan. I am seeing changes. BUT I ONLY HAVE 4 WEEKS ...
