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, April 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 ...

Progress Update – 5 weeks out

April 16, 2010 competition April 16, 2010

Friday, April 16, 2010 * 5 weeks out from May 22, 2010 show A lot has happened this week. I will share with you at a later date. I’ve made a lot of progress this week both mentally and physically. I’ve made a lot of changes…both mentally and physically.  I got a spray tan…and you can tell b/c my belly button is dark (oops) and if you could only see my hands and feet. :(    I’ll have to be more careful tonight when I go back for my second coat. I’m down another pound and I think it’s definitely visible in my waist! I see it in the mirror and in my clothes and think it shows in the pics as well – not just ...

Progress Update – 6.5 weeks out

April 7, 2010 competition April 7, 2010

April 7, 2010 ~ 6.5 weeks out I am still holding some water here from eating some carbs over the weekend. Tsk! Tsk! I know!  Moving on…. I definitely see a smaller layer of fat over my abs and a trimmer waist (from behind) and thighs.  My clothes fit better! Hallelujah!  If I compare these with the pics from last week I definitely see a difference, even though I’m holding some water still – the scale is high still from carbs – Boo! Tres (the trainer) cut my diet WAY down starting tomorrow….pray for me.  He cut out one meal and cut down the rest of the meals.  My carbs are way down.  And, I’ll be doing more cardio. God help me…really!  I am so ...
