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 ...

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 ...

Progress at 11 weeks out!

March 6, 2010 competition March 6, 2010

Busy girl didn’t charge her camera. Busy girl hasn’t touched her camera in a week or more. Busy girl’s camera almost died during photoshoot. Photoshoot was rushed and here are the results! These are at the wrong angles and the camera is in the wrong place. I got my shoes! And, I definitely see a difference in the rear shot – mostly in my waist – from that rear shot. I have work to do on my lower half but that’s the last to lean out so not too shocking there. The scale hasn’t budged much but I’m looking leaner so it’s working! (Can’t wait for the scale to move though!) Last week it was after the weekend that it moved – Sunday/Monday – so ...

Progress Update – 12 weeks out!!!

February 28, 2010 competition February 28, 2010

February 27, 2010 Well, it’s been quite a month of soul searching to decide what I wanted to do and I’ve decided! I have such a sense of peace about my decision! Here’s a brief synopsis of my dilemma. My trainer and I didn’t really click from the start but I trusted his philosophy so I went with it. Turns out we really didn’t mesh well. Also, turns out he was not willing to get me to my goals in time for my upcoming show. He wanted me to continue to cut slowly, however long it took, and not set a date. I needed a date to get psyched about this and dedicate to it. I was feeling hopeless with no end in sight and ...

Progress Update

January 7, 2010 progress pics January 7, 2010

. (having some issues w/ WordPress and formatting….have some learning to do w/ the new blog!) I decided to do the update a little early. I got a camera tripod…yes, finally…but I still have a lot of work to do to learn how t0 use it! So, I’ve been in a “rut” lately. First, I was sick for 2 weeks and didn’t got get an antibiotic….will go get one next time b/c it put me into a “rut.” Then, my hubby was home for 2 weeks. That was really hard! All I wanted to do was sit on the couch w/ him and relax….so we did. There is no excuse for that! I actually felt a little depressed b/c I wasn’t out and doing and ...

November 15, 2009 progress pics November 15, 2009

November 13, 2009This is my first butt pic so please be nice I plan to show my befores (which are GREAT befores..if you know what I mean) when I have a great after…this will be the in between. It’s funny that you can see my left arm in the middle picture has a “farmer’s tan” or “driving arm” from driving so much lately – including the 5 hour drive to get there on my business trip….all the way in the sun. Oops!I feel as though I’ve maintained the last few weeks which I know is a great thing…it’s hard to maintain, but as hard as I’ve worked I hope to see more results. I have done it to myself though…last …
