"I dont think you're ready for this jelly!" 4-weeks to go!

Although I appreciate Destiny's Child's Ode to the "JUICY DOUBLE", I'm trying to reduce, reuse and recycle this tail I'm dragging! Its always been a trouble spot of mine when it comes to competing.

It's definitely coming along, and firming up, I'm just going to have to keep it on pushing! It's funny how a pair of size 26 jeans will be a bit baggy on me right now, but a two piece figure suit can amplify it like I'm Buffy the Body! Aye, aye, aye. I guess "It is what it is!"

Perhaps I am being too critical of myself, I have no idea. All I know is that I am going to work like never before for these last four weeks. A dear friend said to me the other day that I had already won before I actually stepped on the stage. I look puzzled and they went on to say that no matter who the judges determine as the winner, I had already won based on the amount of work and effort I'd been putting in.

Makes sense :)

Either way, thank goodness I still have 4 weeks left to do some damage which I plan to do! I plan to incorporate the prowler and the sled into my last few weeks of prep which has worked well for me in the past. Only time will tell!

I cant stop, cant stop now!

What in BAKED BEANS IS THIS????Welcome to week 5!

Welcome to Week-5 and I'm "straight west coastin'"!
I'm getting nervous  which is normal for me. I start getting OCD about everything from my workouts to my hair and makeup. Good news is that I keep my eyes on the prize and my focus forward. No cutting corners at this point.
However, I am human and I have accepted that. I've had a few bobbles here and there, one including a 2am meet- up with a 3- year old can of baked beans in my kitchen cabnet. Cold and straight out the can. It wasn't until I was halfway though devouring the can of cold baked beans that I came to my senses. Who would've ever thought a can of uncooked baked beans would have ever tasted so "yummy and delicious"? Well the can is gone now and all temptations are out of my kitchen. There isn't a bag of popcorn, jar of peanut butter  box of jiffy mix or can of soup anywhere in sight. Sadly, this is what I have to do. If I can manage to make something with a few cans of kidney beans and a bottle of flax seed oil, then we are in trouble!
I have my new Tamee Marie suit now which I really, really love! I'm considering saving it until a bigger show, since it's super, glitzy but I haven't decided.
I'm still feeling positive and hopeful and will keep moving forward as I always do. All I know is that without the immense support from my  family, friends and clients, there is no way I would be as focused as I am.
This update is for you <3

"My Jeggings are baggy!" 9-weeks out progress post

Welcome to week 3 with 9 more weeks to go!
Getting dressed these days are becoming "un-fun" as my leggings and skinny jeans are starting to look a bit baggy. Ah well I guess that comes with the territory. I guess I cant have everything!

All jokes aside, this has been the most enjoyable prep I have done BY FAR! The meals are pretty similar to what they were last prep and the workouts are focused, pre- planned and to the point! My energy is high is my focus is "dead-on"! My suits (yes plural) have all been ordered for the 2011 contest season and my competitions have all been chosen. There is nothing standing in my way and the support around me of family, friends and other competitors is "inspiring" to say the least! I am excited for what the season will bring and enjoying every step of the way!

I have truly been blessed with amazing friends, both old and new! I can't believe I am doing this, but here are my 9- week out progress photos. The best is yet to come! Please be kind!

Im about to SHINE!

Week 10-
Contest prep is more than 12 weeks of workouts and nutrition. Its also about mental toughness and determination, much like life itself. I've been blessed with experiences good and bad that I have helped to build the woman, daughter, sister, niece, friend that you see today.
Physically I can lift any weight I desire. But life is more than just about how tough you are. Its also about learning from your triumphs and challenges.
I couldnt have asked for a better life, better friends, or a better mother, sister and aunt. With all those blessings bestowed upon me I am sure that this is my year to Shine.
I cant say what that means, but so far, so good :)

I love this song by Ms Larriuex as I feel she sings my heart...
Sing girl!

This season is just beginning and the 12- week countdown will begin VERY SOON! I am happy to have had a fun yet productive off-season and I am back and ready to be "ON". I know these guys will take special care of me.
I'm counting on Dr. Ko to help me through a tough workout and train me in new innovative ways. I am confident that with his brains and "brawns" we'll prepare a package like I've never seen before! He doesn't have a half bad rear lat spread either :)

I have complete confidence in Mr. Ledin. Erik led me through my first National show last year. I had my best nutritional prep EVER and I'm ready to have a go at it again. Check him out at http://www.leanbodiesconsulting.com/.

This is going to be an awesome year FELLAS!!!! WHOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
