Thanks Ladies and Gents!!

ok so 7 weeks... and the focus has shifted... how it's ROUTINE ROUTINE ROUTINE!!! It's kinda cool in Winnipeg, we have an adult fitness gymnastics program, so i get to do gymnastics 2 X a week with other girls who are competing or who have competed in the past... you would think that working with your competition isn't a very good idea, however, it really works! and the oddest thing is... everyone is very supportive and helpful to the other competitors!... It sort of goes against EVERYTHING that is normal for women to exhibit in a competitive setting lol...

I'm totally on track physique wise and confident with the changes I've made this year... I KNOW I'll make top 5 in the physique portion of the event (too bad that only counts for 1/3 of the mark lol)

New diet this week... Brown rice and eggwhites are my new favorite food! (a little nutmeg and cinnimon and a sprinkle of splenda and you have a giant weird pancake thinggy... not bad!!) AND.. I get a nice cheat meal tonight.. so all in all... life is good!

until Next week!!! To Infinity and beyond!!

5 weeks and 6 days!!
well, after my "week off" which wasnt really a week off, just a little bit of a forced rest from overtraining, I am feeling GREAT!! Im a little behind on my routine... I just am having a hard time getting getting the moves down pat with shoes on.. who would think that adding a pair of shoes can throw your moves off?? (Have been practicing barefoot all winter)
Diet and programming to change monday... im bang on right now where nI should be.. just feeling anxious to get up there and DO IT!!!

I did something cool this week though!! I was asked to be in a PR video for my gym!! they wanted some girls for the womens training program who look close to contest ready and can lift heavy.. and video'd us working out... and I BENCHED PLATES!!!! lol... 2 whole reps unassisted!! lol.. but considering I weigh 118 pounds right now , benching 135 was pretty dang good!

just a little less than 5 weeks and im a little anxious. i leaned out too quick and have been on a fat/carb load for 10 days... im up 3 pounds and feeling soft..but super FULL and lots of energy. My coach is pleased with where i am, says i am going to hit my peak at the right time now, not 3 weeks early, but its still frustrating.. like hitting the pause button on a movie because your girlfriend has to go pee then realise she went to flipping safeway to pee or something.

the COOLEST thing to happen this week has to be the changes Leigh has made!! she's training for Nationals... and this past month she has been thickening out like CRAZY!!!!.. She might even make middle weight this year!!

34 days for me... 110 for Leigh!!

27 days left until Provincials... I have an updated picture, but my computer crashed like 3 weeks ago and we STILL dont have it back.. so ive been trying to exist between facebook mobile on myu phone and my daughters little teenie tiny netbook, but im so blind i can hardly see the screen. (ill try to get her to post it up)

Once again, I was smashed in the head by my trainer. I am mentally all prepared to just give 'er these last four weeks and get on that stage... and instead, I had on my diet plan yesterday, pizza, desert and appitizers... he said I have to fill up a bit.. I dont get it.. but I did it and NOW hopefully, ill be ready for skinny time. If it were up to me I'd hit the stage as conditioned as a bodybuilder!! (however lacking a few things.. like all the muscle)... and my brain knows how hard it is for me to hold onto muscle, so my brain understands the logic behind it... but I'm just SOOOOO ready to get there and show what i've done and rock my routine and be a superstar for a day!! Leigh says Im impatient, I guess i kinda am.. I think I just have to change my mindset to a more.. "enjoy each day" approach...

ok.. Only 8 more gymnastic classes till the big show!!.. less than 20 Lifts till I do my thing... Only 50 hours cardio left!!! lol.. hmmm.. that didn't help.

Other exciting news.. I GOT A PUPPY!!!!! but she's still a baby so i have to WAIT (damned impatience again) until she is a little bigger until we get her! 3 weeks until Puppy time!!

Be patient and don't hurt yourself in the home stretch.

Thanks T!
are you planning on comming to the show? Prejudging is cheaper than the night show!!!

[BMac]

how much are tickets for the night show? I think i'll venture into the city for it

[Dryvrgrl]

tickets will set you back 36 bucks

That's actually a pretty good idea. 22 is reasonable and I'd much rather see pre-judging. That's the contest.

3 weeks out! last week I decided to pull a muscle... hip flexor, it sucked, luckily, Leigh is an athletic therapist, so Im feeling good now. I got a cheat last weekend, and sunday I started "dietting".. today I posed and tomorrow, I get more food... lol.. I guess I lean out quickly!

Im really just excited and ready to go do this! My routine is all worked out, choreography is done, music done, costume done... I really have nothing left to do except make it through the next 3 weeks, lift smart, and keep practicing my routine! Im a little miffed about the competition... there was a few girls I know who were planning on competing, and they backed out for various reasons... I just really wanted to stand up against some of the girls who beat me last year so I can fairly judge myself as far as gains and weaknesses, but that's cool... i think it will still be a good competition and alot of fun!
