I'm still kickin
Whew, I know you all said I don't complain much and my husband laughed when I told him that :) He said he'd rather hear me complain about having to workout again than stand in front of a mirror and cry about how fat I am. Smart man.
I got put on 1/4 of oats this week *sigh*. It won't be long now and I would be lying if I said i'm not ready to rest. I'm excited to see what happens with my body next week. I hope a lot happens but we'll see. Now i'm stressing about little things like how to wear my hair, will my tan turn out okay, and will I look like an idiot when I pose. Rough life huh?
The weather is great this week and that helps my mood. I have actually been cooking for my husband for the past couple of days. For awhile I told him to fend for himself because I just don't have time. I felt like I was neglecting him and I do love to cook so I started it back up.
Well i'm off to take my shot of nastiness (aka ACV & LJ) sometimes I like that stuff but today I don't?
Oh, look who finally is making an appearance!! My right calf!

Family

It was so good to be with my whole family yesterday. It was my Grandma's 80th and she didn't know she was going to have a party. She thought she was going to a festival with my Aunt and was really surprised. Grandma this happens every year how did you not know something was up??? She even cried she was so happy. The WHOLE family is not together that often so it was extra special. I was there with tuna and asparagus in my lunch bag :(
Mike bought the first season of Heroes so we've been catching up....so far I love it!!!
I've getting a little freaked out seeing as I only have 13 days left and I still have a huge ass! I'm still doing cardio twice a day for an hour and climbing 20 flights of stairs which has now been doubled eek!! At the end of the week Tony is going to have me do a sodium load to see what happens with my body. I like experiments so bring it on!!!
Me, Grandma, Aunt Barb and Mom

Almost 2 weeks out and 111.4
I can't believe I only have 2 more weeks!!!! Dang time is flying. Today Mike and I went and played putt-putt and I whooped him!! I didn't rub it in his face or anything but if he wouldn't have won I know he would have mine. I'm just not competitive like that.
Tomorrow i'm not taking the spinning class i'm doing the bootcamp class. I think that will be a great class to take right before the comp because it will be a total body workout. Maybe it'll shocked my little shoulder muscles to pump up :) I'm also doing another posing session. I'm feeling more comfortable with my poses and i'm just trying to do what is right for my body. I may put my leg leg forward since my hip is jacked up. Also if you'll notice my left arm is jacked also. This is of course from my accident when I was 5. They'll be focusing on my six pack though not those things :)

Pity Party :(
Guess who's not going to the season opener for the Colt's tonight even though she has season tickets??? I have too many workouts to get done HA! I am off tomorrow though and will be enjoying a relaxing day with the hubby.
We are either going to see a movie or play putt-putt....depends on the weather. We are also going to go out and eat *gasp*!! Now that my diet has changed there are things on restaurant menus I can have :) We'll probably go somewhere that has tuna and broccoli. Of course this involves explaining not to maranade, glaze, and pour butter on top of anything. Nothing ticks me off more than to order a nice plate of fresh veggies and they come with butter poured all over them!! Better yet they come fried, this happened to me once BARF! I'll probably talk myself out of the eating thing though cause I don't trust people.
I also want to know who put lead in my shoes this morning? Tony told me there would be days when you just can't do it. I did it but not up to par.

Getting sick of these yet?
I got my new diet this morning and will start first thing tomorrow. I'm excited to see what happens! My unexpectedly invited friends over yesterday so my routine was thrown off. I was so pissed that I threatened to not even workout. Ugh! Men!! Actually it was nice to see some of his friend that I havent seen because I am a hermit. I ate fish while they ate juicy angus burgers and chips and salsa. They are all very supportive of me though and don't say eat this or that they just say wow they would not be able to do it. I told them I think I am going insane though.
Oh, weight didn't change but my measurements did! I'm now a 24 waist and 34 hips!(Laurie it never changes huh?)

Spinning and posing
It felt so good this morning to get up and go somewhere instead of on my treadmill LOL! Spinning was awesome and i'm definitely going to feel it tomorrow. I'm also going back Saturday :)
Andi asked if i've taken a posing class before because I looked great!! There were three other girls there that had competed before so I kind of just watched what they did. One of them I may be competing against YIKES!!! She was beautiful, this is her first figure show but she was a bodybuilder so she has tons of muscles. Andi was talking with her though and said that the OCB really likes a leaner look?? We'll see! Andi also told me about the show in Chicago and she thinks I should be in it too. It is more of a bikini contest and she said I would do great. She is like me and cannot build her shoulders for anything. She is small hipped though and since she is just now prepping I can tell her weight went straight to her middle area. That is where I have a bit of an advantage I think. I really don't carry much weight there. She really boosted my confidence! She said I have such a tiny waist and that the judges will love it!
Either way i'm so excited to be doing this no matter what happens. I'll weigh tomorrow but I will take pics for Tony tonight. I may post if there are any changes.
After spin class :) Andi and I
This is Keisha, maybe my competition. Might I add that after posing she ate a huge MegaCollasal Protein Bar!! LUCKY!!

Firestarter
Or
The Whistle Song
I really love The Prodigy but i'm afraid it will make me walk too fast! LOL! I was in Color Guard so I walk with the beat, it's in my blood.

Why I love you guys :)
You have the nicest and dearest comments and I know you know how I feel. When I say I wear a size 3 now to you it's not being conceited but that i've been working and dieting my butt off.
Comments from people I work with:
Are we going to see you on one of those please feed this child commercials?
What's up Olive Oyl?
I'm going to by you a hamburger for lunch.
I do get some people that I don't see everyday just mention "Have you lost weight?"
See what I mean. Of course they don't see my progress pics and don't know that i'll be ripped with muscles someday ;)
These two girls at work, who by the way can' wait for the weight watchers program at work in October to start, all they talk about first thing is what they ate over the weekend. I think I may have pissed them off when I said that is great I weighed in at 112 :) They always say how they are proud of me and my willpower and how I can resist everything but I don't know if they really mean it or not.
My favorite comment so far though is the one Martha just posted So you look like 1 foot taller
Oh and Laurie, I'll always be a pear in my mind, especially if I don't keep my hand out of the bread basket
