July 30, 2012

After this week, I'll be Exactly 1 week out until my FIRST show.  Purchased my suits and shout outs to Anne for doing a WONDERFUL job with them.  Just beautiful...

Up this morning and did 200+ ab work.  Today is upper shoulders and delts.  Will go a tad bit harder with the workouts.  Next week workouts should and will be more lighter.  My entire body is fatigued at this point.  It hurts to smile...  My legs did come in a little more but hopefully by the 25th they'll be nice and CRISPIER for that will be my peak show!!!

Ok, excited and scared at the same time...

Lets do this!

Almost 2 weeks out from 1st OCB show...

July 26, 2012

Up and did the usual over 200 ab exercises.  Plus put a few planks in the mix.

Worked legs last night and survived.  Had me on smith machine doing reverse lunges with knee tucks at the top.  I didn't think my body could burn so bad.  He added a few back exercises to sweeten the pot if that's what he meant to do.  All those leg presses, leg ext, hamstring curls, etc.  I was out of energy at the end.  Head hanging low and didn't care who saw me..  Ok, ok, I must admit, I wasn't completely out for I had enough energy to do a little shopping.. LOL  Always energy for that!!!

I just want some oreo ice cream is that so bad!!!!  Ok, ok focusing once again..  I think I'm going to be a machine by the 25th of August.  I guess this body is built better than FORD TOUGH because its definitley do the dam thang!!!

WOW - 3 Weeks out (July 23, 2012)

Up and knocked out 200+ abs...  What a crazy weekend this was.

Didn't do my posing on Friday or regular leg workout this Saturday.  Had so much on my plate had to shuffle some things around.  Did Friday's workout on Saturday and Saturday's Leg workout on Sunday.  Got thumbs up on my legs as they continue to melt showing more and more of the separation and desired cuts.  I actually DO HAVE A HAMSTRING.. LOL  Pump'n out all the cardio and trying to imagine myself on stage.

Energy is still good at this point.  Probably because I'm focusing on so many other things (home life/food/suit/food/stage/chocolate cake/sigh).

I am wanting stuff more and more.  Caved in Saturday and nibbled on my grandbaby's pizza..  Wasn't enough to do much damage but all the same I couldn't control myself :-(  Was about the size you put in a toddler's mouth for tasting.    Had mustard on my salad twice so hopefully that water weight flushes out before or by Friday.

Cardio is getting done and I'm sleeping like a rock here lately.  Dreams and all but still feel like I've had good sleep which is a plus when I awake.

Come on August!!!

July 20, 2012

Well 3 more weeks and its SHOWTIME!!! 

Up and been doing my abs faithfully over 200 a morning.  Sleeping good and overall energy level is decent.  My trainer is really putting the stank on the exercises these days.  I'm lov'n my S on my chest for that's the way I feel in the gym "THANKS VEE!" 

I was a bit nervous still but after visiting Joe, I'm confident once again that things are shaping out the way they're suppose too.   My journey is almost reality to compete in my very FIRST OCB competition this year!!!  By the 25th I should be even tighter and really stomp'n with the BIG DAWGS ...lol

I can't say this was easy for then I would be a liar!  Nothing but hard hard work and I should've been so much better by now but I'm human.  Slipped up and extra nuts and meats even a few cookies hit the lips and feel down my throat.  I paid for each and every one for I slowed down progress and had to fight that much harder to get where I am today.  So, in a nutshell ITS NOT WORTH IT!!! 

Tonight will hit the gym and do upper body before resting and get cracked open tomorrow with LEGS... drats

Lets see what next week holds for me.

I'M ALMOST THERE

July 13, 2012

Up and did over 200 ab exercises... 

Last nights workout was very intensed and good.  Had spotters and put in the work.  Let me say how SORE I am this morning though.  Had to double up yesterday on cardio sessions and will pump last one for this week during lunch hour.  Had to shift around/double up sessions due to having a full weekend schedule.  Cardio must be done for the week no matter what.  No time for slacking now, I'm in FULL THROTTLE BABY!

Weight dropped 5 pounds since Sunday and all from these CHUNKY THIGHS!  I'm excited to know that the diet and hard azz leg routines are paying off!  GO HAMEED (trainer)!!!  My bunz been on fire since last SATURDAY and I don't think they'll ever be the same at this point.. LOL  Hurt to think about getting up or sitting down.  

Today I will just hit posing class and then home to REPEAT cooking of meats/veggies/carbs.  Pack food for Saturday and get ready for 5:30 a.m. LEG workout before hitting the road to see ZEE MAN himself a/k/a "MR JOE" in the flesh.. LOL

RISE AND SHINE!!!  Up and did over 200 ab exercises...  Excited that I get more carbs today.  Definitely sounds like an outdoor cardio day for me.

Last night did LEGS and surprisingly wasn't as weak as I imagined being on my 3rd medium carb day.  Those exercises were hard as heck for legs crush me every single time.  I was sweating on my 2nd set of squats.. *head low*  Oh well, I got it all done and received a HIGH 5 at the end for doing a dam good job.  Those pull-ups and pullovers were murda!!!  I see more separation and the belly of my hamstrings coming out more and more.  This stuff is crazy!!

Energy level is still pretty good, sleeping 5 out of 7 days good and getting all my cardio done.

Tonight I will do my Fridays upper body workout to free up my Friday evening after meeting with posing coach.  Especially since I have 5:30 a.m. LEG workout Saturday morning before hitting the road to Jersey.  I just hope my buns allow me to sit for 4.5 hours.  Whether stop for stretching or not...

July 10, 2012

Hello Tuesday...  What a 4th of July week that was.  I was off for about 5 days and boy was I losing it.  Pickles mustard salt all that stuff is poison to my body.  Just bloats me like a log.

Back on track and plus was able to rest for a few days, so I was fresh to death on Monday.  I went into the gym and lifted feeling strong and good.  Did cardio during lunch hour and knocked out my abs before leaving the house.  I'm doing a little over 200 mixed ab workouts now.  Just wakes me up in the a.m. get the blood moving.

Yesterday the delts and biceps were on blast and burned all the way through my routines. 

Today I get to do some serious BACK action!  Might take a nice jog along the water instead of doing sprints on the treadmill.

Body feel and look good...  I think I FINALLY might have this thing under control.  Hopefully because in 5 short weeks it'll all come together for the stage.  Was excited as I went this past Sunday to ge fitted for 4 suits.  That's right 4...!!!  This isn't the 1st and only time they'll be seeing this CHICK.  No way!!!  Lets see what I can do over the years before I turn 50 ;-)

ITS A NEW DAY/MONTH!!

Up and did the abs.... 

Wasn't able to get Fridays weight in so I did them Sunday. 

Didn't workout Saturday (legs) but that will be made up.  Attended a wedding.  I did get in my cardio (Friday) and started the new LOWER carb regimen as well. 

Today I'll hit my Shoulders/Triceps and do some high cardio.  I'm fading fast and trying to stay focus.  Not the exercises that's bothering me.  I just WANT STUFF SO SO BAD..  Went to a wedding and was able to pass up cake, fried foods and various finger snacks.  Had my food prepacked and people were definitely checking me out!!!  Once asked I told them I eat MY FOOD ONLY along with intense exercise/weight lifting = ME!  :-) 

6 weeks to go before showtime on the 11th of Aug.  Will I make it hmmmmm my fat legs will have to take a serious beatdown....!  Separations are starting to appear slowly but surely, I must admit.  But that cottage cheese on the back is ever so slight but I KNOW ITS THERE!!!! 

Feel'n strong, sexy and satisfied but there's so much work still to be DONE.

Signed
ALMOST isn't good enough!
