Today is the LAST day of my overall workout before heading to Jersey tomorrow for OCB BATTLE OF THE BELT.... I can't wait!!! I'm excited, nervous, but ready to get this thing done. I worked very hard and no matter how I come out.. I already know I'VE WON!!!
I feel amazing with plenty of energy today. Cardio should be a breeze.... I will do some isolated exercises this afternoon, eat and definitely try to hit the sack early to be well rested in the a.m.
I'm 145 pounds, 27 inch waistline and 36 inch hips. I'm still drinking plenty of water and eating all my meals as instructed. This was really an eye opener in so many ways. I need to stay close to gaining no more than 15 pounds during off season. Then next year it won't be an uphill battle to get stage ready....
Much luv, Joe.

Up early 100 abs... Today I get 130 protein but 170 carbs (wooo hooo) 35 fat. This will be a beautiful EATING day if nothing else.. LOL I see nuts and more than a sprinkle of rice in meals to come.
Did BACK and BICEPS yesterday. All water, cardio and meals accordingly. I was having some dizzy spells which after eating a little more carbs did the trick. Low carbs is no joke especially when the workday consist of various projects which require you to be on your feet.
Today I will get my LAST full body workout with trainer. Will lower my training days to 4-6 times a month for off season. Yes, there's a life peeking filled with dinner, dancing and movie dates :-) At least until later this year for I would like to compete early next Spring.
Overall energy level is decent this morning. No headaches, hunger pains, dizziness, etc. I feel more normal and I'm sure its because I'm pump'n up the carbs! After just my 1st meal I felt bigger and fuller... lol Funny I was craving nuts as if I was part squirrel. Ate a few after arriving to work and they just didn't do it. I need dark chocolate :-)
Competition days are winding down now.. The 25th marks the last show for me this year. It was an AMAZING journey that I surely will never forget. Sort of a bitter sweet ending for I'm tired but not ready to sit down just yet. Joe, I can't begin to thank you enough for such a HARD but proven effective method to prepare me for each show. Next year I plan to come back tighter/leaner and hopefully that much better to compete in early Spring shows. Then I'll see about the Summer afterwards. I will be contacting you for an offseason plan and see about checking in with you like once a month or every 3 months. So in other words THIS IS NOT THE END :-)

Blogging for sanity at this point...
Up and hit 100 abs... Can't move without potty runs constantly being made. I had some close calls in my commute home from work and vice versa.. Not nice :-(
Banged out LEGS last night. Was pretty good even though I'm weak made it through. Felt average after finishing and hit cardio arc trainer for an additional 20 minutes that I didn't belt out earlier in the day.
Body looks hard and flat as predicted. I actually see more separation now then during last showtime. Will this be me come Saturday possibly hard look'n but full?
Either way this is it and I hope I do ya proud but I know my legs aren't hard enough and that's where my work will be placed on off season mostly.

Up and did my abs.
Scale actually lighten up a pound or so. Getting water down, exercising and doing my cardio as instructed.
7 days out and I'm struggling... I just need to stay focused and try to make it til next Friday. Another Hoaggie with the works have me smile'n hard inside.
Body looks different and bloated to me. Can't really explain but don't look as full. I guess I'm suppose to look flat again huh?
Did Biceps/Chest and then cardio with Vee, last night. Good workout but feeling jive weak now. Just put a slice of banana nut bread in my pie hole already! Ok, ok, then some nuts.. "ONE" nut... sigh
I guess this is the leanest I'll be for the 25th. It is what it is at this point.

8 days til OCB Battle of the Belts in Jersey
Ok, up this morning and only belted out 100 abs. Body is nice and tired now. Last night's workout was Legs but he touched my back and delts too. Feeling fatigued and achy at this point. I pushed through the exercises which he made some lighter just higher reps. All of it hurts now. I so need to get to next Saturday hopefully a little leaner and be done for the year..
Appetite is huge as always but food starting to make me feel ill after consumed. Must be my body aboput to reject until it get that "sugar" fix. At this point it could be a few extra nuts.. Just anything without weighing or counting :-( Water intake is about to float me away.....
Overall my strength is weakening somewhat and its due to the low carbs I'm sure.
My weight apparently is going UP UP UP from the water intake. Can't be much of anything else even though I did down a few pickles and my mustard yesteday. I'm like 6 pounds heavier.
Well, I certainly hope I'm not the FAT GURL on stage this time. Doing weights, cardio sessions and posing practice. Trying to look leaner in the ab area since the legs aren't deeply in yet.
Signed
I dunno at this point :-(

Up and mixed up 200 ab exercises to get me started.
Yesterday knocked out cardio and did BACK & DELTS/SHOULDERS. Felt as if I never had Saturday and Sunday off. Everything was tight and hurting again. Got a freebie from a trainer that stretched me out..
Today I'll hit LEGS with trainer. Basically he does all over but targets legs more.
Sleeping very well and feel strong. I just want to be even better than my 1st show. I thank God for my blessings thus far and those to come. I just can't seem to get my lower stomach to flatten out these days. In the past I never ever had any issues but now...hmmmmm Just looks fat to me :-(

WOW, what a journey is all I'm saying. Still feeling the weight of my very 1st Competition. I placed 1st in the Women BB Open and 2nd in the Women BB 35+ divisions. I'm very proud that I was able to make it to the stage alone. The feet are damp now and I'm ready to move forward with the upcoming Jersey, OCB Battle of the Belts Comp which is 10 days away.. YAY!!!
I really had a GREAT time and the experience was priceless.
Hit gym yesterday (Monday, 13th) and did my upper shoulders/triceps and then high intensity cardio.
Up early this morning and hit abs.
Have back this evening and will knock out another round of high intensity cardio during lunch hour today.
There is a TIGHTER me, waiting on the inside I just know it is!!!

4 DAYS OUT AND COUNTING!
Up and banged out abs along with some pushups and planks.
Yesterday's workout was good. Did my own thing, high reps low weights which was good. Didn't feel over stretched and was able to hop on bike and unload the cardio.
My body feels good and surprisingly I'm not as fatigue as I thought I would be. Still want stuff that's never going to change. However, its like fading slowly but surely now or should I say getting more tolerable knowing that I can't have it.
All this water is about to float me away. Felt sick lastnight after drinking last 6 oz or so. Thought it was all coming back up but luckly nothing. No tums just showered and laid down. That took care of it and then came the potty runs... all throughout the night. sigh
After today I go from 90 to 170 carbs...!!! I MIGHT LOSE MY DAM MIND on this one!!! LOLOLOL
Body is definitely looking flat at this stage with the droopy skin thing going on that I can't wait to FILL BACK OUT!!!
Signed
I NEVER KNEW LUV LIKE THIS BEFORE!!!! ;-)

August 6, 2012
Today up and did my 200+ abs... Laid on the floor stretched out longer than I normally do. Just needed to regroup and think about my next move. "TO GET THE HECK UP.." LOL
Leg this evening. Training myself since its on a Monday. :-(
Well, I'm proud to say I made it through my 75 carb day and now have graduated on to 90 carb days if you think that's an improvement. What's an ounce of sweet potatoes. I'll take that over a sprinkle of rice hahaha. I'm feeling some what tired but not as I expected. My thoughts are slipping making me feel like I'm losing it here and there. But all in all I'm good. I stay hungry, so that's no surprise and all this water.. Well, if I wasn't in the bathroom most of my day I might can actually get some work done...
Body steadily changing each night really. I've lost exactly a pound in weight plus for an extra bonus .5 inch off my hips and the nerve to have lost dam near an inch from in my chest (nooooooooooooo). Its just like you stated Joe, the body looks so lean but flat. No complaints here whatsoever. Ran yesterday only did 3 quick miles as I pushed my grandson in his stroller watching him down that beautiful sweet banana...hahaha Did a mile of wind sprints as well.

That REESE CUP & HOAGIE only have 5 more days before I can CRUSH IT!!!

Up and knocked out 200+ abs.
Feeling blonde here lately. Not myself at all.. These low carb days have me feeling delayed especially since no gum or mints are allowed either. Fading in weight and strength somewhat. Not feeling tired but more so just craving stuff and since I can't have it (just like a kid) I go around pouting. People avoid me please because today isn't the day. I have 4 more days of this too... Even the pooch stare at me funny knowing I have a tude.. LOL
Trained entire body yesterday with Trainer. Very good but very hard hard hard workout. Might be due to strength decline a bit but I pushed through as always. People admiring my physique but aren't willing to put in the time or dedication to achieve it. I accomplished the look that's for sure... Will be so much nicer come the 25th too! The DAYTONA BEACH BOUND!!!
Right now I just feel like KICK'N SOME ROCKS... *arms folded*

HAPPY "AUGUST"
8/2/2012
Up knocked out 200 various abs. Surprisingly, not tired at all "YET" lol. Even with the cardio in place I'm managing to stay above water.
Yesterday's workout was different. Trainer surprised me with a full body workout instead of just legs. I love those types of workouts and it gave my legs an additional break. Now tonight I can't say what's the deal but I know the legs will be punished. *biting nails*
Things are shaping up and my body is surprising me on a regular now. I see something different just about every day I peer in the mirror. WOW wow WOOOWEEE is all I'm saying :-) Separation and striations are on the rise!!!
No more gum/mints just food and water at this point. *blank stare*
