IT's fRiDaY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HI GUYS!!!!!! HOPE YOUR WEEK IS WRAPPING UP NICELY!!!!!!!!!!
I am at work, so I gotta make this quick!
I'm THREE weeks out. Holy Goodness! :) :)
I'm taking pix tomorrow for a diet update, and REALLY, it's only 2 more weeks, because the last week is called "peak week" and is different........soooooo, I gotta keep this momentum & keep heading in the right direction!
Fall is such a fun time to be in contest prep. I don't have near the distractions (wait, that's the wrong word: temptations, perhaps) that I have during the summer, esp. at the LAKE!!!!!!!!!
So, I'm finishing strong, well, really, just beginning!!!! :) :)
ALRIGHT, HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE LOVE~

I'll post some pix or video this weekend, so stay tuned!

Fabulousness

My Routine is a winner!!!!!!!!!
As long as I bring it like I plan, I intend on winning the routine round hands down. No, I don't bring any fancy schmany gymnastic moves (although I do a mean front walk over! :) )
But dang it if I won't OWN that stage!!!!!!!! I love my routine, I love my choreographer for her help! I love that I have free access to multiple gyms with mirrors and steroes systems so I can practice practice practice.
I'll upload a clip soon, I promise!!!

Alright, that's my quick update!
ALL IS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Training at 6am, gotta hit the hay~

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!

What a WONDERFUL Weekend!!!!!!! (Well, minus the coug & seahawk loss in football.....my husband is mourning....)

It was a busy one, for sure! I taught my first round of Saturday CARDIO BOOTCAMP!!! I will be doing this every Saturday (unless I'm out of town) at 8, 9, 10 & 11am. I run the class on the hour, and it's basically a circuit style, upper body/lower body/core abs/cardio. The max. for each class is 7 people and it's a BLAST!!!!!
I am working out of Fiona's Body Shop, which is my trainers' personal training studio (where she trains ME!) I love it because it's not a BIG INTIMIDATING CORPORATE setting Gym, which many people don't like. It's really perfect. I love it! :)

I can't believe how close I'm getting! I'm so stinkin excited I could just jump around. No joke! :)

Congrats a hundred times over for my Blog buddy, Cynthia, who JUST recieved her Figure PRO CARD!!!!!!! This is HUGE for anyone in the Fitness/Figure/Bodybuilding World. Pretty much the ultimate goal!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Now, among other things, she can compete for big bucks! :) WAY TO GO VISIONQUESTER!!!!!!

Today I've done my cardio, I meet with my choreographer at noon, then I will lift After work. Feeling great, diet is great. I think April mentioned in her blog she could live on the last 'diet' she's been using. Me too, I'm LOVING this one, so filling, so tasty. It's great. The whole, "I'M DIETING, I SHOULD BE MISERABLE" blah blah blah, really boggles me. I feel MUCH better when I'm at this stage. It's really all in how you THINK about it. I don't even give it a THOUGHT that, oh, I'm on low carbs I shouldn't feel good, or this or that... :)
I FEEL GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GLORY TO GOD!

Alright, I'm done for now~
LOVE YOU ALL~

TURN IT UP CHRIS!

KALIMERA!!!
Since I'm nearing the one month out mark (deep breath) I think it's time to preview the music for you. And by preview I mean all 2 minutes of it. This sucker is gonna be an all out sprint. Holy cow. I'm working with my Choreographer Heather today and I'm soooooo excited! She teaches aerobics & was a dancer for our Arena II Football team here in the Can, so she knows what I'm looking for, style wise!


Anyway, this week has been a FANTASTIC one!! I skipped a cardio on Tuesday, but I'm not fretting. Also, last night I had black beans with my tuna........NOT on the diet, but again.......no fretting here! :) :)

Please feel free to comment on the music. Like I said, you may likey, you may not, but you can't deny you aren't bouncing around in your seat! :) LOVE IT!

XOXO~

Boom chicka boom

Amazing. My music for my 2 min. routine is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
I'm so pumped. I literally can't sit still when I listen to it (can I EVER sit still though......)
My friend from Phat Camp, Megan (Hi, other Megan from Phat Camp!!!) has done a handful of shows & soooooo graciously burned a copy of her music for me, saving me lots of $.
It's def. has almost a cheerleader vibe to it, but also has hip-hop thru-out. It's gonna be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, I'm going to upload it so you all can hear it. Some of you will love it, some of you probably won't love it, but..........it's all good, it's entertainment and that's what I intend to do: Entertain the crowd! They won't be able to sit still in their seats!!!!!!!! :)

Off to the gym......that dang stairmill & I have a date.
LOVE LOVE~
