GETTING CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!

I was up this morning at 5am for one HOUR of cardio on the elliptical. Check!!
I'm tired, but I'm going to take a nap here pretty soon. (Yep, almost 10am and I'm due for a nap!)
I'm heading to pick up my pretty sequinced top that I'm wearing for my routine. Sooo excited!!!
I have to lift around noon, then work until 7pm, then finish up with 45 min. of incline walking. Sa-weet.
Ohh, I have to go pick up a few groceries, too.....shocker. Got my dry-out diet. Dang, lots of Tuna & asparagas. I mean A L.O.T. I better look GOOOOOOOOOD on Sat.! :) :) :)
Thank you all for your nice comments about my routine. That was the first "real" run-thru, making sure everything transitioned nicely. Now that I know it does, I can really put some FLAVA in it! :) :) Just wait........
Thanks again for all the support. ***I love it, my Mimi & Papa in Arizona, they always send me the nicest emails about how they love reading my blog, but she has to preface every email with something along the lines of how crazy or nuts it is..... :) :) :) ***
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope everyone is well~

1 week ta goooooo

Good-Great--Grand!!!!!!

Note to self: Don't take breathing thru your nose for granted. It makes sleeping sooooo much easier! :) :) :)

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhh, I'm feeling so good. Later this week I plan on feeling GREAT, then of course next week, primarily Friday & Saturday, I intend on feeling GRAND!!!!! :) :) :)
I'm so stinkin excited! Really, I am-- I just cannot wait to compete again. Against myself mostly, I know I can bring a MUCH better 'total package' if you will--and I know what the heck I'm actually doing this time, so I will be prepared! :)
Also, last time we stayed with family and this time we're at a hotel, so I can literally have my stuff out everywhere.......lounge around....cook & eat food all day....Smell like tanning solution......practice posing!
That's it for now! Finish up at work, then home for a Schwetty's workout.

CALL ME BETTY!

Betty Crocker is in the building! More on that in a min.

So, as of my last update Thursday, I was feeling sort of tired. Well, continue on a couple more days, i'm FINALLY feeling closer to 100%. I had an adjustment on Friday for a locked up right SI Joint most likely from the toetouches & splits......anywho, I was a little "nasally & congested" and my Chiro, who had an old college roommate who competed in bodybuilding, talked to me about the fact that I'm asking a lot of my body....It was a really good chat, all of which I truly appreciate. I, therefore, took TWO, yes, I repeat TWO FULL DAYS OFF...............I almost went stir crazy :) but I'm grateful for the chat and where I am now, having given myself some due rest time. :)

Alright, back to betty crocker::::
Our house smells LIKE heaven right now!!! I just finished my yams with cinnamon, chicken with Mrs. dash hot & spicy in one pan and garlic & herb in the other pan. I'm am ready for the week!
Needless to say, I didn't get my routine recorded. I fall alseep each night rehersing it in my head, and that's gotta count for something! :)
Off to tackle the rest of the day~ Have a good one & BEST HEALTH to each of you.
LOVE~

HEY YO

Thank goodness for cable in Schwetty's. I JAM out to channel 904, 916 & 917 ALLLLL morning. My cardio is upped to an hour in the morning and either routine practice or 35-45 min. cardio program in the evening. I'm only lifting 3-4 times a day, During the day, when I can. YOWZA!!!!!!!!!! That's why so many changes still happen in the last 3 weeks! :) Because that's when it starts getting c.R.a.Z.y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it!!!!!!! I'm still putting my routine outfit together. it's gonna be cute. I'm soo stinkin' frugal & thrifty. NO WAY would I shell out money for someone to make me one. (That is, unless miss cheese koksal wants to in the future!)
Seriously, so of these suit designers make routine outfits too, but only if you want to pay: Baseline: $200. Give. Me. A. BREAK.
I'll post pix when it's all ready!!!!!!
I've gotta get back to work. I'm finding time to multi-task. Life is about to get allllllll sorts of busy for me, but BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!! Supper is in the oven, the hubs just has to turn it on when he gets home. THEN, I'm done at 7pm, home for cardio, and dinner by twenty to 8. ROCK OUT
LOVE LOVE LOVE~
