I will post pics, vids whatever of my progress....I ask am I crazy for 20 weeks of dieting? Maybe but I love it and cant wait for this journey with my hubby by my side cheering me on # TeamConn

Competition Prep on the rise!

So I am working with Zoa again my coach from the 1st go! Hooray! I am excited for year 2 and I plan on doing both shows this year which are about 3 months apart such excitement. Hubby is on board most definitnely for this year and then after that we want to plan for our extended family..shhhhh but I am focused on the here and now... so happy for contest season again but then I think wow off season was only about 4 months but then I have about 5-6 months of prep for the first show in June... my energy is up and the movation is higher than ever... So basically i need to be good on christmas not because of dieting but because I need to start weening myself of these things but if not thats fine too because when its time to be focused I will be.... tommorow (friday) is when I have my fitness test! I hope to improve on the run time and meet my goal of 10:24 i have someone from my unit running with me as a motivative thing so I can push a little further we shall see..either way just wanna get it over with so I can move on...hubby gets here Sunday and I am so excited...I really really miss him..at the Christmas party I got kind of side because he left but I know it was a short period I just had missed his smiling face ...so hitting the spa sunday morning and picking him up sunday night...Saturday I will be chilling not too much...hopefully not too sore from pt test....anyway I will let yall know how it turns out... this morning having some protein pancakes with egg whites...so amazing! I have not exercised for 3 days period, i think my body just hit a wall and couldnt take it anymore...so friday I test then start back saturday with some cardio depending on how I feel but I love spin class so much fun!

To Bikini, Figure or Physique or not....??

Hay yall,

going into the new year 30 days left ...wow and I am thinking about what next year brings...

first off after the new year literally 3 days later I will be going to Austraila with the hubs....saved our pennies and we are going down under! I am so excited..our true honeymoon as we never really got one and it will be an experience for both of us while we can before the babies come *wink*.

then competiton season with dieting begining in April for the Okinawa June Show, unfortuntunately they only have 2 divisons for women b/c of the amount of competitors so it will be BB and figure... I thought about trying my hand in figure but we shall see... there is also a show on Guam and Japan I am considering but playing it by ear as me and the hubs figure out how things are going to work. I like figure, it shows a lady with a nicer softer side yet some muscles but not too hard. I like BB too dedicated women to build their size and definition and shape and no heels of course just pure beast! Then their is bikini toned definiteion, sort of model type deal which I like too.

I picked 3 from each division that I see myself as.. from figure I see myself as Gloria Keplinger , I am draw to her just because she has similar body type height etc... and I really like her as well, but there are so many others I could name she just stood out in my mind...

For BB, dont have a specific one, I like all of them but my first show was bb chose it just to see what it was like. I like Zoa, she was my coach but she is very sweet person, caring and really love thes the sport...i dont think i would have felt comfortable doing it if she hadnt pushed me..

For bikini..I like Noy Alexander, Nathalia Melo... I dont know much about the sport but just curious if I like it...

Physique its very new sport to me, but I like that one too...

Just some thoughts, i will go wherever the wind takes me, there is some time and ways away , the sky is the limit but this does cross my mind as I see up and coming pro's , amateurs ...vets and they have the happiness in their eyes when on stage and I am wondering what division would give me that natural ability to be, to feel like its one of the greatest things in the world...we shall see..

to BB, bikini figure or physique... that is the question...

Dusting off the Blog!

Wow been awhile, hope I still got followers! If not oh well...gain some new ones right.. been almost 12 weeks post show! Things have been good, not too many ups and down. I am getting a routine and learning to stay at my off season weight and have some cheats in moderation without the guilt. I am also looking to make improvements which I feel have been making significantly since training on my own and learning/understanding how to make gains by research/advice from more experience competitors in my field... I have not measured any of my gains, I am not sure why.. I need to though...just trying to stay on track with the dieting... but these holidays coming wooowhee..barley made it through Turkey Day but I managed to drink more than eat not sure if that is a good thing...got to hang with some great peeps, hubby not here, he is on leave well was..but now he is officially training for the next 2 weeks...I can not wait till he gets back...my sleep has been terrible, dog on my last nerves it just is exhausting...tommrow start back eating clean clean..at least until my PT test, no cheats...wonder how that is going to go or at least very little cheat..I can do it..done it , it takes alot of courage and patience to diet I will tell yall that...nothing was easy especially when it came to that but your body will tell on you! especially when compared to others...ahh well..

Here is some pics I had today, some exercising with the dog, food and all that great stuff...next entry I am going to talk about different divisions, i been debating on testing the waters of all but then how long is this going to last...we shall see...

Soreness...

Hey yall...

Sore 2 days after a leg workout ...interesting and then my back starting being sore too....why does this have to suprise me when I first wake up..?? Having a great dream, I open my eyes lift my leg....ahhhh sheeettt ok fine...just a leg... bend my arm..ahhh my back.... well its one of those days....but I normally stretch/meditate on Sundays so fortunate for today....

Planning to go to a resort for today, getting some sun at the pool, very excited and my hubby will come out too..normally not a beach guy but this is kind of by force just because he dont know how to relax...a workaholic if you will but I hope to show him the beautiful island we live on...instead of a marathon of xbox lol.... but i look forward too it...

Not much to report, had some drinks last night at a going away and just had too too muc so the scale will not rat me out but my body kind of will but once i lose the water should be ok.....the funy thing is alcohol really doesnt do what it did before and I feel kind of like its pointless to have as much as I did when i was younger... not because of the life change but because of the fact I get hungover as hell off 2 drinks... oh well cheap date...

Anyway going to make my egg whites and oatmeal

Leg Day and Road Rage

Hey yall,

just got done with legs and feeling nauseous as hell...dayum near puked at the gym....good stuff! I have not felt that way really since my personal trainer Anne and she wanted to break my little tail and she did repeatedly! Well I broke my own self this morning , and it felt so good but its hard to hid your "green" face of feeling a bit sick from people so I got the "side eye" from a few folks but I managed to escape with my stomach in tact! WOOOO WEEEE... its done and I should have known better when I did 2 laps around the track with sprints on bleachers to warm up....i clearly was smoking crack

but its done i survived and i now i can crawl in the corner and die! well clean the house first then die!

I confess to have a serious case of road rage, i dont know about yall but I am once of those crazy drivers cussing people out when i know they cant hear me....I am sure they have a straight jacket for those "folks" however I still am able to run free lol....but I just have a problem with folks driving like either they in a hurry, no turn signal with lane switching or just flat out jackasses like nobody else is on the road... very frustrating not to mention small roads in japan so there is really nowhere else to go! No shortcuts nothing....ok WOOOSAHHH...see??? lol I clearly have issues hahaha...

Hopefully some of yall feel my pain or you may be one of the drivers I get frustrated with....I dunno but I just woosah and keep it moving....
