Greatness that is.....

So, thanks to Jodi@fitweardesigns I will have a new posing suit, in addition to my new evening suit. She is a doll. After viewing my progress in my blog, she insisted I get a new one, claiming as others have that my suit is too big in the butt! LMAO! I know it is.......

If you all need a suit, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Jodi!

Booked my plane tickets to NYC today, so I am officially all set to go!

With so much excitement in my day, I then went to the gym and had the most killer workout on back and tris! After a rather lethargic leg day yesterday, it felt so good to feel strong today. Wishing you all the kind of day I had today!

And to update my diet....cheats are officially gone and cardio is getting to an insane amount! Game on!

Determined to get to bed at a reasonable time tonight! Back to work on Monday

[mo.]

Well.....summertime is officially over for me tomorrow. Back to teaching....

I spent most of today trying to figure out how I am going to fit it all in. Since my gym doesn't open until 5am, I will have to do cardio at home for 1 hour and then head over to the gym for another hour of cardio. I have to get the kids on the bus at 7am and then leave from there for work. I'll get home by 3:3o, but kid care doesn't open until 4pm, so my workout will need to be very efficient, because I have to get the kids home, fed and ready for football by 5:40. Practice is from 6-8pm four days a week, with karate on the one day there is not practice. Nights will be for grading papers, planning, etc. Saturday mornings will be spent on the football fields. Sundays I get all the meals for the week cooked. I told my husband that I will see him sometime in late September.

Another test of my strength.....game on! I am so focused and ready to do this! After all, you can do anything for 5 weeks, right? I will.

I had a talk with the family over dinner tonight, apologizing ahead of time for the insanity they are about to witness. They are all so great and are on board to help out during the final stages of my prep.

Wish me luck! Need to get my rest for sure.......

Thanks! I am trying......

Go...go...go....until I can't go no more!

Honestly, I am slowing down. Feeling it big today. Crazy week, with school starting and getting the kids acclimated to a new schedule, as well as myself. I think I was actually sleeping during the first hour of cardio this morning and did legs today with little energy. Weights decreased and required more rest between sets, but finished Going to sleep right now! Need it bad.

Attached are today's pics......

Had a MUCH better day today than yesterday. Still feeling a bit sluggish, but I think that is to be expected considering my chaotic schedule, cardio and training.

Trained shoulders today and am still seeing a decrease in weight, but trying to make up for it in drop sets. Still felt the need for longer rests between sets, but overall had a good training session. Beginning to see big differences and new veins appearing daily Gotta love the veins. My spirits are high and I am mentally strong.

Getting posing coaching Friday and going to a posing clinic next weekend.

4 1/2 weeks to go

Sorry for the long post

Please don't apologize.

Baseball, basketball, NASCAR, etc. all get page after page of text on the "heroes" of those sports while bodybuilding is ignored, so these forums serve as our Sports Illustrated.

Great to read your story! Wishing you and your family continued success!

You look fantastic for 4.5 weeks out. Your booty is already in!

Jodie is the BEST, she did my last suits.

SWEET looking back, sista!

yeah my summer ended Aug 10th....we started Aug 24th, when is/was your 1st day?

ROCK the STAGE!

OK..... so I have not posted in what seems like ages. I apologize for anyone that had been following along. All is well, I just do not have ANY spare time these days.

Getting a new school year off and running is quite time consuming. As a gifted education specialist I am in charge of all of the testing at the school, as well as the scoring of them. This is in addition to working with students. I am also heading 3 committees at school and have had to get those underway.

I am at the gym between 3 1/2 - 4 hours a day and the rest is spent juggling the schedules of my children between football, baseball and karate. Adjusting to the new school schedule has been a shock to the family, but we are all going fine.

I imagine it will only get worse before it gets better, but like always, it will all work out in the end. So forgive me for leaving you hanging! I will be on stage in NYC in less than 3 weeks!

It may be until then that I can post again! Good luck to all of you!

I'm here! Have no fear!!! Girl, I am so busy I don't know which direction I am going!!! I keep asking my husband whose idea it was to have 3 kids and neither one of us want to take the blame

Thanks for checking in on me
