    ugh me too! I was not prepared for the rebound, and didn't realize obssed i'd become with food! Competing changes you! Luckily my body is responding quickly

    Was tired today, could've just laid on the couch ALLLLLL day! Hip feels better and better each day but hurts on and off with certain movements. One of the trainers at Golds who's a pro Natural bb asked me if i'd ever considered bb instead of figure today...lol...i said no thank you. She said i have perfect legs for bb...so i guess that was a compliment : ) Hopefully i have an upperbody to match when it comes time to walk out on that stage! I'm determined to get these dam shoulders to grow!!!! If only I knew all along what I know now! All those years as an athlete in the gym lifting and never doing shoulders!!! Kicking myself in the butt now!

    Well today I experienced something better than sex! I watched the bears game AND burned 1000 cals at the same time! And they won...so today my friends was a goooood day! But anyway, I worked today, yesterday rested. Did an hour walking on a 15%incline level 3.5 speed. I tried running but it still hurts way toooo bad! EF!!! I'm starting to think i'm prob gonna be dealing with this for the whole prep and just have to take time off cardio when my show's over. Weight fluctuates between 125 and 127 daily. My trainer is taking one of my high days away, so wed is my only high day. I get an egg yolk and some blueberries with my 2nd meal and a casein shake before bed.

    Just got home from FUEL, its the youth ministry service I go to on sunday nights! Always feel so refreshed and strengthened after worship!

    No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)

    The usual 40 mins of cardio in the a.m then Back/bi's and another 40mins of cardio tom night. Another day closer...times a flyin!

    Well, bought my plane tickets for florida today...no backing out now!

    Did 40mins on the glider this a.m. Crossramp at level 9 and resistance level 9 then some abs
    Trained back and bi's tonight and another 40mins of cardio
    Back: Widegripped pull-ups 10,6,5
    SSw/assisted pullups3x12 and back extensions3x15
    Reverse grip pulldowns90x12,100x8,90x8,100x6 (went too heavy on the first set and screwed me up. Was supposed to be 10-8-8-6)
    Seated-rows 10-8-8-6, 90lbs,100lbs,110lbs
    Single Armed Rows 50lbsx10,55lbsx8x2,60lbsx6

    bi's:CB curls 45lbsx10,50lbsx8x2,55lbsx6
    Alternating DB Curls 25lbsx10x2
    Seated machine curls 35lbsx10x2
    My Bi's felt really weak today for some reason, didn't get a very good workout in at all on them! I think i might try training them on a dif. day. My wrists kept giving out when i was doing my alternating DB curls and I couldn't hold ontop them. My forearms were so tight!

    Weight today was 126. My legs are really starting to come out, more than last time I dieted. I've been working on my front pose alot. I think i'm gettin it down. I've been trying too hard. It looks much better when I just relax. Well time to study for a test i'm prob gonna fail tom. Chest and tri's tom.

    Woke up this a.m extremely sore! Felt like hell warmed over! My bi's and forearms were really tight and tender. Not sure why. Wear and tear i suppose. Did 20mins on the stair mill at level 10 and 20 mins on the archtrainer level 30 resistance level 10incline.

    Trained chest and tri's tonight:
    Pushups to fatigue to warm up
    Flat DB Fly's 25x10,27.5x8x2,30x6
    Incline DB Press 30x10,35x8x2(arms and wrists extremely fatigued. Usually press 40's for 6 but could barely finish my 8's)
    Chest Press 50x10,60x8x2,65x6
    Tri's: Tricep Roap extensions 55x12,60x10,65x8
    SSw/assisted dips 12,10,8
    Tricep Pushdowns 90x10,70x8x2 (again, arms fatigued, couldn't get my usual reps or weight in)

    EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!!!

    Tom. i will do a little legs and just 50-60mins of cardio. Give my upperbody a break and hit shoulders hard on thursday. Might train bi's thursday morning after cardio and do shoulders thursday night before cardio. I didn't get a very good workout on them yesterday. Just pump em up maybe do some high rep stuff. We'll see. Weight today 125. Friday will be 8 weeks. Almost half way!

    Oh yeah almost forgot Cardio tonight was 40 mins. 5 min warm-up then 30 mins of intervals on the glider. The interval setting. The crossramp changed every 60secs from 4 to 10 and I went as fast as i could for 30 sec then steady pace for 30 secs. I had a small pond of sweat underneath me if that tells you anything. Was pretty intense! Finished with 5 mins of walking on the treadmill at 15%incline speed 3

    Good luck to you! You look great in those pics... and you still have how many weeks left? Looks like you're totally on the right track! Keep it up!

    Well, at work today til 7pm. Super bored....but feeling really good as far as diet goes. Little sore today. I did DL yesterday and it irritated my hip but other than that things are coming along well i think. I'll be sending pics to my trainer at the end of next week.

    Back yesterday: Wide-gripped pullups 3sets to failure 10,7,6
    SSw/weighted back extensions 25lbsx15x12x10
    Bentover BB rows 65x10,75x8,85x8,90x6
    Lat-pulldowns 80x10,90x8x2,100x6
    DL 100x10,110x8x2,120x6
    Seated Rows 80x10,90x8x2,100x6

    Did some walking lunges, 3 sets of 21's for my bi's and 3sets of 15 tricep ext. w/roap. Abs and 45 mins of cardio.

    STILL 125!!!!!!!!!! Better at least lose a lb this week or i'm gonna get pissy! Not that weight really matters because its how you look for figure...and although I am on track...that stupid scale still plays with my head! My trainer can't see me since we are doing it over the phone and thru email so she just wants to know my weight, but pics take away so much defenition!!! Anywho....better get back to work before I lose my job lol. have a blessed day everyone!!

    Legs and an hour of Cardio tonight. I worked until 7 so got to the gym around 730.
    Legs: Leg extensions 15lbsx20x3
    Leg Curls: 60lbsx15x3
    Walking lunges length of gym down and back nonstopx2
    Lying Leg curls:60lbsx12x5
    Everyrep SSw/25-50 abs

    I was supposed to have a high day today, but since I had my cheat meal on saturday I didn't do my high day. I'm supposed to be doing 80mins of cardio 4 days and 60 mins 2 days but I've been doing extra. My arms looked HUGE yesterday because of the carb load i had saturday night! I really don't want my arms to get any bigger, so i'm gonna start doing low weight high rep on every thing for bi's and tri's. i had another competitor/trainer look at me yesterday and she couldn't believe how much muscle i have put on since my last show. i guess i'm just a genetic freak? working my butt off prob has a lil something to do with it tho too. Today the girls at work were trying to get me to take my clothes off and show them my muscles in an empty patient's room....but i refused. As if this sport isn't vain enough, i'm not about to go striking poses and flashing people at work. they wanna see me, they can come to a show!!! Well its way past my bedtime....cardio in the a.m, class tom. afternoon,back and more cardio, then Bible study with the ladies tom. night! busy busy busy!
