Hello!
Today the alarm went off at 5:00...i got out of bed at 5:19....i only hit the snooze 2xs...not too bad for a monday ;) Did 32 minutes of cardio and came up and had my oats and prunes and coffee and got ready to hit the gym. Leg day! And i really pushed them...i hope not too hard though....but i was very wobbly by the end....so we shall see. I have been doing my deadlifts off the bench to try and get more of a hamstring stretch going....which in turn is what is probably making my legs hurt. LOL!!
At lunch i did the fire exit stairs for 15 minutes. Up and down 10 flights about 3 or 4 times....not sure if this was a good idea doing it on leg day, but i have to try and do the stairs maybe 3xs a week if possible....and it also keeps me from going out at lunch time and spending money ;)
Speaking of spending money......i booked my flight today for the show!!!!! WOW! This makes it really real..and time is a tickin.....40 days.....im getting a little concerned about not being ready....but as April told me....its a chance to hang out, have fun, and then have a wonderfully bad breakfast together on sunday :)
The good thing is that i have my iphone now and we can do video and pics and send them hopefully to blogger for all to see :) I will have to do a test before hand to see if it works!
Diet will be changed at 5 weeks and then once i hit 3 weeks, pics and diet will be changed weekly! Im liking this diet right now.....so hopefully it wont get too bad...we shall see.
I of course, have so many bad thoughts going through my head about not being ready....one of them is that this show is also a pro show....and two girls that i really look up to are doing this show and i really want to meet them and i dont want them to look at me and say "is she really getting up there looking like that?"
This is how i think!!!!
Anyway.....i will try and stay positive through the rest of this journey.....i have to realize that if i stay focused and just look at this show as a step toward a better me next year, then i can cope...but i want to look like i belong up there....that is all.
Hopefully make-up and tan will do wonders ;)

You'll be ready. By three weeks out you won't believe how lean and cut you'll look. I'm amazed at how much I've leaned down in just a couple of weeks. People are starting to notice too. They say, "You're getting ripped." Which makes me feel better about getting up there on stage. If they are noticing that's a good thing because for so long I felt like nothing was changing, physically anyway. So keep pushing hard, as time grows closer you will see a difference.
:) Yayyyyyyyyyyyy Angela :) exciting stuff :)
Hey Lovely!!
I think the SAME WAY about things! I would not want to meet my fav pros looking like poo, either - it's completely natural. Anyway, I think now that you have booked your tickets and you're half way through the diet, you will know you need to pick it up a notch. I know you can do it!!
And April is totally right, it's a time to hang out with friends and make the kind of memories life is supposed to be made of, if nothing else.
I cant wait to see pics!
PS. I like the stairs idea. I have a desk job too and it's getting to me I SWEAR...my butt is growing to the seat some days! UGH! I am going to have to start doing the stairs too!
You'll be fine. It's just a head thing.
Once you learn to get on top of the feelings, you'll be so much more of an athlete, because you'll be able to control things, that occasionally knock you of course a little bit, so you'll almsot always stay straight and true, on the path you want to be on with competing.
Good luck and no worries okay.
:-) :-).

You just keep doing what you're doing and BELIEVE and you will be ready!
