If you want it - work for it. Go the extra mile, make the effort, make it count. Work...because wishing will not bring winning!

Wednesday-108 days left
See? Soon the days will be in the single digits! So far to go body wise...
Anyway....tuesday and this morning i got up for EMC....still not early enough...yesterday i only got in about 20 min and this morning i only got 17...im trying....i did 40 when i got home too last night...cant forget that :)
Yesterday was shoulders, today was back.
I dont think im going to go to that party on saturday. Honestly, its too much work...LOL! And then to have to worry about food, etc....im better off not going...so adam said he is going to just stop there and then i will be with angelica until he gets home.
So what i have been thinking about is this....that fire...desire, whatever it is that drives you to do something. Where does it come from? What happens inside you that makes you want something so badly? That nothing can stop you, that no one can get in your way? That winning attitude, that focus, the strength?
Athletes have it....maybe it has something to do with sports....if you played sports in high school or college.. you have teammates and coaches, pushing you, people in the stands rooting for you. But what if you are like me? Someone who never played sports, never really competed in anything. You were just a normal person trying to do something so out of the ordinary..something that not many people want to do, or can do??? Something that some people think that you are crazy to do. So do you just have to continually repeat it to yourself that you can do this? That you are special? That you can do anything! That you are a winner!!!
I find it facinating...and i want the secret :) I have watched "the sport of figure" over and over. Ava had said in one part (and im paraphrasing) that people would tell her that she couldn't do it and she wanted to prove them wrong! Yeah, for the most part, i want to do that too...but to have that FORCE and FIRE to back it up...that is what is important and what is needed.
Some days i have it....some days i dont. I guess that happens with a lot of people but how do you say "this is it" this is what i want more than anything in the whole wide world!!!
Just a thought ;)

Monday-110 days to go
Well its monday already!
Saturday was 16 weeks out and i had to send pics my trainer...they were bad...i knew they were going to be and its funny because usually i take 1000 pics trying to get the right lighting, making sure my hair looks ok, the suit is ok, etc....i took 4 pics...front, side, side, back...didn't care what they looked like and sent them off. He must be like "what the hell has she been doing? but hey, its easy money right?" Im sure a lot of these trainers love the fact that you aren't following what they say and just continue to pay them.
Anyway...so i decided to stop wasting my money and to do it right.
I got my new meal plan last night so i have to prep tonight and start tomorrow. I hate starting on a tuesday, but i didn't have enough time to have everything ready for today...especially with True Blood on from 9-10 last night...and on that side note....the show is so freaking good this season!!! I love it!!!!!
But i did the timeline for my meals and workouts....its very, very, planned out and specific....and i really need to plan to do this right.
Yes its going to be a pain in the butt, but im sure that if its done the way it should be, then it will work out great! I just have to stick with it.
Im not a great organized person. And i have all the time in the world really. I have no kids, and no other outside responsibilities except to visit my family and to keep the house straightened up. I should be the perfect candidate to be able to get it all done. I really need to plan and focus on what needs to be done and stop laying around expecting everything to be all done and ready. I have to grab the bull by the horns as the saying goes ;)
The weekend was good. Nothing exciting really. We went to my sister's on friday night. they ordered pizza which looked and smelled so good and i had a salad with avocado and chicken :) I did have a bite of crust!
Saturday went food shopping and then went to my mom's later for a bit.
Sunday we went to our friend's pool and hung out there and then the sky darkened and it started pouring rain with thunder and lightening and all! So our day ended kinda early.
Next Saturday we have a party to go to...its "Jersey Shore" themed...and we have to get dressed...im trying to figure out what to wear but i want to get one of those bumpits for my hair and puff it all up and wear a lot of bronzer...and i have jan tana too ;) LOL!
so that will be fun!
Today was leg day....no emc for me....i will do some cardio later. I do plan on trying to get up to do cardio every morning this week....there is no reason why i can't right?

Thursday-115 days
Well its thursday already! I missed posting yesterday...things got busy i guess ;) Yesterday was back day. I didn't do cardio when i got up or when i got home either..yes i know, slacker already! Im not going to complain about it, just going to chalk it up to what to do better tomorrow :)
Tonight i have a consult for a cosmetic procedure that i have been contemplating for a while now. I want to find out how much it is because im sure that its going to be way to much money to even consider...but i want to find out. (and no, its not boobs...;i have enough boobs to share) So we shall see what happens tonight :) My appt is at 5:00 so im leaving work at 4:30 today :)
I am so pissed at myself...i was eating a salad with balsalmic on it and i dropped a piece of cucumber and i thought that it only fell on my pants....nope...drizzled all the way down my cute new express shirt :( I hope it doesn't stain...i wet it with soap and water...and now my shirt is all wet but it will dry quickly, i hope (anyway, fingers crossed it doesn't stain)
ooh and i made my own iced coffee today at work :) I took the old morning coffee filled a big cup with ice and ff creamer and splenda and it was yummy :) YAY!!
Today was arms at the gym....oh and i didn't get my ass up this morning either by the way :)
d-bell skull krushers
overhead cable ext
NG pushdowns
weighted bench dips
21's sissy bar
sissy bar curls
suipinated dbell curls
machine preachers
hmmm...what else??? nothing else exciting in my world....i will let you know how the consult goes tomorrow :) And maybe what its for?????

Monday-Back to it (117 days to go)
Well today im back...back to work, back from vacation...back to reality.
I am starting over of sorts....
I want to stop looking back at my past mess ups and focus totally on what is ahead. no more negativity.
Today was legs at the gym.
5 min warm up-elliptical
standing leg curls
lying leg curls
ws dumbell squats
leg extensions
one leg deadlifts
walking lunges
calves
tonight i have cardio and i have to cook. I was lazy yesterday and i didn't cook for the week yet. So tonight i have to cook up my chicken and string beans and rice and broccoli and all that other good stuff to get me through the week!
I did a lot of bad eating last week while on vacation...i know i wasn't going to be good. Especially being around my family....but its all fine and good...its a new beginning (yes i have had many new beginnings but...)
So here we are...day 1 (well its day 117....117 days till KY Muscle)....it will go by quick...i want to make everyday count.
I may take pics (not posting anything yet) but hopefully by the time i get to about 12 weeks out i will have enough balls to post something :)
This is going to be fun....im going to do this, and do it right....i want to be proud of myself again...i want my clothes to fall off me again.....i want to change for the better....
I chose this goal.....i will fight for this.....i know this takes work....and i will work for it....i am not going to just "show up" this time.....i will train, i will focus, i will change for the better....i will fight :)
Lets do this....

Happy Friday :)
Hi :)
Well this week has been crazy! For it being a 4 day work week..the work day has been dragging...especially because im on vacation all next week!!! Im so excited to be doing something! We are going to the Jersey Shore (no, not where all the fist pumpers are ;)...LOL) But Margate, NJ....with my sis and her hubby and the baby...and of course me adam and angelica...my parents are watching the doggie :) And then they are coming down the second half of the week...we are sund-wed, and then my parents are wed-sat. I hope the weather is nice...right now its raining here. But its so humid, i guess its expected.
I know eating is going to suck this week....im going to try and get some sort of physical activity in and im bringing my protein powder with me.
I dont think i will be able to do September show either now...cause im a moose....and then not eating on schedule for another week will really hurt me...so im making a vow to me and to all of my blog buds....150% effort will be taken from when i get home until November....which is KY Muscle....with April...again! And i will be stage ready....i can promise you that! No last place for me ;)
And that is all i have to say about that :)
************
I wanted to also say good luck to Genie and Becca at Team U this weekend!!! I wish i could have been there to cheer you on in person!!!! ((((HUGS)))) Have fun!!!!
