Haha

Hey bloggies. Sorry about yesterdays rants! Definitely a carb-induced thing haha. Kelly pointed that out and it is So true i was just crabbbbby!!! Yuck. Feeling a little better today because i am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got my hair done and going to get tanned up in about 2 hours! Then I am going to either sit back at home, or go out for a little bit to take my mind off of this. I have most of my stuff ready and waiting to be packed up for tomorrow. I have to be there at 8:45AM, so I am going to be up around 6:30 to get ready. My hair won’t need much done to it, just gotta do makeup and make sure I have all of my stuff!!

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me the past 6 months!! You all have played such a huge part in my journey and I can’t wait to share my experiences tomorrow!!!! Stay tuned!!! I probably won’t be back on here until tomorrow night!

Pet Peeves

I don’t want to be a complainer, but these two pet peeves have been coming up a lot lately and I just thought I would share my opinion.

The first one. Today one of my friends was saying that he started working out again. I told him that’s great and to keep it up! He then responded with “I don’t buy into it. I worked out for 5 months and didn’t see any results. Working out doesn’t do anything.” Most of you probably can imagine how I felt. I told him he obviously isn’t working out properly if he didn’t see any results in 5 months. Even if you don’t change your diet, you should at least see SOMETHING…even a little more muscle or just being stronger, even if there are no physical changes. Grr..

Pet Peeve #2: I get pretty frustrated when people say they are eating healthy, but in fact are not…example…

Person: “I ate a healthy snack today!”
Me: “Oh awesome! What did you have?”
Person: “I had a 100 calorie pack of oreos and a jello!!”

This is a pet peeve of mine only because I feel sorry for people who really believe this is a healthy snack. Yes, this is a better choice than a bag of chips and a snickers, but the food companies make consumers believe they are eating “healthy” by eating a 100 calorie pack of almost-anything-you-can-think-of. This pet peeve isn’t one that makes me angry at the person..it makes me angry at the food companies who market these as health foods. Small snacks? Yes. Healthy foods? NO!!

Anyways enough of that!!! I am 2 days away!! My body is seriously on meltdown…aka…i’m a lean mean machine…energy levels are pretty low but I still got through boxing, a shoulder workout and 30 minutes on the incline today!! I am digging deep and pulling out all the energy I can even though my body is totally desperate for REAL energy. I seriously can’t wait to eat a bowl of oats with my eggs on Sunday morning! Gotta keep it clean, though until the photo shoot, but Monday I am going to probably have a treat…if i feel like it. Tuesday I will be back to my clean eats!! I love healthy food and can’t wait for some brown rice and some fruit!! Ahh miss those.

Ask and you shall receive!

So many of you have asked to see pictures so i took a few. Don’t mind the weird smiles haha but they were seriously impromptu. As in, i just took them and am still in my suit typing 🙂 Yeah im a dork!!

Oh and also don’t mind the tan lines..those will be taken care of soon! 🙂
Picture 1: Abs look better in this one! I had just eaten though, they were popping even more this morning!! yay!!
Enjoy!!! And no worries..i will DEF. let you all know how I did by Saturday night!!!!! Won’t get to eat my cheat meal after the show though, as my photo shoot is moved to Sunday evening. Ahhh 2 more days of workouts/tan/hair/meetings/lowest carbs 🙁 🙁 🙁 Saturday will be here soon enough right?! SLOWEST WEEK EVERRRRRRR.

Short post

I don’t have time for much of a post, but I thought I’d get one in before I go to bed.

Boxing this morning was great as usual. I had a lot of energy(um no idea WHY lol) and then I did back today by itself. I did chin ups(neutral and supinated grip), low rows, lat pulldowns from my knees, straight arm pull downs and one arm rows. Absolutely destroyed it. It felt really good. I love when I get a great back workout. My legs are sore as hell from yesterdays workout. I can’t even remember if I posted or not. My mind is so foggy from this low-carb-ness.

My silly mother sent me a text today and told me “Don’t commit carbocide!!” She cracks me up. I am definitely beat right now. 3 more days of this and then Saturday will be here!

Oh forgot to mention, I am now getting an airbrush tan for the show. Found out that they don’t allow Dream Tan at this show(not sure why??? anyone know???) and its only 80 bucks and the girl will come to the show with me and touch me up as needed. Got waxed today, forgot how much that hurts, but one less thing to worry about. Getting my hair done Friday, then getting tanned, then a meeting for the competition. Saturday morning just gotta touch up the hair, paint my face, bring my supplies and head to the competition. I am rambling now sorry!! Like I said, my brain is foggy, but I’m pushing through. Abs are popping and I am pleased with how I’m looking.

Stay tuned!! Tomorrow: Bi’s/Tri’s, 60-90 min. cardio and posing practice. Then possibly going to the lake if I have the energy for it!

Goodnight!!!!

Bitch Week

Oops I mean peak week!! 😉

Yeah I already warned my friends and family to watch out. I am a little crabby, but who wouldn’t be on 50g of carbs a day! Workout this morning went well despite the lack of food!

Started with 30 min on the Arc Trainer, then did Legs with Dae. It was SUPER intense today, he made my legs feel like they weighed about 652 lbs by the time I was down.(Yes, that exact weight.) And after that, I finished it off with an hour of incline walking.

Besides my competition on Saturday, I have a photo shoot on Friday night!! My old trainers twin brother happens to be an AMAZING photographer and offered to shoot me for free.(How am I so broke with all of this free stuff??????????It’s pathetic.) Going to shop around at lululemon tomorrow for some cute sports bras!! I have some cute black booty shorts that I got over the weekend at another fitness clothing boutique, so I will see what else I should get. Any suggestions??

Got my dream tan in the mail and tried some on on my stomach. I like the color and it seems pretty easy to apply and everything!! Thanks again for everyone’s suggestions on that!!

I am super stoked for Saturday but I must say, this bitch week…i mean peak week…is going by very slowly!!! It’s only Monday?!?! I’m sure time will fly though from here on out.

Hope everyone is doing well!!! I’ll keep you all updated. You all are amazing!!!

Beat it, Beat it, no one wants to be defeated!!

I know you are all probably so sick of MJ songs, but I’m not haha. Is it weird that I find him attractive in the “Bad” video?? Hahaha. I may have just lost 20 readers after that 🙂 Oh well.

Anyways, I woke up this morning at around 8. I went to bed at 5 haha. It was an awesome night though and totally worth it. I have trouble sleeping in, so I got up and had a ton of energy(no idea why…im a freak like that i guess). I hopped on the treadmill at my apartment complex planning to do 3 miles, 3 turned to 6, and then my friend came over and 6 turned into 9!!! Not complaining though. That’s what happens when your distracted telling stories haha.

I finished and ate some chicken because it was all I was in the mood for and headed to the gym for some chest and abbies. Finished that and came home to some green beans, 1 egg and 1 cup of egg whites. Real carbs are gone. I decided to cut them now because I want to try to squeeze out another pound of fat before Saturday.

The day is approaching quickly and I am SOOO excited!! Gotta work on my posing this week too and let my nutrition and training pay off! I hope I do well, but even if I don’t…this journey has been great. I can’t really see myself getting out of this sport 😉 It hink….i will have to see how I feel AFTER i actually compete haha

happy Sunday all! Congrats Jeh!!

Laundry and Life

I gotta love when I go to put some laundry in the washing machine, only to find that I haven’t put my last load of laundry into the dryer from two days ago. Grrr, must re-do it.

Things have been going great. Workouts this week were awesome. Thursday was Boxing, followed by a Quad/Plyo workout, followed by a spin class. I know there are people who LOVE spin, but I have tried and tried..sometimes I like the class, but the majority of the time I don’t. I have gone to maybe 5-6 classes, and I feel like if it was my “thang” I would probably like it better. I also know that I do NOT like the teacher that I have done it with the past two times. The first time she was okay, but this last time she was spitting out false information about the way your body burns fat, etc. I wanted to tell everyone in the class to stop listening to her, but alas I just spun my little heart out 🙂

Yesterday I did Shoulders and Calves along with my cardio and today I plan on Chest and Abs with cardio. I officially have 7 days until my competition. Things are coming together. I have been working on my posing and walk(probably the HARDEST part about this competition…no joke) and just keeping the eating good and clean. Carbs will be cut on Tuesday, and my last weight session is Wednesday. Thursday I will box and do more cardio and Friday will be completely OFF from exercise. On Saturday, Lisa and I are going to get ready at her house. My hair stylist is coming over to do our hair(for free..thanks Mari!) and our trainer, Dae, is hopefully going to get a trainers pass and be there to kick our butt on to the stage.

Can I just say, do I not have the BEST trainer in the world?? Former body builder, marine corps captain, physical therapist, AND runway model?! He is able to help me build muscle, heal injuries, AND make sure my walk and posing is up to par. What more could I ask for? The man is a genius, he seriously knows everything. Love him.

Not sure what else is on the agenda for today, but I am feeling great and have high spirits. I am high on life right now and SO excited for this competition. Good luck to Rae, Jehanne, and Melissa this weekend!!
