I'm working on it...

3 and a half weeks out....

Ok the other day..what did I say I needed to accomplish?

LOSE at least 5 pounds. My ideal is 135. So I weighed in this morning at 143.4.....at least we're going in the right direction...

Obtain a suit for the competition Yeah, so I spoke to a seamstress today that is located on Long Island. Super stoked about that. We are looking at 3.5 bones for this suit but hopefully we will all be satisfied with the final product.  Either way,it's great she is able to accomodate for me so last minute. I was blessed to be able to reach out to her....I asked her for a posing recommendation...

Which she provided...We may get to meet up as early as SATURDAY!!! ..  AND this person does makeup and hair... : o  TRIPLE BONUS.

Get beautified for the competition

Prepare for styling for the competition...Did I mention we wear 4 inch heels on a stage in a bathing suit?

Oh, so you when you blog you actually have to type stuff?

How about I promise not to blog only once a week if you promise to follow me?  You probably need something to actually follow..YES?
So let's get this thing cranking.

I've always been a fitness and workout fanatic since I was a teenager. I've just recently, within the past 5 years, gone into the realm on fitness and training on my own outside of a gym and I love it. I love to compete and thought this would be a fun thing to prepare for while getting in shape.  These people's bodies look amazing, so hopefully, this will be an adjective used to describe my physique in the super near future.  I have been 'training' since November.  My earliest stats are from Dec 15th. (I can't believe I'm posting my weight on the internet)


Date Weight (pounds) Arm (inches) Arm Flexed Waist (inches) Waist (at bellybutton) Hips (inches) Thigh Calf
12/15/2010 162.0 12.000 12.500 31.000 33.400 40.750 22.750 16.500

So my latest stats are below:


4/10/2011 144.0 11.000 12.250 27.000 29.000 35.500 20.500 15.250

In about 4 months I've dropped 18 pounds and roughly 19 inches all the way around. Not too bad....I need to get below 140.

THIS MORNING...

I had an egg white scramble with spinach and two slices of ezekiel bread. What is that? OOOOH it's a wheat free version of bread.  I have a blog on the phoenyxfitness site (www.phoenyxfitness.com) I'll post some info on that later this week.

My daily packing makes my refrigerator look like this.... whole new meaning to Sunday cooking.....

So here we go full throttle....In less than three weeks, I need to

LOSE at least 5 pounds. My ideal is 135.
Obtain a suit for the competition
Get beautified for the competition
Prepare for styling for the competition...Did I mention we wear 4 inch heels on a stage in a bathing suit?
Tanning...yes...sigh....SPRAY tan

All this while working and training, and sleeping..sometimes...

3 weeks and 6 days out

This is my first post just a preliminary 'hey this is me, and thanks for following my blog' post... Let me know what you think , what I can change, what looks good, etc.  I'm ready to get this started....sort of. Just a little nervous...But hey, that's why you're here right? *timid smile*. Help me out.  It's less than a month to showtime...Thanks for being a part of the madness....More to follow...
