7 Weeks Left!!!

This is all starting to sink in super fast!

You know how when you first start something and it seems like a million years until the end is in sight? That during the first few weeks/months of the process it just feels like you are going through the motions but not really getting anywhere? Then all of a sudden... BOOM... right out of no where and you are half way there, the end is in sight and holy guacamole you friggin did it!

That's how I feel right now.

This whole time I feel like I have been just doing this...doing the work outs... doing the diet... shopping for suites and shoes... but I take a look back to the very very beginning and realize that I have come so far!

I did the diet, the workouts, the shopping and its only 7 weeks until show time!

I posted on my Facebook Page yesterday that I feel like I have already won. I was looking back at some pictures that I took at the beginning of all this and realized how far I have actually come. I got my suit and shoes in the mail yesterday and when I put them on it all became super real. I am really going to compete in a fitness competition. I also said that I was my biggest competition, bigger than anything that I will encounter on that stage and I am giving myself one serious pat on the back!

If you would have asked me this time last year if I ever saw myself competing in a fitness competition I would have probably looked at you like you were from some other planet and then laughed an "uh hell no" and a "what planet are you from" and maybe an "are you crazy? I could never do that"

Well I turned my never's into now's and I am amazed just completely and utterly amazed!

The crazy thing is, is that ANYONE can do this! I never realized until now how many excuses I gave myself to get out of getting in shape... and really all I was doing was not holding myself accountable.

If there is anything that I do not have it would be time. But you know what... if you want it bad enough you will make time. Believe me.... you will find a way.

My days pretty much look like this right now

6am: Wake up
7am: Eat
9am: Take princess to school and go to work
5:30pm: Pick up princess from school
6pm: Go to the gym
8pm: Get home
9pm: Make lunches for the man, me and the princess
9:45pm: Do the dishes and anything else
10pm: finally sit down

*I am in the gym 6 days a week! Monday-Saturday

Its frickin tough but I push through it each and every day. My pay off is when I lift up my shirt and look in the mirror. Your body keeps track of what you do even when you don't keep track yourself... and I am in love with what I am seeing... I think I am borderline narcissistic... not in a bad way but in the way where I have NEVER EVER seen my body look like this before and I cant stop staring at myself!

If you have ever considered or have been interested in competing and you are reading this right now... put down everything and do some research and seriously do it! I have not had one single regret throughout this process and it is been just down right amazing! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself! So excited to see what happens over the next 7 weeks!

7 Weeks Left!!!

And I'm Back!!

Oh my gosh I thought this day would never come!!! I FINALLY have internet back! Took way to long :) So much has happened!!

I have had a pretty successful week stayed really good with my meal plan and made friends with another awesome blogger who is going through the same process I am. She is also blogging so you have to check this girl out :)

Journey of an Army Vet to NPC Bikini Competitior

I am stoked to have my first official blogging buddy, I adore Rebecca she is inspirational! :) 

Also want to let you know that I have decided to get a competition coach. I have been obsessing about this whole competition thing and I think I am in way over my head here. Maybe a second show I can go in it all by myself but I really need expert help here. I have decided to go with Fitness Poynters and so has Rebecca. I am hoping to see great things come from this! I am also excited to be taking the guess work out of all this fun! 

I joined Eagle Fitness and I plan on making it my second home! They thankfully have free child care so I can head over there right after I get off work and pick up my princess from school. 

This weekend I had a major cheat weekend :) and by cheating I mean I drank to much alcohol at my girlfriend's bridal shower and bachelorette party. It totally put a damper on my day but I am glad I got it all out of my system because not a drop for the next 62 days! 

Here are some cute pictures from the party :) isn't the bride to be Beautiful!!!

And some fun ones :) 

We played He said She said and her future husband has a big red beard :) It was a ton of fun. 

I also did some cooking through out the week and I wanted to share the recipes with you :-) You can check out my Recipes Page for all the ones I post throughout my journey!

Chocolate Chip Banana Protein Cookies

Stuffed Bell Peppers

And here is my Week 4 Meal Plan... But it will be my last one since I have decided to go with a coach I will be just sharing meal prep tips and recipes from here on out.

So there is my update :-) Back to daily check ins! What are you doing to stay in shape? I would love to hear some feed back!

Have a great night!

Week 1 Progress!!

Ohmygosh!!! I have never seen my body like this!!!! I am so pumped for the results!! It makes every meal, mile, plank and mountain climbers (hate those the most by the way) completely worth it. And I must say that I am exuding extreme self control. In the last 2 days I was tempted with frozen yogurt at yogurt beach and a company hosted lunch today that was olive garden lasagna with bread sticks and salad. I turned down the yogurt and brought my own chicken and brown rice to eat instead of the lasagna, but I did eat the salad... and a ton of it  :) Tomorrow is my daughters birthday so I will also be tempted to eat cake and pizza. Which I will in fact do... I will have one slice of pizza and a hugemoungous salad and a sliver of cake :) that way my daughter feels like I am enjoying her party.

So here are my one week results:

Day 1:                  End of Week 1:
135lbs                     134lbs


I also lost an inch in my hips but did not lose any of my body fat percentage maybe by this time next week. I am loving the results I have been seeing so far! What do you think?

I am excited for these pictures and I cant believe that's even my body that I am looking at right there! Tomorrow is the beginning of Week 2 and it starts out with a bang! Yoga first thing in the morning then leg day :( I want those sexy legs! I had my significant other take a picture of my booty so I could see what it looked like and although those buns are starting to look nice I still have a long way to go! 

I will check back in tomorrow!! Off to go watch a movie with my better half :)
