OK, so I have been pretty easygoing with the workouts this week... only one early morning all week, so today (Saturday) I decided I'll be back onto the crazy early morning workouts again!  Got up early and did a good 45 minutes of hard cardio this morning while I did my laundry and read the new FLEX magazine.  Now I'm on the computer checkinh out all the Olympia coverage on bodybuilding.com - awesome, they have tons of videos of the whole event.  Last night was the big ladies night - fitness, figure, bikini and female bodybuilding so it's all the totally inspiring stuff cause I definitely want to be competing there next September!!!  What a way to start my day - so many awesome bodies - WOW!  Got my eye on the prize and nothing is gonna stop me! I've also got some short term goals like trying to look in decent shape for the a few big dance shows I have coming up (one I heard I'll have to be wearing a samba costume in - oy!)  Here we go!!!!!

Well, it's been a while since I posted here!  My whole summer has been very busy, I've kept up with my wicked-fun workouts,but have been very off-and-on with the clean eating.  I was trying to learn to be a more regular person, not a competitor always training for a competition.  It was hard!!!  Although I have now decided on some fitness competition goals for 2011, I have made a commitment to myself to do it in a more long-term, healthy way this time.  My first competition will be UFE's Spring Bash on April 9, so I have about 6 months till then to lose about 20 pounds which I think is a good goal for me!  I really want to stick around my competition look (within 5 - 7 pounds) year-round.  I am giving up competing in the figure category all together and will only be competing in Fitness Model and Bikini categories so it's not such a big ripped look and will be more maintainable for me!  Most of all I really want to look fit year-round for my life in general!  Really dissapointed that I'm not at Olympia this weekend and I have made a commitment to be competing there next year!!! I promise to post more regularly here to keep you all posted on how it's going for me!
