I honestly do not know where to begin...I am pretty amazed that its only a couple of days away from show time. My brain is on overload and my body is practically breathing a sigh of relief. After my workout this morning I laid down on the floor and just recapped the last 4 months...every workout, every God awful sprint, every moment I wanted to scream, cry, curse, or all of the above. Amidst all the random thoughts, I was able to lay there confident in my training/preparation...and that was enough. My sprints were hard today...very hard. My legs are exhausted and ready for a few days break. I've sprinted for 6 weeks straight...something I honestly haven't done since high school. And then it was for doing something stupid like mooning people on the bus....this time around I haven't even dropped my pants and I'm running like I'm in trouble with the law. Wrong on so many levels...

Wide grip pull-up 3 x 10-12
Seated cable row 3 x 12
Single arm lat pull-down 3 x 10 each

Overall my day was pretty long...cramming clients in so I could take tomorrow off. I thought I would start painting tonight, however its after 9 and I'm tired and haven't done any of the pre-paint preparations...so it looks like I will be up painting my ass at 6am tomorrow morning...literally. I can do pretty much anything with a few cups of coffee under my belt. My prime is from 7 to 8:30 in the morning...after that, its all downhill...which explains so much.
My upper right trap is killing me. I have to complain about it right now because its been throbbing since 6am and pulling so hard through my neck that I've had a headache off and on all day. Stupid traps...between that and my post-waxing-trama, my body is cursing me. Thankfully tomorrow will only be a light circuit workout. Light workout? What the heck is that?...
Well, I am drained. I will have more to write tomorrow I'm sure. After a nail appointment and being naked with my mom and a paint brush, I'm sure I'll have stories. 2 days out...here we go...
You are incredible! I can't believe all of these things you are doing to get ready for this competition. I am pretty ignorant of this whole body building world but I admire the dedication so much. I can't wait to hear about the results.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for putting this blog out there and I really do hope you continue to write. So much of what you've said has inspired and motivated me to push myself during workouts (I'd have to say you help quite a bit with that, too) and believe that I'm capable of achieving more than I think. Without sounding too cheesy, you really are an amazing person and I truly believe you deserve to win this competition. I feel honored that I get to watch you on Saturday. Good luck with the next couple of days!
ReplyDeleteYou ladies are awesome. Thank you so much for your comments, honesty, support, I could go on... I am thankful my blog sparks thought and perhaps some inspiration here and there despite my own moments of weakness. With 2 days to go I can truly say I am ready to return to the very spot I stood 5 years ago but with greater awareness and confidence in myself as an athlete, trainer, and woman. Thank you for helping me get there!...
