I want a trophy!!

 <------------I want to bring this home!!!

This weekend is our next team meeting, and the gal with the biggest weight loss will bring home a jug of UMP.  Yes it would be nice to win free protein powder, but its more than that.  I NEED to win this for me!  A trophy of sorts.  

At the last meeting I had a crappy weigh in.  And at the meeting I watched two other team mates take home their "trophy".  And I was happy for them.  But this time I want to be happy for me.

So thats why, even though I feel like a$$ and am exhausted, I'm going to truck my bottom up stairs and do my cardio.  I will push through.  I have a show in 13 weeks!!!!!!  

Plurk

Okay... I kept hearing about plurk and finally took the plunge and joined.  So If you take a little look over here --------------------------->

You can see a widget from plurk, thats kinda like a quickie diary of what your up too.  Which is nice, cause I don't always have enough to say to actually make a blogger post.  I'm also gonna use it to post my workouts and such for accountability.

Tell me ALL about it!

2 weeks until Competition Prep Camp

Woot!  Its only 2 more weeks until Julie's Competition Prep Camp!  

ACK!  I need to lean out so more!  *mumbles to self*  This time it will start on Friday night (which I will he heading to after work) and after a group WO, we'll go to dinner.  I luv ordering my wacky foods, when everyone else will have just as crazy demands.  I know!  How dare we say NO BUTTER!!!  I've even lied before and said I'm allergic.  Hey!  They look at you, like your LESS crazy then.  haha!

Then Sat., we'll have stage time and more WOs.  You guys know how I feel about group WOs...  I'd rather have the water drop torture.  But it will be worth it, to get to posing & stage time.  And its amazing how you constantly have to reaccess and practice posing.  What looked good last year, doesn't look so hot after your body changes some.  

Are you dedicated?

What would you do, if you were at the gym and the power went out?

You should be saying "Who needs power?"  

As I looked around the pitch black gym last night, after finishing my glute & hamstring WO in the dark.  It was very inspiring to see how many people kept pushing, when an easy excuse of a power outage, could be used.

I wish I could have taken a picture!  Well, actually it was too dark for a picture.  But I'm glad I'll have the mental one, to keep my going!  

No excuses!!!! How bad do you want it????

Motivate

I am always pumped after a team meeting.  This time it was more than that.  I was lost and undecided about doing comps.  And I'm said to say it was more do due with wanting to fit in with normal society that pushed me to so confused.

I think back to this summer when I knew where I was going and nothing was changing that.  And if a guy wanted to be in my life, than he would have to accept that.  Then somewhere along the line I became ashamed of my goals and dream.  And I let them be shoved to the back burner in an effort to be "liked".  And where did it get me?  Still alone, but worse than that......  LOST!

I need to be happy and follow my heart and get back to the stage.  I can't completely hide from the world, but I sure can't let it change me.

So, back to the team meeting......  it was so good to be around purpose driven people who KNOW what it feels like.  And I can see them, and see where & what I'm pushing for.  Oh... and I was informed that I have a photo shoot in March (ummm... thanks J).  Holy COW!  I HAVE to look good for that!!!

Can you say EMC?????

Lookie, Lookie

I found this tonight at Krogers in the "healthy"/ organic section on a little cardboard shelf thing.

I'm taking this to work to keep in my locker.  My coffee is too hard to drag with me, so these will be nice when I need a little caffeine pick-me-up.

I thought this was too funny!
