9 weeks {Scale Boycott}

Seriously! I have not weighed myself in 2 weeks!! I know! I don't need its validation, to confirm the changes I'm seeing. I actually see them!!! Usually I'm the last one to admit, that "it's working". But it is. I'm doing the day to day stuff, trying not to worry about where I'll be in 9 weeks. The lord knows I have enough issues with cortisol, that I'm not gonna add to it on my days off.

So next weekend is the Mock Comp, & I must admit, that this one has my favorite itinerary yet!! And the chance to actually strut your stuff on a stage & get feedback is priceless. My diva-ness always "clicks" when we do these. Plus spending time with some of my favorite chicks, is always fun.

So I think I'm gonna rearrange things in my extra room, to see if I can squeeze more workout equipment in there. Right now, I just need the flexibility of doing the WOs on my schedule, not the gyms. Don't get me wrong, I luv the gym, but I need options. KWIM?

As for the goals I made a month or so ago... I made my 1 week goal & enjoyed the pedicure. I also made the month goal & need to schedule time for the reward. As for the bonus, I don't think I made it.

I keep thinking about doing a post of "My Favorite Things". Stuff that I couldn't live without & keeps me motivated. But it will have to wait until mid-week, maybe this week. We'll see.

10 weeks out... {Die Scale!!}

Well, let's see. I can't remember if I posted about my little freak out cause the scale wasn't moving. Well... ya wanna know why it wasn't moving? Cause I freakin' put on 3.4 lbs of muscle! Holy crap! That kinda explains some of it. Plus I'm holding water for some damn reason. What am I... a camel? Geez!

But stats are ok, not mind blowing by any means, but progress none-the-less. My body will do it, I just can't blink & make it happen.

So Sat was our team meeting, & I just luv seeing my chicas! We where talking alot about body image & perception of your selves. And I mentioned how I feel okay about my body, but coming to the meeting was hard, cause everyone is sooo fit & fab! I feel like I'm always trying to catch up to their level. Well... ya wanna know what? Almost all the gals there feel the same way! It was almost like you could hear a collective sigh. And everyone relaxed.

Erin had planned a card shower for Julie's b-day & a cute gift (see Julie's t-shirt in the photo). There is another part of her gift, which she doesn't get until the Competition Prep Camp in 2 weeks (I can't tell ya what it is, cause she reads the blog)! But I'll post about it later!

So, I'm still plugging on, doing my thing. Have a new diet... nothing crazy, just good nutrition. I did make a couple new recipes last night. Will post them soon!!
