ROUND 2

Well, if you have read the next to last posting you saw that I went a wee little out of control with my eating. So now I am paying for it. Let just say that I gained around 5lbs in 4 days. And I didn't even eat McDonalds. LOL!!
Anyway, after the "weigh in" on Tuesday I went into a little bit of depression. I had a REALLY hard day besides the weigh in and everything seemed to just dump on me that day. Wednesday, I woke up feeling a lot better and with a new attitude. I just hope I can keep up the intensity for 11 more weeks. That is when my next show is. That right, I am doing another show. And this time I want to WIN!!!!!
Good news, I have already lost some of that weight. I am around 120 now.
(Cool to know)
Last time I kept a paper diet journal for my foods and it helped a lot to see what I was eating. However, I have stumbled upon a really cool website for tracking calories and exercise. It has helped a lot this week. It is FREE, and has just about every food I could think of. Even, Good Value (Wal-mart's brand). The website is myfitnesspal.com. I encourage you to sign up and start tracking your food, you won't believe how much this tool helps you.
It also has a function that you can set a goal weight and it gives you the calories you need daily to make that weight. I can't use this right now, b/c I am on a special diet, but if I was just starting out with weight loss this would be awesome!!

Special Thanks!

Before I start round 2 tomorrow I just wanted to tell some people Thank you!

First, my hubby, Rocky. He has had to deal with temper tantrums, spending sprees and long hours with the kids. You are awesome, and I love you sooo much.

Second, my coach Robert Bailey. You are the best! I LOVE working out with you and Carmen.

Third, Carmen. Thank you for letting me be competitive (whatever you can do, I can do better) LOL!! I am so glad that we have had this chance of getting to know each other.

Fourth, Charlotte. Thank you for staying up late and putting on my tan and then getting up at 5:00 am to put three more coats on! Also, thank you for all the advice.

Fifth, I had three rockin babysitters during this journey. Bekah Moody, Danielle, and Michelle. Thank you for watching my kids and letting me train, worry free.

Last but not least... All of my friends and family that supported me and prayed for me during this time. I totally felt all the prayers and good wishes!

I know that I am leaving someone out, but I just wanted to tell you guys that I love you all, and without your help and support I could not do this.

The Sunday After ( A tale of some fine food)

On my journey to my weight loss goals I have had to give up some of my favorite foods. Including doughnuts, cakes chocolate (okay, you get it - anything with sugar) Well, after my competition on Saturday we decided to IHOP and let's just say what happened after that was not pretty.

12:00 a.m.
On the way to the restaurant I had three girl scout cookies, once I got to IHOP I had an Egg and Cheese Sandwich, two pancakes, onion rings dipped in syrup. A big cup of coffee with creme and sugar.

8:00 a.m.
Biscuits and Gravy, Cantaloupe, Eggs, Oatmeal with granola, raisins, and syrup.

10:00 a.m.
Drew's left over Eggs and Cheese, 4 pieces of buttered toast with cheese and jelly. 2 Doodlebugs (creme cheese and cresant rolls with a sugar glaze), and one brownie, one Reece's p-nut butter egg.

1:00 p.m.
Turkey and cheese with mayo sandwich, potato chips. 1 Airhead. 12 Cadburry eggs (small ones)

4:00 pm
Steak, french fries, ketchup. Three brownies.

6:00 pm
2 Chocolate bunnies


And here is where I got sick.....
8:00 pm
Two bowls of cereal (Trix)


The next day was not really any better, I started off pretty good, but ended horriblbly.

Here is a listing of just the junk I had.

3 chocolate bunnies (crispy)
1 Airhead
4 Cadburry eggs (one package)
7 girlscout cookies with whip creme
6 Jellybeans
I know there is more, I just can't think of it right now.

Anyway, I will never compete again at that rate, I ate until I did not want to eat anymore. This morning I am trying to eat good. Right this minute I am eating eggwhites, oatmeal 1/2 banana and yogurt. Pray warriors please pray that I will stop eating junk and that I will not gain 10lbs this week!!!

I love ya'll, thanks for following my blog!!

Well......

I did not win(or place). But I had a lot of fun and learned a ton!! I really need to lose a little bit more weight and tone up some things and then I think I will be ready. It's the day after the show and I am already to get back in the game and kick some booty (mine). LOL!!! Thank you to everyone who supported and prayed for me throughout this whole process. Trust me, the prayers were felt!! As soon as I get some really good pictures back I will post them but until then I will leave you a teaser. Check out the girl beside me, she placed 5th. We had some pretty tough competition! Oh, I can't wait to share with everyone my tanning story!

Hope you like it!

1 Week out

Well I am less than one week out before my big competition. I guess you could say that I am a little nervous, okay a lot nervous. My house has never been so clean! :) Rocky is happy! Today I started Sodium loading. I will be doing that until Wednesday. I LOVE it! I am not sure why but I feel a lot fuller, (probably bloated) LOL! Anyway, it was great adding salt to everything. I am not a big salt eater but it was something different. As soon as I find my camera I will upload pics of my suit. It is beautiful!!!!!!!!!
