Tuna, ProTan & Heels Again :: A year of competitions

Josie · 11-07-2007, 02:41 PM

Well here I am again!

I was pretty much against the idea of having *2* different journals (one is hard enough to update) but since I cannot access the other one during the day... and pretty much need a journal to keep me accountable, well I'm starting this one

I'm currently 5 days out of my next comp... and it's been almost a year since I having my baby boy (he'll turn one nest Tuesday).

My prep is going rather well I think, I do have my best bod ever, even though I don't feel quite ready... My coach was very upset this morning when I told her I had doubts about competing this weekend, she told me she would push me on stage if needed

So here's what I look like now, these pics were taklen exactly one week out.

and

I began the sodium load on Monday and I do feel like the Michelin man right now, even though I'm surprised to see I haven't lost that much definition.

I got bodyfat tested this morning and I'm at 8.2% hoping to go down to around 7% by Sunday.

So that's it... whish me luck!

Yeah!! Josie has a journal here!!

**Midnight_Lifter** · 11-08-2007, 12:43 PM

You said to wish you luck, but it doesn't look like you need any luck at all!

Get out there and show 'em what you got -- the rest will fall into place.
