For all my friends who support me when I have needed you most!

Hey guys, thought I would let you know I am better.  Much thanks to Harley!  He has a way with me when I am in the dumps.  Saturday morning I went to Don's and worked with my sister and cousin.  We did a PLYO routine, great sweat and lots of fun.  Then I worked with my sister on upper body before her husband completely distracted her.  I swear I am going to ban him from the gym when I work with her.  You would swear they are 16 and 17 again (after almost 20 years of marriage!  :)  Then my honey took me to eat and see a movie.  Lincoln Lawyer, very good!  Sunday morning breakfast is getting to be tradition at my house.  I try to go all out for all my babies, the only one I had this Sunday was Harley, so I catered to him.  (Missed my other babies though)  Sunday afternoon, Harley took me to my gym and DELIVERED a great leg workout.  I had fussed at him only doing 4 exercises with me for legs last week....something about I didn't feel like I had really done anything or rather I felt like I could do more.  WELL, needless to say, he said, you asked, so here you go baby.  Sometime during leg presses with 7 plates, down for 3 sec then explosive shoot to the top, I was crying out from the pain.  And just when I thought I was done, he decided to make it a drop set for complete burnout.  He has such a vicious bag of tricks and his new name is EVIL!  (Love you baby)  WE finished up or rather I finished up somehow and went on for 30 min on stepmill followed with incline tread walking/running.  (Slowly starting to love the incline tread, so many ways to make it killer)  :)

I am still in the thinking process of whether I will post progress pics this weekend.  One, I will be 14 weeks out, two, my training and diet have not been as strict as before, so not sure what to expect.  PLUS, who wants to see a 35 year old granny?  :0)  It's my BDay Saturday!  So we'll see.

Here is something I thought might inspire those of you about to compete in the next few weeks.  By the way, I am so proud of you guys and so excited for you!!!  I can not wait to read about how you nailed your competitions and to see the final pictures.  Thanks for letting me share your journey, it has been a great ride.

I just love the sheer beauty of this shot!  Her arms, obliques, and the fact that it is not "posey".
