I'll see if I can get Craig to do pics of me in figure poses tonight. I think I am really gonna wait until Wednesday to decide. I did call to have the app. sent to me. I don't want to do it unless I can present my best package, becuase it will be some of the same judges there as the show in July.

I don't do a whole lot of ab work Stacey. Just lucky enough to lean out there first! Usually only do a few things every couple days. Very basic stuff too. crunchs on the floor, bicycle thing, side crunchs, some in that chair thing were you pull legs up.

Actaully way back when, like 1999 or 2000, my goal was Janet Jackson abs. I trained them all the time. You name it, I think I did it. but never did get there! diet sucked!

abs are genetic, sadly for some. I dont train my much either-lately Ive been doing a bit more out of boredom! my waist is a lil "thicker" too even when lean it seems that way. but Eh, yours rock!!
yours abs are WAY better then Janets anyday!!

I totally think that you'll be ready to compete in the Labrada show woman!!

I'm not worried about my uppr body being ready....its my legs I worry about. they always lag behind and make me score bad.

Stacey...my diet hasn't been clean clean. I've had my "snacks" I shouldn't have. Like two spoonfulls of choc. cookie dough from the frig at work this am. Chex mix yesterday and half a container of low fat cool whip yesterday am. Not to mention the bite size pieces of choc. that Cherie hides in her office when she is there. I've kinda learned what I can get away with, which is not good. I have to get in the frame of mind, that the girl I will be standing next too would not have had chex mix or cool whip and will have gotten up every morning to do her cardio instead of sleeping in.

Stacey...I don't think your diet is at all that bad. You just have to keep in mind I am doing a buttload of cardio and my calories/carbs are low. It's not the type of diet to be on for a long time. Your more than welcome to use it and change it to better fit your needs.

but think-if for a few weeks u cut out those LIL treats here and there, your progress would be even furthur amazing Im sure! you can deal with that if you did want to do the Labr. show. just start those bleachers and killer leg sessions now. Im sure once u drop the water for showtime and what not the cuts will come out..

Jen...We are doing bleachers in the morning, then cross training stuff on Sunday. I have to cut leg workouts 10 days out for the water to pull out of them if I do that show.

Hey Jodie! Thanks. I think I'm going to really start behaving at night-thats when I fall apart with the diet..not to bad..but I know I shouldn't.
I was doing a lot of cardio- about 4 hours a week. I need to up it back up. I'm thinking of doing it the AM. I have lots of energy when I wake up!!

But can you & Jen promise to help keep me focused!??!
Oh I am doing bleachers on sunday!!!!

IS rollerblading a good cardio workout?

Yes rollerblading is good! great for the legs. If I still had mine I would come with you! Don't remember where they went when we moved to this complex.

Stacey....we can provide the information, etc. but you have to be the one applying that information. We can do our best to keep you focused in the right direction toward your goal.

ah cardio.....40 mins in am, 35 in pm totals an hour and 10 mins a day 6x per week. It blows! this is what I think of cardio...the necessary friggin evil....

I'll see if Craig will take some pics tonight in figure poses instead of bbing ones.

the show would be exactly 4 weeks today. so 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. I stop weights at 12 to 10 days out, but can continue with cardio up to the week before. I'm thinking it would mean sprints/cross training stuff 3 to 4 x per week up to that time.

Did what I wanted it too so I upped the carbs back today. Not everyone can function on the amount that I normally eat for one day, they are right at 100/115 tops. Probably just water weight that I dropped. But it needed to go. It basically forces your body to use the fats for fuel instead of the carbs (Craig is having to explain this to me.)

And if you wanna use my workouts, please do.

Oh my gosh....your abs are S-A-MOKIN' girly......

I think I'm gonna stick w/ my workouts, since Victor is the man w/ the plan, but I would like to steal your diet if you don't mind? I really need some sort of cutting RIGHT NOW. I only have 19 days until my next 30 day weigh in and then only about 35 days until we go to Playa del Carmen.

I know you're helping Stacey, can you help me too?



All the glory to God! We have a baby on the way.
