Sassy69: BB to Physique 2012

[sassy69]

Is that u in the avatar

Yep - photoshoot at the Olympia in 2007

3/8/12 - Thurs

I'm up here in Seattle the rest of the week for work. Way too tired Tues & Wed to do any cardio - between packing, traveling, work & no sleep anywhere in there (weird, I simply couldn't fall asleep, but scared to take anything so I didn't oversleep & miss my flight).

Cardio: 40 min elliptical @ the hotel

LOLZ -- the 3 treadmills they have in the "fitness room" don't elevate & the bike won't turn on.

Happy to say the diet is good - just not hungry so I'm rolling w/ that. There are a bunch of restaurants near the office, but none of them really have food I care for, so I hit the grocery story & bought some salad stuff and I brought several packs of pouch tuna, a small thing of Designer Whey protein & oatmeal. Easy peasy!

Sassy,

You look great.
I hope you win and are in complete success with all you've set out to do. You deserve it!
I got great news today too, I met a real gal that is in upcoming competitions and has told me a of a person that can get me more closer to my diet needs. He is awesome, saw him on you tube and has male and female teams. THis one gal, oh my freakin Gawd. She is so beautiful, and I love the look of AAS through her to. Gold Lame bikini, her tan color with raven black hair...to die for! I will ask my friend if she will let me post some pix of competitions with her or her team mates

Best of success to you Sassy!

Don't you love hotel "fitness" centers? Usually a treadmill in a closet will suffice. LOL

There's a huge variety and it really does depend! It does happen that sometimes I'm highly disappointed by the top-flight chains in major cities (couple or Ritz-Carltons) and ridiculously surprised by the cheapo ones in the middle of nowhere (Holiday Inn and Econo lodge).

This is an issue near and dear to me; there's a lot of travel in my work - and it's really hit-or-miss what you're gonna get.

Bigger name does not mean better when it comes to this.

Any updates in here?? Sassy, where you at???

 

[sassy69]

Catch up post! Per the above note, I went to Seattle to explore a potential move and just didn't like it at all. Great office & staff and great opportunity, but I'm already moody enough. The perpetual grey weather is 3 steps backwards a probably beeline directly to the therapist's office. I was also hoping an opportunity to relocate to Denver where I've got family & friends and there's s great fitness environment there. That was explicitly not an option and it took me a week to really come to terms w/ that & refocus here. So I took that week & got focused! Here's the catch-up. This week's requirement is 35 min cardio/day. As I mentioned above, my challenge is getting into the gym w/ something that feels like I accomplished something & cardio doesn't pull it for me. So me personally, I added in a ham & quad day where its all high rep / low weight. My ass & thighs have always been an issue for me, so it feels good to get them working. I'm also looking for any classes that coincide w/ when I get to the gym - my work schedule sometimes slides past 5 pm so it's always been hard to commit to classes. I also bought "Insanity" - see if / where that fits in....

Progress-wise - since a stall 2 weeks ago, I've dropped 5 lb Official recording tomorrow. The bigger thing is just seeing some forward motion. Here's when nothing tastes better than feeling lean!

Finally, a Sassy update!

I hear ya about Seattle, it is beautiful but can be very depressing. We have looked at Portland Oregon in the past, but just can't pull the trigger on a move.

Keep going strong girl, 15 weeks!!!

Hey beautiful! How are things coming along? How is the transformation going? Have you already picked out your show? I can't remember if you did. Did you end up going to Sac show?

Hey beautiful! How are things coming along? How is the transformation going? Have you already picked out your show? I can't remember if you did. Did you end up going to Sac show?

Hey mama! The transformation is slow. As per usual my body is holding onto the same weight for dear life. I got down 5 lbs from my 'off season' sticking point by last Sunday, and its been up & down a few lbs since. Kinda hoping I'll get those 1-2 lbs below last week by this Sunday. I 'look' leaner in the upper body and a guy on a bike at the gas station tonite said I looked like I had great legs Can't hate on that!

So my target show is the NPC San Jose, July 7. So that puts me about 14.5 weeks out right now. Scheduled to just do cardio, but I think spending the time doing stretching and at least legs is worth it for now. Upper body tends to respond wonderfully to training, and sadly, that's NOT what I want to happen, so just patiently whittling away at the excess mass right now. Mostly focusing on just getting that good burn rate set up so things will start moving. I'd like to be in reasonably presentable shape when I plan to go attend the Emerald Cup up in Seattle in May, so definitely all over it in terms of focus! I also need to be a good ways down the road to show shape because I need to order a new suit! All of mine are just going to be too small on top.

I didn't get up to Sac for the pro show. Just crappy weather this past weekend and didn't want to attempt driving up there early & missing half the morning show. And THEN I realized the pros didn't come on until later. O well. More to come!

She will grow into it, think just hearing the voices for the first time caught her off guard. And Walking Dead, um no, not yet. Maybe when she is 1.
