Stacey, I can't believe you said "I hope not" either. I have been the same way too for the past two days. I'm crampy and a little irritated, so I know my stupid Aunt Flo is on her way.

OH well, at least the bloating will go down....

Gotta get back to work. Good workout last night and the meals look good. Can't wait to see you in HOuston

Hey hon. I know I can't believe I said that--you too?? Wierd!!!

I KNOW I can't wait to meet u toooooo!!!!!!!

Oh you're JLB's honey!!! I got confused.

My hubby grew up in Stinkadena I try to avoid the place entirely

I love Clear Lake! It's like a whole little town in itself, we've got everything we need here and great schools too. And the club/party/shopping scene in Houston is only 20 mins away.

I work in the Export Control office for Johnson Space Center (JSC). I'm the IT person so I get to classify all the software, computers and related items per the U.S. Export Regulations. The regs were written by lawyers so it's pretty dry stuff... the part I love about my job is the people I work with!

 

[DrChiro]

all that computer IT stuff is over my head... as long as you like who you work with you can't go wrong.

As far as the club scene in houston...jodie and I dont go out much...we are usually dieting so we dont drink much...we are both so busy with training and work/school that we just kind of like to take it easy when we finally get some time off.

Maybe you can suggest a cool "low key" place to hang out so I can take my sweetie out

Hey...anyone ever tell you your hubby looks a little like scott ian from anthrax? (your hubby looks better....and i mean that in only the straightest non-gay way)

(hmm somehow this conversation got started on Stacey's thread..sorry about that)

Stacy if I lived closer I would love to be your photographer!!

 

[Leslie]

Good luck Stacey I know you will love this experience.

You do need to get your body fat tested though- that will help determine when your super strict diet should begin- at 16 weeks or 12 weeks ect. For now I would suggest slowly bringing up your carbs until your diet start date. If you start out too low in cals then you will have no tweaks and be left stuck in a plateau.

Have you decided what kind of diet you are going to follow?
The diet and your suits should be your priority right now.
(Since most suits req 2-3 months to make if you go with custom. A cheaper alternative are standard suits at www.jagware.com *I know Babsie had an issue with them but my first suit turned out great- the blue one in my gallery* )

BTW Figure gals do not w/o for 2 hours a day. Do you think they would share their secrets wuth th e world? Besudes unless you are on steroids- by working out doing cardio 2 hours a day your LBM would diminish.

JBO and Babsie have posted many great links and tips.
You are going to be great!

Leslie - that jagware link takes you to a technology company website... here's the correct one http://www.jagware-posingsuits.com/

DrChiro - We don't get up to Houston much ourselves, it's just nice it's so close.

I hear ya about being so busy! We've got two kids and another on the way! Cory is 16 and mine, Tyler is 9 and is the hubby's, so we wanted one together.

I told him what you said about scott ian from anthrax and he laughed.

I don't think Stacey minds too much

There is no reason not to do it! Being nervous goes along with the territory of being a figure/fitness competitor. Just use the nervous enegry to fire up your workouts.

Modelling is 10x more nerve wrecking... so this'll be good training

 

[Stacey]

AWWW thanks DG!!!! your awesome!!
