that sounds great! Good luck even though you don't need luck, you have all the determination you need.
That sounds like a great trip.

[JLB001]

Maria...if your going to the Cheesecake Factory...I wanna go!!!! I love their Godiva Choc Cheesecake! Its to die for.

Your doing an awesome job with your workouts and how much you have improved! Please don't judge yourself off of what others look like, etc. Right now, I look nowhere like my gallery pics. I could snort like a lil piggy right now!
Take your time and build a solid foundation and go from there!

ok ive been thinking, my trainer/everyones told me from the
beginning, i should do a figure competition. ive just made that
decision consiously, myself!
i really wanted to do a bodybuilding comp, bc i think muscle is
beautiful, thought i could build muscle easily and i wanted show off
all my hard work. (but figure competitors have muscle 2) after the
first time i went to a (bb + figure)show, i saw how the bodybuilders
got to do a routine and have music and it really Pumped me up. the
figure competitors just go on stage with elevator music, do quarter
turns, and stand in front of the judges. i thought "Eww, thats more
of a beauty pageant! Way too prissy/girly for me." I wanted to do a
routine, with really good music.........
but as i thought more about it....... my trainer is a natural
heavyweight bodybuilder, shes been training/competeing for years,
well ive been training 4a lil while now, my bodys made changes, but
its not like hers, anything. she advised that i would really do
better in figure. and i thought omg, i cant remember a whole routine
AND look good/smile in front of amillion people under a spotlight
and bright lights! my nerves/memory will be shot! ok figure, i could
probly do. its alil more classier and boring but those girls work
very hard to get where they are!

hey, i finally posted in my gallery now if i could figure out how to do my avatar?

 

[chiquita6683]

DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!

omg more waiting!!!!! i just sat down w my neurophycologist and
driving therapist, dad and sister......the news was im not ready to
drive yet on my own. she wasnt seeing enuf improvement...yet. there
will be another neurophych and driving evaluation in september. i
wanted to cry, my driving therapist was crying. but she said keep up
what i am doing, there was great/many improvements since my last
injury. soo im gonna keep working on my goal, to compete in figure.
its really important, i be really consistant w everything. diet,
workouts, meds, everything. today was so shitty. i didnt train this
morning bc i spent the day w my sister, which was fine. but i got
outa wack w my diet, and my trainer told me to stop cardio since
thursday bc im about to start cutting. so i feel likea fat bum.
ill just have to focus on cutting, instead of getting depressed
again. i could just sit on my azz n cry the rest of my life, but no
im determined, to be the best I can be. more healing needs to take
place so i can drive again, but maybe ill never drive. damnit i need
to move some place where u dont need to drive!

[gwcaton]

Good job Maria !

 

[chiquita6683]

thanx guys

hehe gee thanx guys!
so yea good thing i dont havea real job YET........i ate n trained this morning and ate n took my meds bouta 11. n made that last post ect. omg i actually tooka nap! i just woke up @230
AND my meds r sposta keep me awake!. i take adderall and 1/2 a provigil in the morning(not the only meds) ...........so Adderalls for my attention and Provigils for alertness. and i take just those meds again@noon meal.
wow this is alot to concentrate on, AND i gotta cook/clean later ect. im sposeta have the eggwhites/egg be4 i go2bed........i have forgotten a couple of nites. 1time i putem in the micro for 2:00 mins n i usually cookem for another minute after i stirem, well i left during the 2mins and started doin somethingelse. the next morning they were still in there raw
yea i think i can become a personal trainer, im looking in2it, any association suggestions? altho im not sure i could do that, i have a hard time keeping count during MY workouts. but then again i just may be really good at it. like i hate people that talk to me during a workout it makes me loose count. (i train @a women's gym) i see the trainers n clients haveing regular conversations, like the workout is nothing. i like it tho, its small and i know the machines well NOW. maybe i oughta train people @ 1a those huge places that way i could be serious/concentrate w the clients idk? thats along way off from now

 

[chiquita6683]

i changed colors in the group!

YAY!!!! someone told me how but i actually DID! its the really
small things that count!

something happened, i mean something really positive! n whoa its
like all i needed=D

one of my best friends told me after my first accident, she felt
like her best friend died. i had NO personality at all. i couldnt
make facial expressions or anything, my voice was a whisper n very
monotoned. damn those fukers that hit me!!!!

now, holy shit! im really crazy like loud n obnoxios! lol a cocky
lil shit! yea im like 1a those cute/weird dorks, i guess. my
personality is showing! yea yea yea, i Cuss like all the time! lol i
say yea yea yea alot2

u no what, i need to get off the damn computer so much! dont get
me wrong im like really popular on here n all love all of my yahoo
buddies that chat w me! but i am like hot as fuck! k holy shit its
just now hitting me that I NEED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! but shit u
cant do that when u cant drive!

jeezus! i am soo slow! it takes me forever to do shit! but i mean
at least i figurd how 2 make the group! yea cause i had nothing
better 2 do n maybe it helped me cognitively, so yay 4me!

 

[chiquita6683]

now if i could figure this damn thing out!

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

how old are you?

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

nvm i read it, 20 yr old

 

[chiquita6683]

growin up

This is a part of growing up, my group I mean.
The group doesn't make me look as good as a person. But during
this time in my life, I do not get to spend much time with the good
friends I do have. I have many people that love me in my life, and I
am very thankful for them.
So I'm very sorry but I will not make as many posts as often as I
have. I think I am a very determined person. So when I came up with
this goal, there is no stopping me!
I had an experience this weekend that told me I shouldn't try so
hard, take a few steps back. I think that is right, and I am very
glad because of it.
I'm also very impatient. I want (almost) everything right then. I
think many (mature) people that have joined the group do realize
this.
Thank you for all your support, I hope this group keeps increasing.
So I will make posts before and after CompetitionS that I do in the
future. If I give inspiration to others then that is wonderful but
that is not my motivation of working out.
