Balooo!!!

Early morning treadmill walking for me started my day off just right.

Then I met up with my trainers wife, aka my friend/mentor Shawna to go meet an amazing seamstress named Nicole to get my figure suit figured out.

So wish I would have had this appointment last week because it has me all excited and re ESTATIC for my show.

I looked through fabrics but really all ready had in mind what I wanted.... bright PiNk, PuRpLe, or GrEeN. And then I got there and fell in love with this bright, sparkly BlUe. Oh, I am in love. It is shimmery and oh- s-o -perfect.

I tried on another suit to get the feel for what my bottoms will be like and the top. Well the top is rockin. I really liked the green color I am wearing but after having both up to my skin we (all three of us there) felt like blue made me POP more. And honnnnney, with all this sweatin and hunger stuff I want to strut and pop on that stage like nobody's bizness.

So we got the suit figured out and the master minded sewer lady is going to make mine a bit higher in front and a bit wider at the chotch area to lessen the significance put on my fupa. New term I learned flabby upper pubic area. Sorry, I know bad visual. But you needed to know what this FUPA word meant, I mean. People have been throwing it around like crazy lately and I was going nuts not knowing what the heck they were referring to.

Well, now I know. Don't google pics. You'll regret it I am sure. But it is a saggy lower lower tummy area that has been on me since I was born and was made much worse after my horrid pregnancy's. The good news is FUPA is getting smaller as my body fat decreases, the suit will be higher so I will be able to tuck a lil FUPA in, and my tan will cover a lot as well.

All in all, I felt good about the way I was looking 6 weeks out in my tiny two piece.

I mean. I almost liked what I saw in one of her three mirrors I looked in.

Anywho, I have my little fabric sample out and ready to remind me of what all this hard work and dedication is for. To look good in that suit, knowing that I put my heart and soul into this process to take my body to its perfect (or as close to as I am capable) condition.

And there is only 2 months left! Yikes. I mean. There is only 1 month 13 days til show number 1, and there is 1 month and what 29 days til show 2 is over. Holy moly. That is so nerve recking when I say it out loud. But I am ready. I am ready to rock this freight train outta the park.

I can't waite for my next progress pictures because honestly, it seems like I am leaning out more and more every day. And I rocked my workouts today like you wouldn't believe.

My cardio after lifting got upped to 25 minutes today (could it be because I got caught in the peanut butter jar Wed....??? maybe). Rude. But I actually really love my after lifting session because I have the juice to go BIG and go HARD on that stair climber for that short amount of time. I sorta love it when people look at me on there like I am crazy. I am crazy yo!!! I am so crazy it's unreal some days.

I hit some really great poses at the gym tonight too. Back nice and flat with my lats out. I am really most concerned with getting my back pose right, because if it isn't right... it is really just messed up looking and I wont get good judging because of it. So I am practicing, practicing, practicing. Side posing is the easier of the poses and I feel like those are coming along well, especially as my shoulder caps pop out more and more each week.

Happy Friday! I went to a football party sorrounded by all this yuuuummmy football food, but knowing what I am accomplishing at each fueled meal, left me more than satisfied with my protein shake instead. I don't know how this new Teri got here, but I like her and I hope she sticks around for the next 8 weeks. Cuz we got this, and I am gonna rock this show!!
