Today is Cinco de mayo! Boy would I love to celebrate with some margaritas. I have not had a drink in so long I don't even know if I could handle it. I did have a few of sips of red wine the night before my last comp, I swear my toes were tingling after about the third sip.. I know I am a sissy. I just stopped having the occasionaly drink about 2 years ago when I decided I would rather eat my calories than drink them.
Well, school is quickly coming to an end. I will miss some of my kids that move on but I will be glad when others move on quickly. My year has been so stressful and I have counted down the days since Sept. There are only 13 more days left.
My new workouts are killer but I love them. I am using Mike Davies for my last 4 weeks of prep for this show. I need to make a huge difference and I felt that was best for me right now. The diet is very doable but there is a lot of food to prepare, no more shakes. I would love to use Julie again when I am finished and I would recommend her to anyone! Matter of fact I am looking at using her again in the Fall but I do not have anymore comps planned once this one is over. As far as cardio goes, it is a kick butt 30 minute session of HITT. I love the way I feel when I am finished.
I got my pics back from the KS comp and I was a bit disapointed because I felt I should have placed higher even though my legs never did come in, they looked very swollen as a matter of fact. I will post them as soon as I have a chance to scan them.
I stuck my nose up today to a lot of good food and massages in the lounge. This is teacher appreciation week. The kids all wrote letters to me and had it made into a book and the front cover has my name and it says, We love you because..... It is adorable and I laughed out loud at some of the letters.

Aww- what a cute gift. :)
I hear you on the margaritas. I am wondering if I will get any free meals where I can enjoy some wine. I have 25 weeks. I hope I can a few tastes on a warm summer evening. I doubt it would take much for me either. lol
Glad school is almost done for you.
Why did you switch to Mike?
That's the great thing though, the fact you haven't done that for a long time. It proves that you don't need it, and that you can manage perfectly well without it.
I have never drunk, so looking at it from your situation, I applaud you, and say if it's been a long time, you've proven it's a nothing kind of thing to you, so you can live without it, without getting any urges for it.
That's a very good thing and it's that kind of discipline, that has helped you to be the person and athlete you are today.
I'm sure the photos will do you a lot of justice, and whatever you think, you should never stop being proud of all you've done.
The photos of your recent show that have been seen before, highlighted just how beautifully artistic you have become as a human work of art.
So whether you think you should have placed higher or not, you ARE a winner and you ARE a champion who has won before, and you DO have that Heart and dedication it takes to be a champion, and considering when you first started doing this, which is a lot later than most, it makes what you've done extra special, and truly inspiring.
So keep thinking only positives, kepe smiling, and look forward to the coming show.
I KNOW you are going to be amazing!!!
Best wishes.
