I have finally come to the conclusion that I am freakin high maintenance. I swear the older you get the more there is to keep up. Sorry I have not blogged in so long but I was busy having a fantastic summer. I am so proud of myself and my food this summer. If you have been reading my blog for very long then you will know how hard summers are for me. I have stuck to my off season diet and kept my weight under a 5 lb gain after my June 6th comp but now I am up probably about 8 lbs or more but it is all good because it is what my trainer is telling me to do. I cannot believe how much food I have to eat though. I am training for a 5k though on Aug 29th and I cannot help but think that is why he has me eating so much food. Okay, now back to my high maintenance issues. Well I got hair extensions, yes the real deal. You can wash it, dry it and style it anyway you want, swim in it. It is actually real hair and I love it. I cannot grow my hair long, I have to cut before it gets to that point because of breakage. So, here I am with this hair which has added to the list of many things I have to maintain. I swear I am gonna need a 2nd job in another 10 yrs just to keep up. It is not cheap for a girl to look presentable. If you remember my shoe fetish you will understand when I tell you I have traded emotional eating for buying shoes, oh yow I ended up with 4 pairs of new running shoes before school started. It was then that I realized I had changed the eating for this. I was not upset just a little stressed over going back to school.
I have had a birthday (46), a 29th Wedding Anniversary which was yesterday and I have started back to school since I blogged last. I have been doing acupuncture and I am hooked but another maintenance issue but hey my Plantar Fasciitis is cured and I now sleep all night! I got new glasses, maintenace issue. I am serious the list just keeps growing. So now any free time I have seems to be to get nails, hair, or something else done. When along the way did I become a fru fru girl, a girlie girl? I was never like that, I was the biggest Tom Boy ever!
As far as competing goes, Mike is says that this off season diet and workout is going to change my body, sweet because I am tired of being ask if I do Figure or Fitness and not that those are bad I would love to be a Fitness girl but check out the age above, my bones are old and they will break. So we are going to change my body, that is enough to keep me on my off season diet. I am not sure about another show just yet, if I do decide to do another one it will probably be in April. I am just not ready and really am enjoying my life right now.
School is great, even though I am back at the same place I got a great schedule and my class size is a lot smaller this year since we added a Art class. I am thrilled with it all and it is going to be a good year. Hubby is out of town again and only home on weekends so I have all week to focus on my workouts and eating. It is so much easier when you don't have to worry about cooking for someone else.
Hope it doesn't rain!
