Down to Double Digits Days

Okay, I'm officially under the 100 day mark and I'm FREAKIN OUT!!!!!!!! :)
Just kidding, I just noticed before I signed in that yep, I'm 99 days out!
I'm enjoying sunny Phoenix and can't hardly WAIT for PHAT CAMP on Friday. I got a pass for 24 hour Fitness ($10 a day!) and did an awesome upper body routine, then, the next day (still within the 24 hour time limit) I went to Turbokick and did a quick leg routine. Other than that, we did a great hike and that's about it on the fitness front. Nutrition has been spotty. However, I have been eating my oats, ground flax, psyllium and protein powder for breakfast!

I'm ready to be back on a set schedule. I thrive on a set schedule, don't we all??!
I'm been awful at checking everyone's blog so when I get home I have a LOT of catching up to do!

Much love from Sunny PHX!

Got it!

YAY! I got my diet on the 31st. I really tried to follow the plan, but I wasn't totally on.....New Years Eve was my last cheat meal, it was great, had an amazing lobster dinner.
So, that leads us to Jan. 1st. I think I joined millions of others who "resolute" (is that a word???) to stay on track with diet and extercise.
Okay, back to the diet. It's great, I'm loving it for sure. I stay with this for 3-4 weeks and then we tweek it as needed. Since I am (obviously) holding on to some precious fluff, I'm actually doing 2- 45 minute cardios almost daily (I do have my rest day) That's no problem because I got an ELLIPTICAL for Xmas!!!!!!!!!! It's so badass I love it, it's full body and is sturdy as the gyms'.
Tonight I'm off to teach Turbokick and I'm doing either Chest or Back before....haven't decided.
Anyway, to everyone attempting a new plan: DOMINATE IN 08. Why not! Make it happen!
My motto for the next 100+ days is: TIME TO BUST ASS AND GET STAGE READY!!!
Much love~

Still waiting!!!!!!!!

So, I'm still waiting for my first diet (16 weeks out)
It should be here by tomorrow! Yaya! We went to the store today and STOCKED up. And I must say, the cost of bulk eggs has gone up like $1.25! WTF?!?! :)
Anyway, tomorrow is LEG day (ham dominant).
In T-minus 5 days I'm heading to PHX for 9 days of *hopefully* AWESOME WEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also..............
I'm DOING JEN HENDERSHOTT'S P.H.A.T. CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy smokes. I'm so excited. I decided that I'm going to work for Jen one day. She just doesn't know it yet! Okay, seriously, I would LOVE to help out with these camps, and I haven't even ATTENDED one yet; that's just how awesome I've heard they. Oh, and she And Lishia Dean helped me with my routine choreography, so I love them for that! :)
Alright, here's a glimpse at 16 weeks out. LOTTA FLUFF TO SHED!!!!!!! BUT I'LL DO IT.

Ho HO HO!!!!

my Beautiful Mom. She totally doesn't look like a Grandma! :)

HEY HEY HEY!

Alright, I'm back from hiding! :)
Life has finally settled down.
Here's a recap:
Klamath Falls----------check
Euguene----------------check
Girls weekend----------check
Suprise Kansas visit---check

Every trip went as planned. Soooo amazing!!! :) I already re-capped my PHX trip, which, as I said, ROCKED!!

My suprise visit to Kansas was very well received. Jaws were literally on the floor! :) I'm soooooooooo happy I was able to go. We had a GREAT family Christmas party/gift exchange and it was a blast.

Soooooo, I'm ONE WEEK OUT from starting my PRE-CONTEST DIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YA YA YAHHHHH, I'm soooo ready, so excited, so pumped. This 16 or 17 weeks (need to figure it out exactly) will be SOOOO AWESOME!!! I know I can do sooo much better than my first time around. I actually know what all goes into preparation and can now plan accordingly~!

Workouts have been sporatic. Here and there. Same with the diet. Why must every client bring in cookies and truffles and all that other nonsense?? :) :) Gotta love them.

Well, that's the update. I likely won't post until next Thursday. Sooo, until then: HAPPIEST HOLIDAYS, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy the time with your loved ones!
Lots of love and more~

Well, not a fitness post

This is not a fitness post because things are slacking on that front.
However, I had sooooooooooo much fun in Phoenix with two of my bridesmaids this weekend. Well, I guess dancing can count towards my cardio, and boy did we do some dancing!!! :)
Tomorrow I head out of town YET AGAIN! I'll be in Oregon until Friday. Then things slow down for a while. I'm intending on hitting the gym for leg work tomorrow before I go to the airport. Hopefully that works out!!!!!!!!
I won't be updating my blog until this weekend. Just FYI! :)
LOVE TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are some pix:

Heading Out!

So, tomorrow begins my crazy travel excursion for the next 10 days.
I'm in south central Oregon for a couple days, then in SUNNY Phoenix, then back home, then to Eugene for three days...........
Holy cow, I'm SOOOOO excited! I've never had to fit in workouts when I'm out of town and unaware of my possible accommodations (do I have a gym? can I run outside??)
So, this will be interesting! I've already packed my oats, ground flax seeds, almonds, tuna packets, protein powder, almond butter, rice cakes. That should cover breakfast & snacks (possibly lunch one day)
It'll be a very interesting time because I don't KNOW how time consuming each trip will be.

The last couple days have been FAB!!! I did shoulders, bi's/tri's on Sunday, Cardio only monday, then today I did a killer leg workout and cardio. Good good good!

Here's an adorable pix of my Nephew, Gavin. He's a doll, can't wait to see hiM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
