Here are some pix for ya:

PHAT CAMP

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really, the BEST fitness weekend you could ask for. Jen Hendershott & Heather Bear just rocked the ENTIRE weekend. I highly recommend this experience for anyone, competitor or not; it'll get you on track for SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Friday night we did an seminar & boot camp; saturday we did cardio, seminar, shoulder, seminar, then chest; sunday was a sprint workout, back, seminar, finished with legs. Then I sat on a plane for over 3 hours.......ohhhh my. I still have DOMS! :) BUT I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
I'm 13 weeks out today and I'm feeling great! I'll upload pix this weekend.
So, I've kept the momentum since Friday night. Monday I did 45 min. cardio intervals, Tuesday I traveled back home and RESTED! :) Wed. I did 1.45 min cardio and a shoulder workout, then today I've done 1 hour cardio, thus far!
Tomorrow is cardio & Legs. Time to bust ass and get stage ready; I keep telling myself that! YOU ONLY GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MUCH LOVE!!!!!
P.S. I spend about 5 days with family in Phoenix before camp. I love to go hiking, and so I volunteered to take Gavin in the front pack so we could all go. He's 22 pounds........that's a LOT of baby to carry up a mountain. :) :) But I love him!!!!

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.
