Moxie for Life

As I mentioned last time I was going to get waxed on Saturday and yes, I did! We went to this fabulous Spa near LA where my friend’s friend does waxing. We got there early to use the facility before our appointments. We sat in the hot tub, steam room and sauna. We drank Lemon water and snacked on fruit…I know…I did have a piece of fruit, but it wasn’t chocolate or bread…so leave me alone. The waxing was a breeze. This woman was fabulous, although I did not get the whole enchilada done as planned- evidently they don’t do that there. So I asked her to please just take as much as she could. I now look like a porn star, minus the boobs. Not that I’ve ever seen porn of any kind.ever. I got my eyebrows done, too and they are so so…a little thin for my tastes but that’s ok.

It was a very pamperific day!

Later I headed to the gym for seriously the hardest workout I’ve ever done. I came the closest to puking after lunges as I ever have. My head was spinning. But I felt strong and pumped afterward. I just keep looking at Valerie Haines (she’s on the left) and it keeps me moving! She’s one to watch in the figure world, for sure.

…but the face is mine. Anyway, that’s how I felt today at the gym. I started taking NO Shotgun today…whooooooaaaaa. Crazy rush I got. I seriously felt high. I’m not sure what all is in that stuff but I was a lifting machine, I tell ya. I skipped the gym in the morning after my little mishap yesterday and went after school. 3:30 pm is a great time at the gym. Hardly anyone there.
I was seriousy shaky and weak after spending the night with john. I’m thinking that on the back of Sugar Free candy, with the disclaimer “Excess consumption may cause a laxative effect” in microscopic print, they should have a suggestion of what excessive might be. Like maybe “if you eat 2/3 of the frickin bag in an hour your life will be a living hell for 8 hours”. That would be a little easier to understand. Anyhoo…lesson learned and may this be a WARNING to you all, too. Just have 1.

Part I

I met with another trainer last night and had a much better experience, so far. I’m going to have a posing session with him on Saturday so hopefully it will go well and he can help me for the next few weeks. He says the has a few other girls that he is helping. Keeping my fingers crossed…He has shifty eyes. lol I let him know that he doesn’t need to lie to me and tell me I’m great if I’m not, but at least be encouraging. I also got my DVD last night. It was pretty good. The lady was a teeny bit repetitive but some good pointers- “from a judges standpoint.” (She said that about 700 times!)

Part II

Another note for Saturday…I’m going to get waxed. All of it. Gone. I’m so nervous. Any of you out there have tips on preparing for this? I’ve done the basic bikini and that was painful but bearable. A couple of shots of whiskey perhaps? I’m not looking forward to the process but excited for the outcome. Kind of like pregnancy.

Part III

I ate a few sugar free lifesavers today. I’m not sure if this is why but I can’t go too far from the bathroom. That is the only this I’ve done differently. Past competitors…is this a prepping side effect?

No, really. I almost killed myself last night going to the bathroom because my husband had set up a fan in front of the door because when he came to bed the room needed some “fresh air”. “Have you changed your diet again?” he asks. 9 weeks, honey.

Bottom line- I need more muscle. My legs look great. Do not be discouraged and walk and talk like a champion.

Be honest…is this body gonna be ready?

The was the word Tony used to describe the trainer I met with in yesterdays post. He talked me down from my ledge and we’re all good now. I still don’t have aposing coach, but I’m working on it. Yeesh. I didn’t know it was going to be a pain to get this set up.

I met with a trainer at a gym I don’t go to. I was thrown first of all becuase he said I would need to join the gym for $75 a month and he charges $50 an hour for training. Yow! I can’t do that. Then he has me get my suit on and begins to give me pointers. He had some good things to say about my posture and such that I really agree with. Then he says, “lat spread”. I am very new. I’m training online. I’m really not very good at it. So I say, I’m not great at that. Then he proceeds to tell me that I am not working my muscles correctly and I should know how to do a lat spead and that I have no lats. Mind you, he wasn’t mean, but basically told me online training was useless and that maybe I should rethink my June date. So what your saying is Mr. Trainer guy, is that I have been effing busting my ass for almost 4 months for nothing? Hell no! Tony better call me soon becuase I’m gonna freak out!

We’re having a big party at our house tonight with an 80’s theme! I’m so excited! We are combining it with a Murder Mystery Party…gonna be blast. Now if I can stay away from the champagne! Argh. Why did I have the party now?

Here’s how I ate my sweet potaotes today…

Pretty darn yummy!
