I have been training for 8 short days. I have lost 2.4 lbs! I cannot believe it. I was 124.4 when I started with Beka and this morning I was a solid 122.0. I was hoping just to be under 123 and was ecstatic and shocked this morning. It actually touched 121.9 but didn’t stay, so we’ll call it 122. If you are considering hiring a trainer. I know one. She’s good. 
Pictures on Saturday.
oil is actually not that great by itself. I am taking my flax spread out through the day and I wasn’t sure how to do it since I so used to mixing it all in my oatmeal. So, I used a kids medicine dropper and downed it. No. Not a good idea. Ew.
So far the plan is good. I mean only two days in. But hey. Two days is good for me!
Hubby is doing great so far on his plan. It is fun to read his thoughts. I love it! He was groaning this morning from soreness. Now I’m not the only one!
If it weren’t for all the great people I have come into contact with on the blogs and forums I have visited, I wouldn’t keep going on this fitness journey. You all inspire me. You encourage me when I am down. I am blessed by people who I have never actually met in person. Thank you. In only a few weeks I will get to meet some of you and hopefully solidify friendships. I have never had a lot o girlfriends. I’ve never been good at all the girlie stuff. I think I’m allergic to drama.
But really, thank you.
You may have met / read about my trainer HERE.
I love Tony. Really I do. I just felt the need to change it up. A little female finesse from someone who has been there and will still push me through the rough spots. I mean look at her for goodness sakes. She’s hot and only getting hotter. She’s a mom. I’m excited. Bring it on, baby. It’s GO time!
This is the scary-ness we have to work with.
No, Sunnie I’ve never been before. What do people wear to this dinner? Is there dancing or is it just dinner?
I went for it. Asked for the day off and I will fly into Columbus at 11:45 pm. Stef is graciously letting me stay with her and I will be able to meet face to face with so many online friends. I really can’t wait. Now to find something amazing to wear to the BFL dinner!
I’m thinking about going to the Arnold Expo and BFL Dinner. I always do this. Plan it all out. Figure out the $$. Then start having all kinds of second thoughts. I just can’t make up my mind.
I plan to compete in fitness. I don’t know when. See, NPC barely has any fitness comps so to find one close by at a good time frame is a bit tricky. I could compete ABA in fitness but they have an evening gown round. I’m just not feeling the evening gown thing. Too beauty pageant-y I think. I was thinking of doing an ABA figure show in May to keep my shape and discipline. I don’t really know anyone who competes close to me.
