I'm at an age when many women believe their best years are behind them. I hope to convince my "Sisters" that many more of those "best years" are waiting to be lived! I'm living proof it is never to late to live them. Not to long ago I weighed nearly 200 pounds and was being treated for a long list of obesity related medical problems. Thankfully there came a point in my life when I decided to keep my self promises. When I did...my life opened to a world of possibilities.

show progress update

133 pounds today. The show is Saturday. Today my trainer will "paint" me in my first coat of pro-tan. I will have a full day at work. So it will be interesting to see if I can hide the color.

There will be no workouts, cardio or tanning...now. That's a good thing, cause I need the time to practice my posing.
Posing really burns up energy. I have to hold each pose for 60 seconds. And I have to do five times each.

My Trainer Donna, www.bodybydonna.com suggested that these last few days will be an real eye opener...as your body will change every day. I am a believer! Today when I looked in the mirror I couldn't believe it was me.

Two more days...and then pre-judging at 10 a.m. Saturday. The Finals are at 6 p.m.
Sunday will be a day of rest and a modified freeday.

While I do not want to stay this lean in maintenance mode I do not want to blimp out. Any weight gain will be done scientifically in the attempt to add new muscles. I will be going back on my EAS creatine and more to meet those new goals.

That's the secret to this BFL. Once you meet a goal (In this case the show) you create a new goal. Without goals it is hard to move forward!
Eat clean, train hard and be at peace with yourself...you deserve to be happy!
