Sorry for sucking...

I havent updated in a while, and I really hope that if you've been following, you keep following, things are getting good!!!So Ashley lost 8 pounds in just a couple week on Tony's crazy diet. She is getting MUCH stronger, and is SO motivated and dedicated. We are both putting a LOT more focused, heavy lifting into our workouts, and working the stairmaster like it's going out of style :)

I got my bodyfat done today... (4/26/11).... I weighed in at 132.5 lbs (which I haven't weighed since high school) and a rockin 12.45% bodyfat! First, I am SOOOOo thankful for my strength coach being there for me and my measurements whenever I ask him. Secondly, my aaaaamazing nutritionist Corey, who taught me not to be afraid of carbs!!!!!

Sorry for the sh*ttttttty quality camera phone, but it was the best I had at the time. I walk around the house in my hooker heels... hoping that I'll learn how to walk in them :)

Todays Workout

5 rounds with 65 lbs on the bar
10 hang clean
10 push press
10 dead lift
10 overhead squat

Tomorrow, lifting back bis & tris... Sunday playing field hockey at UNH... Monday, workout with Ashley... Tuesday,  Crossfit with Heidi, then interview all day!

I weighed in the other day, and weighed in at 137 lbs. Which puts my weight-loss to date at 13 lbs!  While the number on the scale is great, I'm so happy with how I'm looking and more importantly how I'm feeling. Corey did a GREAT diet for me, and I'm confident that I'm taking care of my body and doing this the RIGHT way. I'm NOT losing weight by starving myself and doing days and days of cardio! Thats all for now :)

Words of wisdom for the week: Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels. Stay disciplined.

Sorry, I've been told I'm a bad blogger. Ash and I got to work out together over the weekend, and we threw some serious weights around! Probably the hardest leg workout I've ever done... Anyway, it's picture time!

15 weeks and change til showtime... My goal is to stop the little cheats on my diet - a bite here and there was fine before, but now it's time to get serious and stop messing around! and definitely more posing practice!!

112 days til show time.


Body Comp:
17.5% bodyfat (7 point caliper)
149.1 lbs

Heading home this weekend, can't wait to see the family and do progress pictures with Ashley!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Hudson!! Your mom is an amazing woman, raising a strong, independent boy, without a doubt :)
Holy cow. A bit of a change from what I posted earlier...
We got a freak April fool's blizzard on Friday, and were unable to leave for the tournament. I went to the gym with Lynsey and got a great lift in. Overhead squats, hang cleans, push up rows, pull ups & obliques... Love bringing new friends to lift with me, and how excited they get when they enjoy it. She's going to be joining our early morning workout crew :)!

Saturday we took off early and headed to Boston College. We played 4 30 minute field hockey games... Sunday was more of the same at UMass Amherst, 4 more games. All in all, we played 4 full field hockey games in 2 days. Needless to say, I'm tired. My achilles on my left ankle is sore, but really the rest of my body just needs some sleep and I'll be good as new. Today is a much needed day off, but I'll be back at it tomorrow, throwing some weights around with the girls!
