Figure Competition, Musings Previous Next

The Abbeys like their “blankies” and

I like to eat.

Less than 2 weeks to my competition and surprisingly I feel pretty good despite being far from my goal on the scale.  My friend, Martha, came over this weekend to help me with my posing.  Turn your the palm of your paw toward your bum.  Arch your back and hold you tail high.  Wipe the slobber from your cheek.  All that fun stuff.  She said that my pictures do not do me justice (so I won’t post them 😉 ) and that I’m going to look good on stage.  WHAT!!!!  Can you say that again please????  True or not I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear that.  THANK YOU Martha.

My biggest fear, next to being locked in a closet full of hungry tarantulas, is to be “that girl” on stage where the nicer audience people think, “Ummmm really?”.  I don’t even want to imagine what the less nice people might think.  For those people, I have many words, most that come in pairs.  This competition prep has been different as the scale has been stuck at 122 for WEEKS.   I’ve lowered my calories as low as I’m willing to go, played with my macros, and upped my intensity but it’s just stuck, as of last week it was anyway.  Yes, I haven’t weighed myself since then.  I tell you there IS a God.  Sure, I wish the scale would go down.  I’ll probably always have days where I wish upon the scale but I’m not willing to eat just chicken and veggies for 6 weeks.  I’m just not that hardcore and frankly my sanity means more than losing all the jigglies.  We’ll see how I feel in less than 2 weeks.

Here is the latest picture I took of the The Abbeys a little over a week ago.

The lower Abbeys are really stubborn.  They get cold easy and don’t like to let go of their “blankies”.  We’ll have to see if they make it out of gestation.  My glutes….those are an entirely different animal.  One I don’t know if I’ll ever tame.  Those stubborn stubborn glutes.  It may take a few years but glutes beware I WILL win.

Hugs and High Fives,
