Let's Have A Quickie!

A quickie update....that is... :)

Greetings from California! Tom and I made the drive to Anaheim today - our first official road trip! The trip took longer than anticipated because I had to stop & pee every 2 seconds...lol! We enjoyed good music, random conversation, food & snacks (boiled chicken, rice cakes, & asparagus for me....McDonald's, Carl's Jr, Sour Patch Kids, and sunflower seeds for him), and a surprise phone call from The Princess.

I'm waiting for my 2nd coat of tanner to dry so while I wait, I figured this would be a perfect time to update you!

This peak week did NOT go as smoothly as I would have liked. I'm sure you recall my angry suit post - that anger & stress dominated the first part of my week - it was really hard to stay focused on my work, family, cardio, and workouts. But I was incredibly happy that I could let the anger & stress go yesterday morning. I'll give you all of the details in my show recap/review.

Tom helped me make it through my last workout yesterday morning- he kept a close eye on me at the gym because he knows how I am & when the plan says "60% - 70% intensity", I will do 90%. I made it a point to bring my show shoes with me to the gym so I could use the super-size mirrors in the aerobics room to practice posing. Here's a pic that Tom took -



When I finished my last cardio session last night, I walked into the house and shouted "Cardio for this prep is DONE!!!" That was an incredible feeling - no more cardio for the next few days - can I get a "Holla!"??!? :)

I'm exhausted but full of excitement - I'm going to attempt to get some sleep!

I hope your day was a good one!
