Whatever Your Doing, Its Working! 17 Weeks Out!!

This is what people keep telling me in relation to my legs! I have had like 9 separate people come up to me and tell me that my legs have totally changed and whatever I am doing keep doing it because it’s working! I have been answering REALLY?! THANK YOU! To them all. Now I can see it too!

I tell them my coach knows her stuff, then I grab them by the arm and say with wide eyes…OMG… the leg workouts… BRUTAL… I have no words LOL.  True Story.

I am 17 weeks out and need to start posing practice! I have been crazy busy training people or myself or prepping food, and just trying to keep up with everything. Plus lots of drive time.

I also need to permanently decide on my music pretty soon for my routine. I choose something and then second guess that choice and choose something else, its hard I want it to be awesome.

My upper body is getting leaner, I am definitely losing fat but that scale is not moving which is good! J

I am having mini panic attacks every other day, wondering if I will be ready. Its like sitting there… “Oh! I need to start posing!” Start freaking out, get distracted…… forget. Later: “OH! I really need to choose my music!!” start pacing, and thinking about that, get distracted……. forget. haha.

 Outside Hobbies 

So I did Warrior Dash last weekend. That was a blast. We got into the starting area, right under the START sign where they blow the fire out. We were the next wave to run but they kept telling us, just 15 more minutes, just 20 minutes etc because they were checking to make sure the river wasn’t too deep, and that the course was safe.

Then it started to rain, great big wet drops, and we were like ahh yeah at least were already wet when we go to get in the water, then it started HAILING!! Like ½ golfball size chunks of ice hitting us in the head, neck, back and on our knuckles. Someone grabbed the netting on the fence and pulled it over our heads like a shelter we had to try and hold it up high enough that it was off our heads because the hail was hitting us through the netting because our heads were too close, it really hurt! We all had welts.

That finally stopped and there we all were like cattle in the starting gate and we had to wait ANOTHER hour and 15 minutes, soaking wet and shivering. They told us to go have a snack but we would have lost our place at the font of the line, and the line was ridiculously long. Our wave was at 2:30 and the people at the back didn’t look like they were going to get to run till near dark if at all.

So we waited. Meanwhile were standing in ice water and our feet are numb and our legs are cramping. Everyone was in good spirits though. FINALLY they let us go and we could hardly run our feet and legs were numb and felt like lead, but we had adrenaline on our side so we took off as fast as we could.

The rain made the course super muddy and watery, and we kept falling in holes we could not see, DEEP holes that went up to our knee and sometimes thigh, and then we would faceplant. It was hilarious.

The hardest part was trying to run through water and mud, the obstacles were not as hard as I thought they would be. We finished and got our medals. I changed my shirt but left my wet pants on because I couldn’t be bothered changing them and we headed home.  I REALLY wanted pizza, like so bad I was nearly in tears I was super hungry. I had a banana and a turkey leg, and then had my meals but made a pizza at home with 2 Mountain Bread wraps and veggies and chicken, no cheese( of course) So I had a little too many carbs but I didn’t crack and have pizza, so it’s a win in my book ;P

I would totally do it again.  All my attention and focus is on the competition now!

Until next week!
