Yes, it's an issue of focus and attitude. You have to do an Arnold and feel like you are a king or governor of California. Imagine that. No wonder he used to win all the time.

You are absolutely right. I need to walk up on to that stage and emmanate the presence that I am the biggest and leanest girl up there, even if I'm not. If you don't feel big, you won't show the judges you are big. I guess attitude does have a lot to do with all of this....but I never knew how extremely mental even the smallest detail can be!;)

Close, part of it, is determining, making the decision, WHICH small details to be mental about , and allowing yourself to let go of the other small ones that only zap your emotional energy , at this point in the quest it is about no one but you , you have zero control over how many, how tall, how big and what BF all these other maybe so called competitors will be , so try not to focus on such things

Tommorow I'll post up a relaxation technique that may help .

Enjoy the cardio!

@#$%^*$*!!!!

What a rollercoaster this week has been, and it's just Tuesday!!! Well, for my 1st show, the weight classes are 125-140 for middleweights. We just got my entry form for my state show and get this: THE WEIGHT CLASSES ARE DIFFERENT FROM ALL SOURCES AND PROMOTERS!! WTF!! Last year NPC lightweight was: 118 and below. Middleweight: 118-132. Heavyweight: 132.5- over. My first show, the classes are as follows: Light- 125 and under. Middle- 125.25-140. Heavy- 140 and over. NOW, for the 2nd show here are the weight classes: Lightweight: 114 and below. Middleweight: 115-125 1/4 (I will be 125!!!:D ) Heavyweight- 125.5- over.

Could they confuse everyone anymore?????

[sana]

wtf? that's all messed up :confused:

[Timma]

So then you are a light-middleweight?

[redsquirrel]

bottom of the middleweights (about 128) for the first, and top of the middles for the second...my golden egg! LOL

2 weeks out....

Total caliper pinches: 20 mm.
Weight: 131
BF- 8%!!!!

Well, we're in the home stretch now, kids. I lost no muscle last week, and 2 lbs. of fat. The goal this week is to lose one more %. My BF pinches need to be in the high teens for the 1st show. So, hopefully with the diet changes I can lose 1-1.5 more mm's. Cardio was dropped a little bit, but so were carbs. Protein is where it was. I can see changes in my body daily. I really can't believe how different I look just from Thursday when I took the pics.

I ordered some Yohimbe to help tighten up my glute area for the first show. If it works, great. Hopefully, by the time the 2nd show rolls around, and I benefit from some rebound, my body will respond by losing that part in that area. I also notice that I really am holding on to about 6lbs of water. That makes me somewhat relieved to know that it's not all fat. My abs are getting harder, I'm even seeing some veins in the front delt area!!

I have also noticed that I can barely fit into any of my clothes!! I'm swimming in most of them. I go from being able to wear about 3 pairs of pants to a wearing the stuff I wore 3 years ago!! LOL. It just sucks that you can't stay like this all year round...well, and have a life!

:elephant:

Wishing you all the best!

[redsquirrel]

Thanks, honey!

Well, we leave for Jr's tomorrow morning...I start my first ever carb depletion. For 5 weeks of my diet, I no carbed...meaning NO CARBS, other than 2 meals per week which were all carbs, that's it...SO, I'm kinda used to it. It's so much fun to travel when you're dieting!! NOT. At least we'll be at a show and not some family function with all kinds of naughty goodies around.

I've noticed that I'm not getting nervous yet. When should I expect that to hit? I need to practice posing and get my routine down pat, but most of all I'm just anxious.

Weight this morning: 130.
Pinches have gone down 1 mm so far!!!
I think I may be smokin come time for the 2nd show!!!
My legs are looking stupid freaky, and that's with all the water!!!

Super freak, super freak
That girl's a super freak



Rick James will be singing a tribute to ya in my head all day now. :D

Hmmm...maybe you could do a routine to the song for your next show?


She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl

She likes the boys in the band
She says that I'm her all-time favorite
When I make my move to her room it's the right time
She's never hard to please

(Refrain)
That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazine
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak
I really love to taste her
Every time we meet
She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah
She's a super freak, super freak
She's super-freaky, yow

Super freak, super freak

She's a very special girl
The kind of girl you want to know
From her head down to her toenails
Down to her feet, yeah
And she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends
In a limousine
Going back in Chinatown

Three's not a crowd to her, she says
Room 714, I'll be waiting
When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles
It's such a freaky scene

(Refrain)

(Bridge)

Temptations sing!
Ohhhhh
Super freak, super freak
That girl's a super freak
Ohhhhh

She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl

Blow, Danny!

OMG!! I swear you come up with some of the funniest stuff!! When I put on another 10lbs of muscle, then I'll have the balls to do it to that song!! I changed my song to "Toxic"...by Ms. Spears.

Well, we just got home from Jr. Nat's. I am exhausted. I will never travel a week before a show again. I got all my cardio and meals in, but I felt like a bump on a log. I couldn't go eat with my friends after the show, couldnt go party....just felt like an invalid. Oh well, the reward next weekend will be just as good. 6 more days till I can cheat my face off for a WHOLE DAY!!!

There were some really great female competitors at the show, though. The Lt.Hvy won the overall and she is HUGE! !LOL! She is from Arizona. The MW who won her class did the 3rd show my husband did last year, and she looked pretty good as well. Last year she didn't look so great. Amanda Dunbar got 2nd in her class. Kristi Hawkins got 4th. If those girls' condition would have been dialed in, they would have been nails. I was really looking forward to seeing those girls in shape, though.

Got home, did my pinches. They went down another mm, so my pinches now total 19. I only lost 1 lb., and that's ok for this show. I really only have 2.5 lbs of fat to lose..BF is now down to 7.5%. As long as they keep falling, I don't care what the BF is for the 1st show. Our friends brought their scale with them, and it weighed me a good 4 lbs more than our home scale...COOL!!! I remember sonis saying he thought it was light anyway, so that makes me real happy. I think I may look pretty decent once I put a tan on and water deplete.

this is a great thread.. keep it up rs!
