UGLY NUMBER.....

I woke up and got on the scale and whoa.....UGLY NUMBER!! So, better cool it on the junk and keep things in check. I am over my 135 goal for maintenance and I have not even really started my vacation yet. So I will up my cardio a bit to get things back in order.



I just finished eating an apple. It tasted so good. Now I am hungrier than ever. Fruit just makes my appetite go through the roof....some fruits worse than others. Apples are by far the worst fruit for me. As much as I love them they make me super hungry.

I am also being a bad mom because I am currently at a volleyball game and I just had to walk out the third and final game. Yes my daughter is playing, but I am so frustrated watching the mistakes that I can hardly contain my mouth. When I get like this, I start shouting things out to the team like...come on back row did the dang ball....and this attitude does not help the team at all. So I am sitting in my car as they play their last and final game. Hopefully they win it. Grrrr...... I will let ya know if they win.

I have been a volleyball mom for years....I mean years. I have spent well over twenty grand on traveling volleyball through the years. My youngest is not into traveling volleyball like my other two girls were but she is playing on her high school team.

Well, I just asked one of the moms who just walked out who won the game. Looks like we won.

My daughter comes out to the car with a mean look on her face...Mom you missed one of my best games ever!!! Why did you leave? I said I left out of respect for you and your team. She thought about the previous games and smiled and said, that was unselfish of you. I did start to hear you yelling at the back row. Thanks mom for leaving.

One hour later.....Erica is all dressed up to go to a quincietta that she is part of. From uniform to this in 35 minutes




I just popped some chicken breasts smothered in cream of chicken soup with brown rice in the oven. In the mean time I am going to make me a yummy Optimum Nutrition Cake Batter shake to tie me over until the chicken is done. I am starvin marvin....but in remembrance of the number on the scale, I shalt not partake in alot of non nutritious fat laden calories today.

Then it is off to the gym to do the training that I was supposed to do yesterday but did not do.

See ya tomorrow!

The Weekend is here!!!!

The weekend!!! Yes!! I have not been on my diet at all, shame on me. I am just going to consider this a 2 week diet break ....this week and next and try to keep my weight around 135.

This week has been good so far. Much better than last week. I plan to train tonite. I will do another full body workout. I plan to switch things up. Going to hit the back with dead lifts and hit the legs with some squats and lunges. I will throw in some pushups and pull ups.

I don't have alot to talk about in regards to training and nutrition so I thought I would talk about my 4 beautiful children.

Kathy is my eldest. She is 23 years old and has blessed me with my beautiful grand daughter Karmen. In the first picture she is holding her kid, in the second picture she is holding Jessica's baby. In the 3rd picturenshe is with her fiancé.









Nick is 21 and my only boy!






Jessica is 19 and has blessed me with my grandson Cameron. In the second picture she is with her husband and Cameron.






My fourth child...the baby is my Erica. She is 15 years old, but she thinks she is 20....grrrr.





Don't I have a beautiful family? I am blessed indeed!

Eye Candy for the boys and girls....

Ok....enough is enough Annette. I have used the holiday as an excuse not to get back at it. I have been off plan Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. It is time to stop my madness. I don't have a reason why I am not back only diet. I could sit around and tell myself that I deserve a break because I had a challenging week emotionally. I could tell myself that having a few days off my diet won't hurt. Even worse I could dwell on my lack of discipline and continue to stuff my face all day. Even worse, I can stay home watching tv.
The best thing I can do is stop eating the crap right now, not worry about it anymore and do better tomorrow.

I am writing after stuffing my face with a McDonald hamburger and fries. i feel like crap.....very nauseated. That stuff is so bad for me. Why did I eat that crap....YUK!!!




Now isn't that chicky cute? Beautiful body for sure. She came in second in the North American Championship in Cleveland, Ohio this past weekend. She is adorable.




The winner above was amazing. She placed first. Both girls earned their pro cards!

My beautiful friend and her handsome hubby competed in this contest and they both looked super amazing as well.the competition was super duper strong.




There's my girl Christian! Isn't she stunning!! She is the sweetheart who is letting me borrow one of her contest suits if I decide not to buy one. This is the girl who leg presses about 800 pounds. She lifts super heavy and she is the girl that I about fell out with my mouth hanging open when I first walked in the gym and saw her doing crazy monster leg presses. I never forget that day. I was visiting the gym she trains in. Most girls don't lift worth a crap...ummm I mean heavy. I am usually the bad ass in the gym haha at least in my local gym. I was training legs and went over to the leg press when she finished. I smiled with confidence and she asked me, how many plates do you want me to take off? Lol....I think she had the hundred pound weights on each side in addition to3-4 sewer lids on each side. The sled itself weighs at least 90 pounds. I told her she could leave both hundred pound plates on the press. I NEVER STARTED OFF AT 290 POUNDS....but My ego got the best of me...lol. I did 10 reps and then I added 2 more 45 pound plates...which was an all time high for me and I did that for 8 reps then I added 2 more plates and did that for 6. I was hyped after I did that. I did not even know I could press that much weight and I felt like a million bucks until the next morning. I knew I was in trouble when I started getting muscle soreness the same night of the workout. I woke up the next morning really sore and day 2....I SWEAR TO GOD I COULD BARELY WALK. every time I had to get up, it was excruciating soreness. I went to work, and I taught my kickboxing classes after taking 800mg of motrin and prayed to God I could make it through teaching the class. I did just fine, but suffered greatly the next 5 days...lol. That was my introduction to Christian...my shero!!

I bought a membership to the gym and saw Christian a week or so later. She seemed to be training with this big hulk looking dude. She came up to me and introduced herself and I asked her who that hulk looking dude was that she trained with....assuming he was her trainer. I found out that his name was not Hulk...but Micheal and he is her hubby.







Eye candy, eh??? Hahaha

They both did well and I am proud of both of them. They are both super sweet people who are so encouraging and helpful to me. And what a beautiful couple indeed.

Now, after looking at all the above beautiful people should I not be motivated to eat chicken breast and egg whites....lol? Time to get my butt to the gym.

You attract people who appreciate and support you. Because you mix well with others, social occasions are happy events. Relax and enjoy the abundance of life; you are in a period when the breaks should go your way. Have trust-especially in your friends and in what you love. While today offers a pleasurable interlude, you can experience even greater satisfaction in giving to others your time as well as your resources.

Lol, don't ya just love horoscopes. (Not that I believe in horoscopes anyway, but I do read them for kicks). So according to my horoscope today I should be happy, happy, happy. I should be attracting people who support me, huh? Things should be going my way today, eh!!!! Today should be pleasurable and I should give others my time and resources....right?

WHATEVER!!!!!!!! This day sucks!!!!!! I am about to make me some ccozy chamomile tea, ice it. I plan to drink some of it and then go to the gym for a nice long cardio session to help me feel better. My day started off horribly and has not gotten any better yet. The picture above kinda describes my mood right now! Things will get better.






My refeed yesterday was pretty good...actually really good compared to last weeks. I wanted to mention at least one good thing that has happened!

A Review of the past 4 weeks.....

August has come and gone and now it is time to evaluate my progress. The UD2 diet is working but looking  however I will have to use detail measurements to truly evaluate if I am heading in the right direction. Looking at the stats listed below I will need to make some changes in the month of September.

I will need to increase my overall protein intake to a daily average of 140 grams and look at getting my daily carb average to less than 140 grams. I need to keep my daily average fat grams to 50 grams.

I am going to have to tighten up my weekend splurges to accomplish this and keep my daily protein at a minimum of 140 grams a day every day.

I have 15 weeks and 5 days before the competition. According to the website they changed the date to November 20, 2011. I am planning a vacation in from September 10th through the 18th. I am flying to Utah to see a friend perform in a the broadway production of A Little Mermaid and then we are driving to Vegas for 4-5 days (depending when we decide to leave Utah) in time to catch the 2011 Olympia Weekend. I am going to take a diet break during the vacation.
