...Random Wednesday Ramblings...

Happy Wednesday!!! THIS WEEK HAS BEEN GOING BY SO SLLLLLLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW! LoL Seriously ! I am SO SO SO ready for this weekend to get here. I am sure you are wanting to know why (and if you don't want to know why 2 bad because i am about to tell you! LoL) This Saturday i will step on the stage at 11:00 AM to compete in my 2nd Bikini Competition! I have been in training for the past 12 weeks! This means strict diet...no drinking...and for the past 3 weeks i have been doing 2 a days at the gym (early AM cardio PLUS evening cardio and weight lifting) Yes...i have clocked in a lot of hours in the gym this past 12 weeks! And i have LOVED every second of it! If you want to know more about my 1st competition i did back in October of 2012 you can click HERE (more info about bikini competitions) and HERE (more info on the suit i bought) Here is a picture of me on the stage back in October (just 5 months ago!)

i did take about 2 weeks off and then enjoyed Thanksgiving, My birthday, and Xmas.  

But i still stuck to my workouts and still ate pretty healthy. (i did have a few treats while i was at home in Texas.  Mexican food is my WEAKNESS! LoL)

Here is a little example of some of the things i got to eat...

Who says eating healthy and clean has to be bland or boring!

Sorry i had to water mark my images

Found out some ppl on the net were stealing my pictures and claiming them for their own :-/

Plus i am working on a clean eating recipe book for simple, AFFORDABLE, and healthy recipes!

so email me at infinitelifefitness@gmail.com  if you are interested and want a copy!!

I think for this show i will wear the same black suit in the picture above (the orange suite i bought is still a little too snug :-( i think i ordered it one size too small so i still need to work on my legs/butt in order for it to fit the way i want)  I may have my hair the same OR it will be straight.  and i got new jewelry for this show! 

This upcoming show is in St. Louis and it is a PRETTY BIG SHOW!

So i am def nervous and honestly do not expect to place very high since i am new to all of this but i do hope to at least place in the top 10!!

So on Saturday while you are all sleeping in and enjoying your pancakes and bacon have an extra piece for me! LoL

I will get to feast on pizza, chips, and cheese cake late Saturday night and I CAN NOT WAIT!

Mr. Awesome designed a shirt to wear to the competition to support me and it is SO CUTE!

I will for sure post pictures when i have some.

*sigh* well it is time to snack on my chicken breast and asparagus.  

3 more days until i step on the stage!

but more exciting is that in 3 more days i can have a REAL meal! LoL

Happy Wednesday guys!

have a happy and HEALTHY day!

Happy Hump Day!!!

Today is Wednesday and today is the day i share with you the things that have been going on in my life for the past week!!

I VOTED!!! I got to do early voting this year. is your VOICE going to be heard?

relaxing before my fitness competition!!

the competition was a BLAST!

I had SO SO SO Much fun. i met some amazing people and i can not wait to compete again.

I for sure have binged on sugar and carbs but back to training today so back to my strict diet!

Celebration meal AFTER my competition.

me and my gals all met at my FAVORITE place The Drunken Fish...sushi...martinin's...and of course dessert!!

For my competition...

I was in two different divisions

i got 4th place in one division and 5th place in the other division

it was an AMAZING experience   

I met some AMAZING people.  It was so empowering to be around people who have been working SO hard over the past few months.  no one was mean everyone was so up beat and helpful and i enjoyed every second of it! I wish i would have placed in the top 3 BUT with that being my first show i still have SO much to work on and SO much to change before next time. 

I had fun and i can not wait to do it again!

To be honest there were people of ALL ages competing 

The oldest....a 74 year old man with the body of a Greek god! LoL

I kid you not! the only thing that had aged was his hair but he looked amazing and was the life of the party! 

There were also a ton of moms who were in the figure division.

It was just so interesting to see so many different kinds of people that were there

Well i hope you guys are having a good week! 

I know i am a little less stressed out now not having to worry about this show anymore!

I probably wont do another show until early next year BUT i am going to start training NOW so i will be where i want to be! It is "off season" but there is still SO much work i need to do in the gym!

Happy Wednesday guys :-)

Here it is...

the day i have been waiting for....

i FINALLY ordered my bikini for the fitness competition in October!!

i found an amazing company at http://www.suitsyouswimwear.com

they have ALL KINDS of swim wear plus competition swim suits. 

Here is what i got:
***NOTE: ALL of the following images come from the compares site!***

but i got it in this color:

here are some examples form the company website:

yea the pics right here ^^^^^^^^ are kinda scary!
I am still so confident yet so nervous to compete!
This has been such an amazing journey and the changes that i see in my body i am loving!
I even went and bought some new workout clothes/shoes (since my others were slightly 2 big!!)

So far here is my update:
Over the last month i have lost 5 lbs
i have lost a little over 2 inches in my waist
and i have lost about 2% percent body fat
yea talk about awesome! My hard work in the gym is finally showing and paying off!

They say you are suppose to get a color that pops! 

Since i have a nice chocolate color i usually look pretty good in oranges, yellows, or light green.

I did not like the color selection for the yellows and greens...so i chose orange.

I did spend a little extra to get some sparkly attachments

i could have gotten a "ready to order" suit...which is cheaper...but i had one huge dilemma (which is not really a bad dilemma but it does not help...) all the ready order suits has small bikini tops! And i am a little blessed in my chest area.  i wanted to get a suit that would fit comfortably and i did not want to look like my girls were going to jump out while i am on stage!! LoL

So i just dished out the extra bucks for a custom suit.  i hope to be able to wear it for a few different competitions i have signed up for...so i will for sure get my money worth!

What do you guys think!?!

opinions appreciated (positive or negative!)
