A contest? yes please, yes please...yes please?!

So...I entered the bodybuidling.com body transformation contest several weeks ago, and so far so good...with the exception of the training I'm getting, but I'll get to that.

Today I got word of this competition here:

(anyone can enter!!! GO DO IT!!!!!)

buffmother.com is run by Michelle Berger who wrote the book hormonal timing. This book is ingenius when it comes to female cycles and how to lose weight quickly. I LOVE her book, and her ab book as well. Never heard of it? get it! Its eye opening the information she gives about how to work with our bodies not against. most gym *routines* are designed for men that dont cycle...Michelle shows you how to get past that and get the results you want.
She also has a great private website where any woman can join and get commradery and accountability. I love it! I've been a part of it for almost 2 months now and I've learned a lot and been encouraged even more. Anyway she is now holding a competition for a 10 week transformation...so yeah I'm in! lol I'd love to win and get a chance to meet her, ...she is a mama of 4 her last set being twins, she is a blessing and a huge encouragement to me as a mom of many who wants to stay fit, look and feel good.

So back to training...I've been having problems with the trainer i'm working with. he's a great guy, I have no problems with him, he is just not understanding my goals in terms of body transform. He is under the impression that if I lift heavy all the time I'll bulk up....well the truth is your muscles swell for yes a couple of days but when you cut the fat on top of them you get a lean fit look. I can't lift enough to make myself look like the incredible hulk, or arnolds twin brother....and I won't turn into a DUDE lol! I'm trying to help him understand but he still thinks I need to lift less weight more reps. I will say that tonight he hit me hard on upper body, which I loved...I know I'll be sore the nbext 2 days and thats exactly what I should be. I have no fears because I have 2 amazing products at my finger tips...Advocare post recovery shakes and nighttime recovery tablets. My 2 little saving workout graces.

I'm excited...my core is getting really tight, and my legs are shrinking again, ah the loooooove! <3 :)

And the third thing I'm doing right now is the 24 day challenge...the funny thing is my trainer will probably grade me on weight (which is hilarious because I started this bootcamp with him 4 lbs HEAVIER than I ended the last camp but I'm over 2 sizes smaller haha!! ) and then inches...but the 24 DC goes more on inches. I don't have much more to lose in certain areas, but def have some to lose in others so I'm anxious to see.

3 contests...what a way to start off the new year?! And the beautiful thing is Advocare is making it all possible...I would never have the energy to do all this if it weren't for Advocare products, they have and are still changing my life each and every day.
Thats all for now Gotta go get my post workout shake in ;)
