Some Progress Pictures

Hi all friends :)

I thought I would post one or two progress pictures, even though these were taken about a month ago.  It will take some guts for me to post the ones in January when I first started this whole thing, but I probably will after my compitition.  So in these pictures was the beginning of July, I was about 138.

And I thought about doing something like this for my compitition makeup..

Well now I am three weeks out and super excited and motivated! Take care and thanks for reading :)

No Longer a Teen!

Hi All,

I hope everyone had a fabulous fouth of July weekend, I love extra long weekends!  So this weekend we took some photos of me in my bathing suit, and I am about 7 weeks out from my compititon.  I am very pleased with how I look, and very excited and nervous that this Saturday will be six weeks out! I played with some makeup and will post pictures later on what I was thinking. 
So Monday came around and I woke up with this strange knot feeling in my stomach.  I thought it was a little weird so I ate something in hopes of it going away.  I still did not feel better and we still needed to go to the gym.  So I decided to suck it up and try to "work out the sickness."  After doing heaving chest and walking a bit on the treadmill, I still felt sick.   We came home and I threw up and could not keep anything down for the next 24 hours.  I have never had something like that, that lasted that long.  I felt a a little better on my birthday, but of course being sick we stayed home and didn't do anything for the fourth or my birthday.  Maybe next year though!
Anyway, I have slacked a bit in finding a church to go to regularly.  We have tried at least 8-10 churches already, but I will keep searching.  Of course everything is going to look displeasing comparing it to OCAG.  So I ask that everyone pray that we find one and that I don't give up! 

That's all for now, enjoy the rest of the short week!  :)
