Finally....getting the log up and going! Thanks, CB, for the extra motivation! 
I've spent the last couple weeks really thinking about my goals and my time lines etc. My main goal (although a general one) is to look smokin hot for my 40th birthday, which is June 2 (mark your calendars LOL).
I also want to compete again in 2012 and there are shows in either June or October. The June show is about 24 weeks out and October would be approximately 41 weeks. Sounds like a long time BUT...I have a lot of work to do. I would need just about every last minute of the 24 weeks to be ready to go in June or I can do it a bit slower and aim for October. I'm still on the fence. One of my realities is just deciding for sure if I will be able to juggle everything. Prep is all consuming and life has been incredibly stressful this year, so I just need to make sure I can logistically do it without sacrificing the well being of those around me and myself.
The short term goal, at the moment, is to do a 4 week period, putting me to January 21st getting my diet/ training organized. I will re-evaluate then where I'm at. I've taken 10 lbs off in the last few months and would like to get another 10 off in that 4 weeks and see where I need to focus and be realistic about the time frame.
I'll be posting details of my diet and training as I go. I'm currently doing a bit of trainer shopping. There's a couple guys I'd like to work with to do my diet but...they are well known natty guys and I'm not sure they'll take me on. We shall see!!
