June competition preparation..

[Thandie]

if you created one of those guessing games like they have in carnivals and theme parks...a guess my age game. you'd make alot money b/c there's no way anyone is going to guess right!

Yeah i was shocked when i heard she was 52, but NEWLY 52 right?

Thank you both!
Yeap, most people are shocked to know I'm 52. You're righ OneBreath, just turned this month. Many times people want to see ID. It's very funny!
Then most women, of course tell me I should lie about my age and I tell them Why? I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Quite the opposite! You should be exceedingly proud!!!

Can't wait to see the pics.

TWO weeks!!!

Fab, can't wait to see the pics.

I love that you are also prepping, you are my inspiration.

It also keeps me posting my prep even when I am tired.

Here are some pictures I had taken today.
I still look really flat. I'm so dissapointed! I haven't been doing enough cardio, not enough water and not filling up fast enough. Although, filling up now would not be a good idea since I still have two weeks to go.
I'll have to work really hard now, tired or not..

I don't know how you have managed your calories or rest at this point so far, but is obvious that your body is having stress to bare all the competition prep, you can increase your rest time or spa time, get a nap at the middle of the day.

Regarding the intensity of your training and cardio, how have you managed that so far?

The eating part for me is really very easy. And so is the training. However, cardio is hmm! iffy. I believe you can do everything you want to. I get up at 4:30am, at the gym by 6am. From 8am when I'm getting ready for my day. I basically run a business, run a charity, I go to school, have 3 events per week and some dinner parties at home, have two little dogs to care for, run a household. train for the comps, Then all the things I need to do somewhere in between. How do I do it? I don't really know. But, it gets done.
I get massages as often as I can because it helps, but its hard to get them in. However, somehow I manage to get them all in. Now, if I had someone to stretch me daily, that would make a huge difference, but I don't have that.

Oh, regarding the intensity of my training and cardio; I love training, thankfully! It's just a matter of getting up and doing it. What most people don't realize is that once you start and get going, the tireness goes away.
Cardio, I've been doing 4 times a week (30 minutes session). I should be at least 5 times and one afternoon by next week. The good thing about being consisting with the diet is that you don't have to do that much cardio and you look good all year round.I've been looking like this for about 10 years. I just want to add some muscles at this point. I'm hoping to accomplish that after this show. Someone recommended a great creatine that will hopefully do that.

1 week to comp. Doing cardio just once a week and probably next week as well. I've been very busy and enjoying fashion week, but I'll get it done..

Calves and 30 minutes cardio today. 105.4lbs
