Sassy Round 2: Fit for Figure

[scorpiogirl]

Damn, Sass!!! Those are AWESOME!!!! ....and it's so refreshing to see that someone can actually get the protan even on body AND face!!! lol

I think when I get to 8% - I'll be a shorter scale of you (with a little less muscle as of now). We seem to have a very similar body type. Well, at least I know what I could (and will) look like...right!?!?!?! lol

GREAT PICS!!!

The protan was done w/ an airbrush - I might suggest doing the body paint that way by get a good makeup artist to do your face. The thing is that the next day the protan started to flake off my face just like it does on your body. The problem was that I had a photo shoot the next day & it was pretty obvious that my face was falling off.

Yay! I am now the happy owner of a World Gym membership.

I also have an inflamed rotator cuff...

But there's a chiropractor / massage therapy place right next to Worlds

 

[scorpiogirl]

Enjoy that membership! I'm a little jealous!!! lol

I killed the photos in my gallery for privacy purposes - here's a couple pix from an old thread. I may kill this in a few days as well, but until then:

I'm in awe Sassy! You're quite an inspiration...

Hey girl!
I had to start laughing... You skipping around the movie theatre watching all these other movies. Pretty funny. I know what you mean by stress. I think we all are feeling it. Take it easy over the Holidays and enjoy yourself!

LOL I don't go to movies that much, but there are a bunch of good ones and I really wanted some popcorn (no butter...) Esp if I end up going by myself I need to add a little adventure to it - that comes in the form of picking at least one movie I want to see and then as I go in, scope out the times & the theater layout to determine what I'd have to do to sneak into another show. I almost did 3 shows on Sunday but they stopped the show schedule a little earliier than usual. Harry Potter would've been show 3.

OK so I get to the new gym tonite (after I got my nails done of course...!) Gotta do legs because I have an inflamed somethign in my rotator cuff. That means no upper body anything for few days. Going back to the chiro on Thurs to get a last check and then driving down to the 'rents place on Friday. I was really stoked today because I found a website that sells a bunch of different kinds of little glass elephants - my mom collects them & I haven't been able to find any just looking in stores over the last few yrs. She puts them on the xmas tree and she said that these were the only ornaments she kept out for their little tree at the new condo - everything else is on storage. So she should be getting a box on Fri I think (I hope)... I'm just really happy w/ the stuff I got everyone for xmas. This includes a package of 5 whoopie cushions for my brother. I'm sure I'll be at the top of my sister-in-law's shit list once she see that. He's gonna start messing w/ his kids (age 2.5 & 4) and you know what happens when you teach little kids (esp boys) funny things like farts. (OHOH!)

So I go to the gym tonite. Do legs. Nothing to heavy & everything still works. As I'm doing lunges, this one trainer starts telling me how great lunges are & that I should add some weight. I'm like, I'm getting there - just getting back into it. Then I explain that I've been out of the gym for 4 months, interested in competing again in Feb. This guy has some experience w/ competition training (though probably not specific to Figure...) and he specializes in core strength & balance stuff. So i got his number, told him my goals & we're going to start training next Thurs after I get back from the holidays. I'm damn excited. This is going to be a lot of stuff like BOSU training, balance, core strength & ab work. Wohoo! Somethign totally different. The diet I may make some of my own modifications but the reality I need to drop 20 lb & about 10% bf in 8 weeks. Even if I dont' get there, I need to get my shit in order for the Arnold Classic.

Not sure if I'm going to keep this log or start a new one, but because I expect the training is goign to be totally diff from my usual. Gotta see what this guy can do & also review my other resources for how to approach it all. But anyway - NEW LIFE!

Awesome! 20 lb in 8 wks! Teach me how!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! This is great!! By the way, would anyone on here know any excellent trainers in SW FL? Naples FL????? How do I go about finding one? Sass, you seem to get all the cool trainers!! Can I borough one?? LOL

 

[Sassy69]

LOL -- if and when I find out, you will also see...

All the cool trainers -- um yea. I've had a couple good ones, one who screwed w/ my mind and one complete whack job. I pick up a few things from all of them, but you have to endure the idiosyncracies of the industry as well.

As far as SW DL -- there's a great guy I think named Tim Gardner - he's up in Tampa and I believe he promotes the Hurricane Bay NPC BB show. That particular show gets lots of kudos as just a really quality show and he is good people. His wife competes in figure I believe. I've never met them, but I do hear great things from people who work with them.

If you don't have access to him, the best way to find a trainer is by word of mouth. Ask at your gym. It also depends on your goals - my goals since I've hired trainers have been specifically to compete. I can train myself at this point, but there are finer points to competition that I like to learn and it just keeps me a lot more focused. I tend to have a hard time doing things that arent' hardcore and to the point. If you are looking for someone for competition, you can also start by contacting your state NPC chair. In FL the guy to talk to is Peter Potter (he's in Ft. Lauderdale). Or look at the NPC News Online website (www.npcnewsonline.com) & see what shows are scheduled for 2006 in your area, contact the promoter and see if they can recommend someone.
