I have neglected you all SO much!!!! Well, lots to tell you about. I have officially hit my fat limit!!! I cannot take it any more.....I have to start getting lean. This whole "gainer" phase is pushing me over the edge! I am happy to report that I have increased my upper body considerably....but unfortunately the lower body has decided to tag along too:( Nothing fits, and if it does fit- it looks hideous on me (it's my opinion and you can't make me change it!) I was sick last week, but do you think I would actually be lucky enough to lose my gigantic appetite......of course not. (But of course I felt like crap and didn't want to workout!) I have started am cardio on an empty stomach this week. I am starting to clean up my diet a little too. Next week is official "go" time for leaning out for the spring shows. Ok, enough ranting.

I have picked up a couple of clients that are getting ready for contests this spring. I am having so much fun! I love passing along all my wisdom:) These girls are so motivated, and I am excited to see how they do. I am also going to be hosting posing classes locally for all of the girls that are going to compete this spring.

Lifting is awesome! I am still making steady gains in my weight and reps. So much fun!!! I actually started going to a chiropractor last week. It was an interesting experience to say the least:) I was not prepared for how "violent" it feels to be adjusted. Basically, he bent me into a pretzel and gave me a bear hug and then told me to relax....yeah right. I snapped and popped like it was 4th of July! He told me he had never felt joints as tight as mine in my neck. (Good? Bad?) He is starting to work on the constant popping in my shoulders- which he tells me is due to gigantic golf ball size knots in my rear deltoids......gee, lucky me. I never knew someone could make my arm go completely numb just by pushing on the afore mentioned knot. It sounds funny now, but it was definitely not funny at the time. They now know they must put me in the far treatment room, since I screamed "holy shit" loud enough for the whole building to hear it when he triggered the golf ball knot:) I am what I am....and what I am is a potty mouth:) Well everyone, I am going to bed. Where I might add, I have been having the strangest dreams lately. Evidently, I subconsciously want to be pregnant.....3 nights in a row I dreamt of being in labor! Somebody tell me what that means? Take care everyone, train hard- no excuses! Love ya,

Tami
