Progress Report Time!!!!! I am doing well in my training.....I feel like I have stalled out a little- so Pete is putting together a new diet for me as we speak:) I am maintaining my shoulders and back really well.....but I am also retaining a big fat ass too:) Just kidding, I am always my worst critic. I am carrying a lot of fat and water on my thighs and lower butt. The biggest reason I need to lean out quick is because it is really hard to throw my routine with this extra 5 lbs on my lower body. I just feel like I am weighted to the ground some days:)

I want to take this moment to wish Tanji a HUGE good luck hug for this weekend!!!! She is competing at the Arnold tomorrow....and I hope she kicks butt! She is finally starting to get her due rewards after many of years of hard work! Pray hard and work harder.....that is Tanji's way of thinking:) You go girl!!!!

Well, I am 6 weeks out from the NY Pro tomorrow!!!! I will be guest posing at the Vancouver Natural in 4 weeks......I get to hang out with my buddies Michelle Mayberry, Michelle Anderson, and Allison Malone! Michelle M is judging the contest, and Michelle A and I are helping back stage- we always have a total blast! (Oh, and I can't forget my adorable little friend Trish- I think she will be there???:) Allison is one of my former clients who moved to Vancouver- so she is working with Michelle Anderson now... I will be rooting for her to win her class!:) My cousin, Sherry will be in the 5'7" height class- she is freakin ripped up already! She is smokin hot at 42, mother of 5, and grandmother of 2!!!!! I am so proud of her! We have been working on posing together every Sunday:)

I am awaiting my new suits from Christine Marsh any day now....she is super busy this week with the Arnold- I will probably get them early next week. They are going to be gorgeous!!! I have all my jewels ready to put on as soon as I get them.

Well, I must go to bed.....I have not slept well the last few nights. My jack russell "child" Tobi had puppies a week ago today. They are the most beautiful puppies that I have ever seen- anyhow, they have been kinda vocal the last few nights. So, I haven't had any really "sound" sleep. I am wiped out tonight. Take care everybody.......train hard- no excuses!!! Love ya,

Tami
