We're getting down to the wire baby!!! So much happens in the last 3 weeks before competition. Frequent diet changes, endless routine run throughs, tanning, posing practice, the list goes on and on:) Christine has my suits done and should be mailing them either today or tomorrow......then the fun begins- I love to jewel them! I have been waiting for my cat suit for 7 weeks now.....they finally tell me today that they haven't been able to get the wet look black fabric to make it- but promise me that it will be mailed tomorrow......I'm a little concerned- but I also know that I could probably borrow one from Tanji if I need to.

My cheat meal on Sunday was at my favorite place on earth.......Olive Garden!!! It was heavenly. I ate 2 servings of Tiramisu- oh my God....words cannot express how good it was:) Sherry (my cousin who is competing in Vancouver) and I went to Portland to get some special stage makeup, then a quick workout at 24 hr fitness in Clackamas, then went right next door to Olive Garden......how convenient:)

I am maintaining all of my muscle (per the body comp results weekly), and losing fat (so it says), but as always- all I ever see is how far I have to go:) I hate my little bit of lower back fat, and butt crack fat......I don't know if I will ever have a visible glute-ham tie in! Maybe at 2% bodyfat! Oh well, we have to work WITH our genetics.....everyone has their pros and cons about their body. I was blessed with good symmetry but small shoulders and crack fat:) ha ha ha

At the moment, I am watching American Idol.....can I just say that I LOVE Blake from Seattle! He is just SO different, and very talented! I am a reality TV junkie. I love American Idol, Survivor, The Girls Next Door (so hilarious!), Amazing Race, Dancing with the Stars.......the list goes on and on. TIVO is a god send:) It allows me to watch them while I do my cardio.

OH, I almost forgot to mention that I might be working the Labrada Booth at Emerald Cup on Saturday April 21st. I will let you all know when I find out for sure. It should be a ton of fun!Come by and say Hi! Maybe I will have lots of samples to give out:)

Well everyone, time to prepare my meals for tomorrow. Train hard, no excuses! Love ya,

Tami
