Preparing to head out the door this morning for my first coat of JanTana. Lisa was kind enough to get up early (on a day when she doesn't have to go into work until lunch time) to help me. What a sweetie! But first, I'm heading in the shower for one last hair wash, body shave, and body exfoliation.

Had a little surprise visitor yesterday: Aunt Flo. Yup. She came bearing gifts: cramps and moderate flowing. But thankfully, her effects are not permanent. No bloating and very little water retention. And as of this morning, it looks like she's gone for a while.

Last night, I posed for my coach and the gym folks. Great feedback, especially from one gym patron. Many of you who have watched my older posing videos have seen a gentlement working out behind me or beside me. Usually he's walking to the elliptical or grabbing some weights. Well, that's Stu. Stu is a former NPC Judge, and is a very quiet man. He hardly ever says a word, so when he stopped me last night to give me feedback, I was taken aback. He told me how amazing I look this year. Never has he seen someone makes these kind of improvements in such a short amount of time. My glutes have lifted so high, and he says it makes everything more curvy and symmetrical. Last year was good, because I had the posing and stage presence; however, my waist looked larger because my hips had shrunk. This year....well....baby's got back. ;) lol And it looks good.

So I feel amazing this morning. I'm ready to do this thing. God has been so good to me; He's allowed me to learn so much about my body and my mind, what I can handle and what I can't. He's put some fantastic people in my life: my husband, my parents, my children, my inlaws, my coaches, and some amazing friends.


I'll keep everyone posted. I tried setting up mobile blogger, but I couldn't get it done. Having some issues with that. I'll keep trying; but I'll have my laptop, so I will post often.

Taking the kids to grandpa's first, on our way to Charleston. Final check-in is between 5-7 p.m. tonight, so we should make it in plenty of time.

Let's do this!!!
