Sean,

Thank-you for the words of encouragement!!! I think it'll be fun for figure to have it's own night, I can't wait!!

It's gonna be my hardest comp prep ever. I'm basicly doing this by myself with the exception of Dr. Joe's nutrition, so i have to focus extra hard to push myself as hard as i need to. I'll do it though!

Hi Shellie!

Here is the latest...... 

 

 

I have a lot to catch up on here as far as workouts and such.

I think i last posted that i was gonna do a shoulder chest workout at home, well, it sucked, so i went the next day to the gym and got 'er done. I really had to squeeze it in, but shoulders are gonna be crucial for competing.
I can't remember all the details of that workout since i'd forgotten my workout log that day, but I nailed these babies and it felt amazing!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

I have a date!!!..........For the Liberty show, that is!

I contacted the promotors of that show via e-mail and............

April 18th is Figure and the 19th is the BBing...I'll only be doing figure!

Whoooooooooohoooooooo!!! A confirmed date to mark on my calendar!!!

April 18th is C-Day!

Thanks Shellie, I'll be looking forward to it!

Guess who I'm having dinner with tomorrow....Jenny!!! I'm so excited to her!

Today's report is that it has been a stressful day, with my job , my appointment with my lawyer for the Pre-settlement/trial visit. Whether it's trial or settlement is up in the air and i'll know for sure Monday. I sooooo just want this settled, but we'll see.....UGH!!!

Then more bad news a few minutes ago.

I'm going forward with my shoulders tonight, i'm just gonna do them from home today. I'll report on that later.

The good news is that i have my plan from Dr. joe and have gotten back on track with my food and am so looking forward to competing in the spring....My passion and zest is back, so I find myself dealing with the stress of today better. 

That was funny!!...Needed that right now too, it's been a rough day!

P.S..Is your name Dan, for some reason that's stuck in my head, if not, what is your actual name? 

Unfortunately i won't be ther Funda, i wish i was, but i have to work all weekend...grrr.....

Thanks for the leg workout kudos! I'm still in shock by how much strength i have lost...muscle memory, though right!? I'm hoping....... 

Glad they are doing fine, and hoping it stays that way.

Great job on the cardio! 

It totally came across that way, and i truly understand that. I'll be prying like crazy for her and for you too.

I think everything you are going through is cvompletely normal and i'm sure everyone here understands.

Take care of you and your sis! Priorities are everything. 

Hi Kristen,

I just saw your progression pics and you have done an amazing job!

I'll be rooting you on to your first figure comp, way to go!!! 

Hi Sean,

Long time no talk, what's the latest? 

Funda,

you workouts are jawdropping..Wow!! 

Ewww.......Sean, that is disgusting!!

Shellie, good job on getting the carpets clean..I LOVE when my floors are clean, it's like if the floor looks good, the whole room looks good. 

LMTO!!! 

$1700 for a class ring...Holy moly!  I'd go with the lustrium too!

Hi Shellie!

My e-mail should still be the same.....  tgoodman@alltel.net  I haven't recieved any e-mails from you, but i also had some issues where e-mails weren't coming through. Everything seems to be fine now though. Feel free to e-mail me anytime, and that goes for everyone here!

Thanks for the kind words too. I'm relieved to be doing better as well. This whole process REALLY took a toll on me for a while, and i'm finally at an entirely different place now.

I would love for you to come and see me in liberty...SO MUCH!!!! and believe me, i'll need all the help I can get now that i'm by myself! We'll have to chat.

Funda,

It's so great to hear from you too!!! Yeah, life can shure be a doozy sometimes, but what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger..right!? That's whereI am now, stronger than ever and ready to take on the world!

I WILL get that pro-card!!!! Whooooohooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the cheering on!

BTW..Shellie and Funda, you both look AMAZING!!! WOW!!!

**********************************************************************************

Here's my leg day from last night....

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sore today and getting sorer by the hour...I can hardly walk and haven't felt this since my leg workout with Dr. Joe! LMTO!!!  Whooooohoooooooo!!! Nothing like feeling like a cripple the day after a great leg day!

OMG!!!OMG!!!! OMG!!!!!!! It's official i'm  starting back with the doc as of today!!!!!!!! He thinks i'll have plenty of time to get stage ready for April as long as i kick some seriously booty in the gym!!!

The one huge BBer at my gym, named Tony, just happened to be there last night and decided to run me through a seriously, painfully brutal leg workout ...I have NO idea how i made it through!!! I am so thankful to him for running me through it, he's determined to help me put some size on my quads.

Smith Squats Variation 1

A whole new variation Tony had me do...... Heels on weight plate, bench behind me, thighs/legs together. I was to squat to touch my butt to the bench, pause, and come back up....Holy moly, this targeted my quds very strongly as well as my glutes.

50 x 15
60 x 15
70 x 12
80 x 12...Ha Tony walked over and realized i was taking this too easy, he promptly started loading more weight each set until i was doing a total of 165 for my last 2-3 sets, with a total of 4 more sets of 10-12 added to what i had already done.

He then stripped off all but two 25 lb plates and had my finsh off with a burnout set....He's pretty brutal, but I love it!!!


Smith Squat Variation 2
Now the bench was removed, my heels still stayed on the weight plate but were almost completely together and toes very turned out, ballerina style.

By this point, i was just fighting for my life, so i don't have a clue what weights we used.
I do know it was 4 or 5 sets of 10-12 reps. Man he wasn't cutting me any slack, and boy was my face UGLY!!! He was great though and kept reminding me to breathe and look up.

More Squats!!!

This time he grabbed an EZ curl bar loaded it up with weight...no idea how much.

I was then doing front squats with an easy bar while he stood in front of me and his buddy kept time. We started with me being timed for 15 secs, but he decided that was too easy on me, and moved it to 30 seconds. i had to squat very low and come up half way as quickly as i could but ubder complete control.

He kept stripping weight off each set and we did like 5 sets of however many i could get ion the 30 secs per set.

Obviously it just kept getting tougher, even though weight was getting stripped off!
At one point we finished a set, and i collapsed onto my back! I also felt soo nauseous!! Of course all the guys gathered around thought it was funny!! Glad i could entertain!!

Leg Extensions-unilateral

You are gonna laugh...These were with 10 fricken' pounds!!! It felt like 100!!! He had me doing just one leg at a time and foot flexed and holding up top...My quad muscle was so tight and almost crampy and burning...I was making the ugliest faces i have ever made, and he kept pushing me through to get all 10-12 reps. I eventually just had to explode them up and when it was just too much, he assisted me.

We did about 5-6 sets!!

I thought that was it, but...............

Leg presses!

He put on 25's and I said, there is NO way, so he pulled those off!! I had just walked over to the leg press and my legs just kept giving out badly!

It was just the 100lbs of the machine and legs to chest

4 sets of 10-12 super-setted with calf raises on the same machine.


He'd assist when my legs didn't want to push and put more weight on with his hand on the press plate for the calves.

I could hardly even walk out of there.

I got alot of funny looks but as brutal as that was, man, it felt wonderful!!!!!!!!!

I then headed to my hair appointment at 7pm and am thrilled! I have a new hair lady who's a friend of a friend who does my blonde super cheap for me and it's my best blonde ever...the lightest too, but just a perfect shade for me! Guess it'll have to be pic time this week!! I LOVE it, nobody ever got it like this!

Alright enough rattling on here..i'm pumped can ya tell!

Well hello strangers! Remember me!? :)

I have been communicating with Dr. Joe and am rejoining Team K and am ready to rock and roll!! 

Many of you know I have been going through a divorce, things are soon to be finalized and i'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, am rebuilding, regrouping and moving forward once again with my life.

This has been the hardest, hardest time of my life with LOT's of stress and adjustments.I have gone through what feels like a tornado and rollercoaster all wrapped in one and honestly some days couldn';t even finction, because the stress was just that overwhelming and all consuming. So many days i had no idea how i was even going to stay on my feet in fact don't know how i did as I literally felt like i was going to fall over. Some how, I HAD to keep going, although sometimes I felt like I wanted to quit, just give up, but knew i couldn't. I have kids and i'm not a quitter any way.

 I get all choked up just typing this. The range of emotions i've gone through through all of this, i was not prepared for, but deep down, there is joy and peace, and hope always left me able to persevere through all the really rough times.

Yes there are still rough days, but i'm better able to cope now. Being a single mom, is super hard! Wowie, Zowie!! I love my kids so much though and wouldn't trade being their mom for anything!! 

Well prepping to compete again, may seem crazy, but I MUST do this. I want to be a figure Pro so badly, and cannot let go of that dream and goal. Even my kids have been riding my a** for getting back to this! LMTO!! They really want to see their mom do this thing! Bless their hearts! I know i'll have their support through all this and they are EXCELLENT food police!

So with that I'm back at it. Training was extremely sporadic through this ordeal, and eating good some days and pretty bad other days.

My weight is fluctuating between 100 and 102.4 pounds currently and i'm pretty sure my surgery added an extra pound or two to me...LOL!!! I should hear from Joe and what we'll be shooting for, i'm sure a long way from my 86-87 pound past  comp weight!

I'll post up my most recent workout here shortly and will be working my legs this evening.

Oh yeah and i'm shooting for the Southern States Classic in April(NANBF show) If i'm not ready though, i'll hold off until fall.

LOL!!! Thanks Sean! I love my new "girls".....I hate the dark hair though, I can't wait to change it back! I also am working to get a tad bit leaner than i am there as well. I think the stress has done a number on my metabolism and i'm working to get it revving again.

I agree about the shelf too, I can't wait to add a Procard to the collection! My biggest trophey is actually right next to the shelf since it doesn't fit!

Hi Shellie,

No comps this fall, but i will next spring. I'm not sure on the house yet, probably not, as he filed personal bankruptsy and included the house, which is supposed to be forclosed on and it's super stressful as i haven't got money to move and for why, I won't go into as i'm hoping that changes. It's a been a really rough time for me.

Sean,

That's TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!  No plane ride for me any time soon though as I am really struggling finacially right now...maybe things will change soon, we'll see..........

O.K Guys here's a recent pic of me....................Post BA......................

 I did get a whim a darkened my hair, but hate it and will be taking it back to blonde asap!!

Hi Fellow Team K friends!

 Things have hit such a major bump in the road for me, that at times the stress has been absolutely overwhelming. I was still getting to the gym but only about once a week and some weeks not at all, depending on how bad things were. I realize it may have been therapuetic once i got there, but i just felt like i couldn't function...still do at times. 

Well, I have learned alot in the situation i'm in and it's been ROUGH...BUT.......I am locked and loaded and ready and prepared for what is coming at me...not completely, but I have to be no matter what.....so this whole saga is continuing and I'm looking forward to the end of it.

I am back into the gym now several times a week again. I have a good friend who is making sure i go and goes with me to help me stay accountable and make shure i get there. It has been fabulous getting back into the gym, i do love it there and do love to lift those weights and do that cardio...It feels WONDERFUL!!!!

 I'm still adapting to the feeling and size of my new "additions" though as they sometimes feel strange on certain exercises or just plain get in the way! LMTO!! I'm finally going to slowly ease into chest work, i've been such a chicken about it and even though i've been able to do that for some time, with everything else that's been happening, i just wasn't ready to try that yet. I will say, quite happily i decided to try my beloved Parallel dips just to see if i could still do them and i could, now granted ,only with body weight and only 6, but it was SOMETHING! I'll get that strength back and be strapping on the ole dipping belt with weight again in no time! :)

 Missed you guys!!!

xoxox Tonianator! 

Shellie,

GREAT to see you over here and that you are working with the Doc!! He's THE BEST, you will never be disappointed working with him!

Way to go!! 

Me too!........flabbergasted!!!

You're a champ!!!!!
