Dang…I have got my work cut out for me! Did pics and measures yesterday and compared the measures to 12 weeks out of my 2008 comp and I am not nearly as lean as I thought I was! I’ve lost since the last measure 3 weeks ago, so at least I’m going in the right direction-but, well let’s just say the pics don’t lie and they took the wind right out of my sails…lol!
As embarrassed as I am w/the pics, I’m super glad I did them so I could give myself a good smack; now I know I need to A-work on my terrible posing and B-stay super focused on my tighter eating plan.
I suppose in all fairness to myself-I haven’t done much posing practice since 2008-I’m confident it will all come back with PRACTICE. And also, I had just eaten before taking the pics, and as I said Saturday I've been a bit lax with the food over the last week or so. Lastly I am obviously not tan at all. However, what I saw in the pics today is not what I have been seeing in the mirror over the last 2 weeks. Apparently, mirrors lie-but pictures with measures truly tell it all.
Let that be a lesson folks…take pictures to see the real deal! It helps! Case in point; after looking at these pictures (and comparing my measures to 2008) my food was 100% on plan, I did not take one handful of mixed nuts and raisins all day long, did not scoop into any peanut butter (a weak spot of mine last comp!), and I made bread and did not eat any of the yummy soft centre stuck in the bread maker. Today I am down 500grams....gotta love that!
All I can say, though, is thank the heavens that I have 12 weeks!
Below: the top 2 are from 12 weeks out 2008 and the bottom line up was this weekend-exactly 12 weeks 2010. I couldn't find any back shots from 12 weeks 2008.
I can't get myself to show the symmetry poses from this weekend...they are just god-awful! lol! Practice, practice, practice!!!

You are one sexy minx! You know how I drool over your "demeanor" LOL!! You are still in a great starting position....keep up the focus and motivation and you will be smashing in no time. XX
Thanks all! I know that by sticking to it, it'll all come good-it's just that initial shock...I'll post the weekends symmetry shots once I've lost a few more inches and have better comparisons to show...LOL-then you'll really know what I'm talkin' about. But thanks for the kind words.
Di-I'm going to be calling you one of these days soon! :-)
12 weeks is a loooooooong time in bodybuilding. Commitment and dedication can do amazing things and besides, you are looking a lot better than you think you are. It is very hard for us to be subjective about ourselves, that's why we hire coaches!! Love Rae xxx
