5 Weeks Out!

  What a week. I have been so busy. My body fat was 13% this week, so I am back on track. I had the opportunity to pass out trophies at the Optimum Classic in Shreveport this weekend. Prince Harrison puts on a well run show and it moves along quickly. There is nothing more painful than a show that doesn't start on time and drags on. I got to witness my first bikini Pro show. Wow! I have no idea how they judge them. They are all seriously "IN IT to WIN IT! At the same time, and surprisingly, I think I could obtain that. Well, that is if I hurry. I am not getting any younger and gravity does not take a day off.
  I have been mentally drained this week. I have a friend my age who's breast cancer has now spread to her lungs and liver. The last I knew she was in remission. I have been in tears over this. She has two children my boys ages plus one that is around two. I can't even look at my children without tearing up. She lives 4 hours away and does not like to share this stuff with many people. I spend a lot of time "wondering" how she is.
  I also got negative news regarding my boys school. They have declined us for any financial assistance this year. Not sure why....I am praying it is a mistake. I have cried about having to pull my boys from their school. Bottom line is I can't afford $12,000/year. I know God lead me to this school. I will just wait and see how God works out this miracle. He is in control and I am just giving it to him.
  I have also struggled with another situation that is bothersome to me. I am determined to simplify my life. That may mean severing relationships. If a friendship is "work", then cut em loose.

I am obviously ready to start a new week. I will be on a little trip with my husband and boys for four days. I am so looking forward to time with my family. I went to the gym today and will have to go in Friday, Sat, and Sun. I will plan to stay on my diet. If I go out, I will eat fish or chicken dry. I will allow myself one dinner (within reason) and a bite of dessert. I can do it. I am pretty focused right now.

My pics are pretty good this week. My abs are looking good, but for some reason my skin looks loose on my stomach. That sometimes happens after I lose some weight and should tighten. I hope so anyway.

Still waiting for that fat to leave my waist. Rear looking good. I do have a little cellulite on the right leg. Not noticeable to most, but I see it.
