NPC Lonestar Classic

Jamie, Cat, Marie and I all traveled to Dallas together. We checked into our hotel last night about 930 pm and chit chatted for a little bit up until we went to bed around 11pm. We got up about 7am cooked breakfast and got ready for the prejuding show. The prejuding is the most important part of the show, because here is where the judges pretty much decide who will win the night of the show.

Wait a minute !! How'd these get on here ??!! HAHA ; )



Brandy and Jen

Jen competed in Figure and Brandi competed in Figure and Bikini Tall. They looked great on stage and represented us well.

VIXEN MUSCLE LADIES

Leg day and a girl's trip weekend = )

It was a packed house at the gym today. FULL OF WOMEN. = ) Inferno ladies joined us on our workout. Leg day was awesome and we did 30 mins of cardio after.

all my meals prepared and packed for our trip



These are the kinds of things you have to do when you're on a strict diet and schedule. It took me 2 days to cook my chicken, cook rice, steam my brocccoli and grill my turkey burgers. Oh the life.

I haven't left Mark in.....well, I don't think I have left him alone at home before. In the 5years we've been married, this will be the very first time I've went somewhere without him, instead of him going somewhere for work or something.

I'm actually quite excited. haha  = ) Who knows, I may never want to come back. jk jk.

OFF TO DALLAS! GOOD LUCK TO BRANDI AND JEN!

Shoulders and Triceps

So, I got to class and there was only 3 of us tonight. Jen and Jamie were already working out bc they got there alot earlier than me and went straight to our excercise. Since they ended early, I got more one-on-one time with Shauna. What I love about her is that she is able to see all of us and correct us all when we are doing something wrong. I improve every time she says something to me and want to learn the correct ways of working a certain machine or fixing my form.

Today we worked on:

3 sets of each
-15 incline fly
-15 kickbacks 5lb
-15 TRX push ups floor

-15 dips bench 25 lb plate
-20 mb wall ball toss 12lbs
-20 straight leg raises on the ground
-15 reverse grip triceps 45lbs
-30 crunches

After class, I went home and had to pack for the big weekend ahead. This weekend 2 of the girls were competing and Shauna invited all of Vixen Muscle to support them and also to see exactly how the process of the competitions worked so that way we would know before our own shows. I'm so excited and can't wait!

My workout for today is this:

I actually did this outside my house on my street. Not sure if the neighbors saw, but I'm sure a couple of nosey people were watching through their windows. haha = D The temperature got up to 101F and I just ended up eating my dinner earlier and waited til' it was completely dark outside 2hrs after I ate. A great workout at 9pm. Hubby timed me with my sprints and it was awesome to see his support.

Week 1, DONE! Woo-Hoo, I survived!

Saturday-

Every Saturday, we meet at Shoemaker High School in Killeen at 7am for our mandatory sprints. Meaning getting up at 630am. For anyone that knows me, mornings and I aren't bestfriends. It's kind of a family day with our Vixen team. We can bring whoever we want. People brought their spouses, children and even there dogs.

 Ariel brought this little guy to come and run with us. 

Sprints went well. Warmed up for about 5-10 mins. The warm up (high knees, lunges, tire runs etc) was a reminder of what we did the day before. My glutes and hammies were ON FIRE and we were about to run? I had to think of this sprint more like it's a stretch for those muscles. Something to get my mind off of how Sundays gonna feel. HA! We went 100m and walked back 50x. Boy, that was a workout, but it definitely was a great start to my weekend.

Sunday-
Mark and I got up ate breakfast and went on the Harley for beautiful ride around the Lake and to a small town in Texas. We hadn't gotten it out since we moved here because Mark didn't have his registration renewed, but our last visit home, he got that taken care of. It was a bit muggy, but nonetheless awesome to be back on that HOG.
