Pretty good ab workout this morning. Looking forward to working legs again tomorrow!

My husband got me a nike fuelband for my birthday! It's tomorrow, but he gave it to me early!

Whew, had a great leg workout this morning. Happy to say I've gone down to 17% BF!

annaruthus updated her overall goal.
I am planning on competing in August '12. It's amazing how your goals change over the years. When I first started it was not to compete. Just to get in shape.
annaruthus measured her arms at 11 in., a loss of 1 in. in 6 days and measured 8 other body parts.
May 20, 2012annaruthus created a new BodyBlog entry "End of Wk. 15, on to Wk. 14!".
So I'm at the end of week 15! Tomorrow marks the start of week 14. I have done very well in all my food choices this week. I also got in every single one of the workout that I planned. I was very satisfied with the week. I lost 2 pounds and an inch from my waist, putting me at 25 inches! There isn't as much of a difference between last week's photo's and this weeks, but I'm retaining a bit more water weight for "girl" reasons. I expect next weeks photos to be awesome. So the big thing... Go to BodyBlog
Today is a complete rest day, which I know I need, since I worked out so hard the other 6 days of the week. It's so hard to do though!
May 20, 2012
Been a good week so far! Made every work out. Tomorrow is Legs: Glutes & Hams!
May 16, 2012
annaruthus measured her waist at 26 in., a gain of 1 in. in 44 days and measured 5 other body parts.
May 13, 2012annaruthus created a new BodyBlog entry "End of Wk. 16, On to Wk. 15!".
So this is the end of week 16. I am counting down to the Atlanta NPC Coastal USA competition, which is scheduled for August 20th. As it is my first competion, I am taking extra time to prepare. I am very excited, and just hope I can feel satisfied with how everything turns out. I was in pretty good shape to start, so I know diet will be a huge factor for me, but don't think I will slack on my gym time!This first week has been pretty much ideal. I got in all my workouts, and ate practically... Go to BodyBlog

Getting Ready to Start Over
Posted in Training : Apr 29, 2012 3:38pmWell, I am getting ready to compete for the first time ever on August 20th, in the NPC Coastal USA in Atlanta, GA. I will be competing in the bikini division. On May 20th, I will be 12 weeks out, but I'm going to cut out dessert and alcohol after May 5th. Now I never consume alcohol and desserts in huge quantities in the first place, but after May 5th, it will be totally gone until after my competition.
Why May 5th you ask? Well I'm a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding. I am flying all the way from Augusta to LA for this. We are also going to Las Vegas for her bachlorette

Aww well thank you. I have a stage show coming up in two weeks. My first ever. And then in process of signing up for another in August. I found something I love and am passionate about. Great way for me to channel negativity that may come through life.

Right on! I think I'm crazy with my obsession with my abs and obliques, couuld be why I do either super heavy or a circuit nearly every workout lol
Have a great day and week!!

So you have a whole gym day just for abs? I try to do an ab or oblique workout every day. What do you do on this day?

Six is awesome! they just this year started making women do pull-ups as part of our PFT too! I think six is the max points. None of the ladies in my unit can get six. Great job!
