yesterday was the day. bikini day. my trainer told me the previous week that i would need to bring one with me so we could check my progress so far. all i could think about was ‘somebody get me a razor’ 😆
i am officially 12 weeks out from the show. a gigantic inspiration and fellow blogger friend of mine, Nichola, opened my eyes to just how much time we have left! 😯 please read about her transformation from 170 lbs to competing in her first figure competition last month!! AMAZING. all this time i’ve been saying ‘September’ which makes the show sound light years away.
i was super anxious to hear my results. see the chart below. do you know where you fall??

give mommy a minute, Chiso, please
for real, i’m almost done, Chiso, really
OK, last one, gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
clearly that baby was ready to nurse and we were playing around.
bikini pics before my workout.
my trainer says i need to hit my abs way harder and he’s right. will just keep working.
how do i feel? i’m happy to report that my sugar cravings have pretty much subsided… almost completely. i can’t tell you how happy i am about that. HOWEVER, i now feel like a typical preggo woman cause i’m craving fatty foods like pizza, fries, cheeseburgers, lasagna, and mac n cheese. and i didn’t crave a thing when i was preggo!
it’s sunday so i’m in the kitchen prepping our meals for tomorrow and tuesday. i don’t make them too far in advance cause 1) these things take up a crap load of space in the fridge, and 2) food poisoning is not cool and i can’t afford to get sick at this stage in the game. better safe than sorry!
heading out for some more family QT today- have a BLESSED rest of your day as we get ready for another week!
