Day 31 - Never Too Late to Dream Big

This is my last weekend away. I leave SF tonight, and tomorrow at 6 am I am taking off for LA with my mom. I am packing my cooler with chicken and yams, rice and almonds, kale, tuna and rice cakes. Hopefully I can find chicken and spinach and egg whites in LA.

I stopped freaking out, I am in great hands. Glen is doing the muscle fine tuning; Alex is going over my stage walk, posing, and attire; Maria is in charge of my pre-show primping (apparently it is a process); Larissa is doing my hair and pushing me all the way to the finish line. I've heard that the first show is great practice and the second one is perfect, but I want to place in this competition.

I have never worked so hard for anything before and it feels great. I was checking out videos and pictures of Ms Fitness USA from last year and I found this great video of my stage coach. Isn't Alex amazing?!
The woman who place second last year is in her 40's and didn't start gymnastics training until she was in her 30's. She has three kids and runs a restaurant, which proves it is never too late to get fit and turn your life around. I can't wait to be on the cover of Oxygen magazine! It might take a few years, but I am patient.


This morning I hit up the Lyon Street stairs. Larissa and I did 5 rounds of sprints. We used are walk to the bottom as a cool down. Our legs were trembling so bad my the end, we had to walk all the way back.

This picture makes them look easy
If you are wondering about yesterday's workout, both of our backs are perfectly sore. I highly recommend you try out our back circuit. Next week we will take a video of pull ups to show you how to progress and regress each exercise. I have a ton of errands to run still, but I will be back on here to post pictures of my cooler and training equipment for my weekend.
