Bikini Competition Countdown

So... it's getting closer and closer to competition date... 45 days left now. Crazy! I can't believe I've been doing this since Nov 7th! So far I'm fluctuating between 115.5-116. Everyone says I look super skinny but it's difficult to see as I'm just hoping to see my six pack soon and I won't be satisfied until I do! :)

My mom was up here last weekend so help me with wedding details as well as celebrate her birthday a little late. We had such a good time and it was nice to be able to hang out with her without her constantly talking about her store onquestyle.com and I think she liked it too because she truly got to relax a bit even if we ran around meeting vendors etc.

We also went to my seamstress who's been holding the dress for me. I put it on and it was huge on me! Yay! When I first got it after purchasing it it was so tight around my rib cage I couldn't even breathe! HA! It feels great! I am not going back to the seamstress until after my competition when my weight has stabilized a bit. She's also going to help me with a veil and to find a hair comb. I want it to look vintage like with rhinestones - NO pearls. She has a major job to do yet she's not charging crazy expensive which is nice. Plus - she said she would throw in the veil for free! Although... I have my eye on this one that has rhinestones on it... it's $144 dollars so it's not cheap! Perhaps I'll talk my mom into it hahaha We'll see...

I just purchased some clear heels (stripper shoes) for my competition and since I'm not sure what size I need I had to buy them now so that I have time to get them as well as return them in case they do not fit. I have been scheduled to start training my walk in about 3 weeks.

Life is crazy busy right now and we are booked pretty much every single weekend up until the wedding! It's insane... This Saturday is my friend Amy's baby shower and right after that I'm going to get my hair highlighted. And I probably have to go in in the morning to get my cardio done.

Sunday we are meeting a videographer as well as we need to register at a store

Next weekend I am going with my friend Linda to get a haircut, style, blowdry and shine treatment at another salon in town. Online deal :) After that Joey and I need to drive up to the wine country to sip some wine (I'm not supposed to drink b/c of my competition so I will literally just dip my tongue in it) with my friend Stef for the wedding wine. We need to get that picked right now.

Sunday we need to register at a couple of other stores...

Weekend after that is Linda's baby shower (baby boom going on here!) and I can't think what else I'm so exhausted hahha BUT don't get me wrong - I am having the time of my  life doing all this!

I love my family and friends so much and I feel so loved in return

Miss you all (being so anti-social for this competition).

Xoxo

Better late than never

Hi,

Sorry... haven't been on here in forever. I've been so focused on the bikini training and trying to not go absolutely insane hahaha The eating is definitely kicking my butt and it's so hard. I've been at it since Nov 7th now and I have to do this until March 10 when the competition is. I do have tiny highlights such as the bikini. Ha! When I opened the box the bottom part of the bikini was so tiny i collapsed in a fit of giggles!
Here's a link to my bikini:

Here's what I get to eat every single day with no change....

Breakfast:
1 cup of greek plain non fat yogurt
1/8 cup of oats
cinnamon

Mid AM snack:
4 oz of protein
15 almonds

Lunch:
4 oz of protein
lettuce
1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Pre-workout:
4 oz protein
2 Slices Ezekiel bread with mustard OR
1 cup of rice

Post-workout:
4 oz protein
1 cup rice

And that's it... That is 1260 calories/day. This is all based on my initial weight and height as well as what I am working towards. This might not work for someone else my height and weight because they might be looking for another result. My stomach is starting to look somewhat decent and so does my legs. I want more definition in my arms and I think for that I need to get rid of some more weight.

Back to the wedding; all the bridesmaids have their dresses and now also their shoes! They are going to look absolutely stunning which is what I want next to me on my day :) Well, I know that anyone that comes to our wedding will be hot because we only have very good looking friends and family ;)

My mom is coming up here the weekend of the 21st of January to help me finalize plans for the wedding. We are meeting with the rental people to decide who to go with as well as going back to the Greek Orthodox Church to check it out again and meet with the people who do ceiling swag.

Our DJ is going to be on WE TV tomorrow at 9PM on David Tutera's show "My Fair Wedding" I am so excited and cannot wait to see his work :)

I have to get back to watching Planet of the Apes
