A sigh of relief and a fresh start

My new target comp date for now: June 27, 2009 Tracey Greenwood Figure - Philadelphia, Pennslyvania

I may choose to kick it into gear for an OCB show in May, but for now, I'm chilling out. Back in November it was a close enough call to start dropping some weight. Since things are tough and not going as planned, I am just going to wait to do the Lakewood show. They have another in October that I really want to do, too.

I talked to my trainer today and I feel a lot better. I thought that I would actually like carb cycling. I actually kinda do but I think I need something more steady. We discussed a little about the damage I have done to my body of the years of yo-yo dieting. I have done plenty of starvation type diets in my time and my body is a pro at hanging on to fat in case there is a famine. At this point I don't even think straight-up anorexia would make me lose weight. (I'm only half kidding) The plan now is to get my metabolism healed and then revved up. I am going to do something different with my cardio, too. Time to mix up it more.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for yesterday, friends. I really just felt like the ugliest, fattest, grossest chic ever. I put on a new outfit I bought (that actually fits instead of being a baggy mess like most of my clothes, lol) I felt a little better. Then the hubby took a picture of us with the webcab. When I saw myself on camera I was surprised. I still don't like where I am at, but I am doing better. I actually kinda liked me for once.

So now the process is about liking me and getting me healthy instead of trying to get on a stage. I'll get my booty on a stage and rock it soon enough. For now, its about something more important.




(yeah, my hubby is a long haired hippy type! LOL.... and yes he is a musician, too- seriously)

OMG Hilary YOU ARE GORGEOUS! I thought at first that was a mag pic of a rock star and his hot wife! Well I guess in a way it is! You are tough on yourself. But I know how that is. I am too. We need to be nicer to ourselves! I am proud of you for sticking with it. I'm bummed I won't be seeing you in April tho :( But I'm rootin ya on for your Philly show!

And thank you for all the comments too, we're hear for each other!!

I don't know how you can look at yourself and see anything other than beauty. Every time I log into your blog, I look at your profile pic and think that you look so much like Renee Zellweger (who I think is GORGEOUS!)

I agree with Marissa. We need to be nicer to ourselves.

Can't wait to see how you rock the stage in June!!
