Preparations

Well, yesterday I went to get my shots so I can leave the country. I believe I have the funds. Waiting to hear for sure, and to recieve info about our plane tickets. Starting to think about packing, and what to carry on and what to put under the plane. Did one more newpaper interview today....but really trying to get totally focused on training and my efforts in the weight room before I leave. My weight is awesome. I'm so impressed with Brian. I have been hanging at 118 since I came back from Virginia. It'd be nice if I could be up one to one and a half more pounds, but, I'm doing really well right where I am. And I'm so impressed that he has everything down to such detail and that he's actually figured out how to make me maintain weight!!! Most paperwork is done, at least as far as I know. I'm all signed up for random drug testing. We're pretty much down to just waiting on it to get here....which won't be hard...it's only 5 weeks!

Great day today! :) I love training. <3 I feel so amazing. And we're getting a lot of stuff done for Brian and the gym lately. Everything is working out so well. Brian's business has been very consistent...when some of his clients go away for vacations or have reached their goals, he picks up more from somewhere else. Everything's awesome. Including my training. I'm doing so well. And I feel great when I'm lifting. It's so fun.....just like it was in the beginning. And I'm improving and weights are moving up. Brian's been pushing me and testing my limits again recently. Kinda takes me a little adjustment time because he doesn't do that very often, but, it's good :) I need it.

For some reason, I totally have gotten out of the habit again of mentioning Brian stretching me at the end of my blogs. Brian deserves me to have a better brain than that. He takes the time every single day to do that to make sure my hips are feeling okay and to keep the spasms away that I've dealt with for so long.
