Happy Friday!

I don't have much time to post right now, but wanted to stop in and play some catch up. Last weekend we celebrated my father-in-laws birthday. It was just immediate family. We got him an iPod. He loves it! He has been playing around with all the apps since he opened it! We weren't sure how he was gonna like it because my in-laws aren't big techie people but it was a great choice!

I found out that Jason Dhir's Charity After Bash is going on this year! Yay! I went to groovetickets.com and got our tickets already! It stinks, coz right after I bought them Jason sent me an email with all the info and a promo code:( I told him I already bought the tickets, but thanks:) Some of our friends are staying at the same hotel we are in Columbus! I'm really looking forward to this year. Every year we've gone it's just gotten better. Two of my friends will be dieting when we go down, but that's okay:) I was dieting last year, and I'm sure they won't be the only ones!

Well, I'll try to post more later but I really got to get moving today. Lot's to do!

Bye!

I actually heard this song quite a while ago, but was just thinking about it and wanted to share. It's good for a laugh. (Just scroll down and pause the muzicon first) ;-)

No Booty Calls is pretty funny too.

Hope you're having a good weekend!

Not a whole lot planned today. Want to do some cleaning around the house, and go to the gym but that's pretty much it. I may do some grocery shopping today and I need to make dinner (don't know what yet. I'm thinking tacos). I need to return some things I bought over the holiday's. I didn't want to fight the crowds right after Christmas (plus I procrastinate a bit!). So, I guess I do have some stuff planned for today! I hope it won't take me too long to do.

This weather needs to warm up now! I can't take the cold anymore! I really can't complain too much, because we haven't had a ton of snow. But I'm going to anyway.....I hate it! Dunkin' Donuts mailed out these flyers offering a free medium coffee every Monday for the month of January (and the first Mon in Feb). Well, I got my hands on two of those flyers! 2 free coffee's every Monday! Woo Hoo!!!! Something to keep me warm......and perk me up! I'm sipping on one right now:) I like Starbucks, but it's a toss up on which one I like more. Starbucks is just Starbucks, nuff said. But Dunkin' is a nice break sometimes and they have about a dozen flavor shots that are all sugar free!!! Sometimes I'll mix up the flavor shots to make my own flavor! For instance, I'll get a shot of almond, coconut and chocolate (almond joy!).

Okay, well coffee's just about done so I think I should start on my to do list. Hope your enjoying your day off!

Happy MLK Jr. Day!

Only 7 more weeks until the Arnold! I still don't know what party we're going to yet:( I heard that the Party with the Pro's wasn't all that great last year, so I'm undecided on that one. Last year we went to Jason Dhir's party at BoMA and it was a blast! We didn't stay too late because I was dieting and getting tired, but I think it went till around 5:00am! I need to remember to take some aspirin with me this year. Last year at the Expo I got such a headache! They're are so many people walking around, and I'm so short I can't see over most of them so it was really hard on my eyes.

I'm leaving in a bit to go get another bead for my troll bracelet:) A place near my house is having a grand opening and they're selling a lot of retired beads for cost! I am going to try and restrain myself and only get one bead. Then it's off to the gym! Don't have too much going on today. I think I'm gonna just get some cleaning done around my house. I had my nephews over last night, so you can probably imagine what the place looks like after 3 boys got done with it:) It was a fun night though. It will be nice to have a relaxing night at home. I've been fighting some sinus thing, so the rest will be good.

Happy Saturday!

So some news, I finally got my site up and running (www.amandazawojsky.com)!!! It only took me about a year, but better late than never! I still have to put some pics in the gallery, and will eventually make a separate gallery for before's and after's (once I start getting some clients on programs). The site is very pink, but I like it like that:) Now to get some business cards going. I want to have them before we go to the Arnold. I was asked last year for cards, but didn't think to bring any:(

I decided to go with my suit from last year for this year's competitions. It's a money thing. I really liked that suit though, so it's all good. I've got a bunch of pink stones that I've had, so I think I'm just going to add those to freshen it up and make it "new" again. Plus, I won't have to get new jewelry because I have the set that matches already!

Been on and off about cleaning up my diet. I think it's winter that affects my will power. When it's cold out and gray, I just want comfort food. Hot, carby, sugary, cheesy goodness to make me feel better:) But I am back at it again, eatin' clean and feeling good. It's funny, when I really clean up my diet I don't crave things as much. I still get cravings, but it's easier to say no.

Speaking of which, it's almost time to eat again:) So, things I'm doing today: Eat:), clean, train, nails, eyebrows, cook, study, sleep.

Bye!

Okay, so I just spent way too much time catching up on some internet reading. My husband is leaving to L.A. tomorrow for a gig, so I'm trying to help out with some of his running around. I gotta stop at the deli and get the fixin's for sandwiches. Airport food is always gross! If they even give you anything anymore??? You're only other option is fast food. So, I'll make up some sandwiches and other snacks for him for the flight there;-) Aren't I nice? hehe!

Don't really have anything going on while he's gone. It will be nice to have a slow weekend. I'll still get stuff done, but I only have to worry about getting MY stuff done.

I changed my training back up and started going heavier again. My legs were sore!!! I like to change things up every so often, so I don't get stuck in a rut. After a while of lifting the same way, I don't really get sore anymore. Which, don't get me wrong, is nice but I don't feel like I've pushed myself enough unless I feel the pain! (is that weird?) So, I was going heavy, then lighten it up and added more reps (to work on bringing out lines/shape). Now it's time to go back. I start dieting again in Mar., so I'll end up going lighter as the contest prep progresses. Let me correct myself....I go lighter, but I never let up on my legs. They stay heavy. As I diet and do more cardio, my legs start to thin out if I don't keep lifting heavy. I gotta make'em realize that I still need them around!

So that's what's going on with me. Now, off to run some errands! I'll hit the gym later tonight. Don't love going at night (coz it's colder and I'm tired), but once in a while you just gotta do it!

Bye~

Happy New Year!

Sorry I haven't been posting for a while, I seem to get away from it so easily:-( That's one of my resolutions for 2010 is to post more often! Also, to finish studying for my CPT cert. (I actually have my test date scheduled already!) and start picking up some clients, get my website up and finally running, and to get my pro card;-) Well, at least the first few I can control, the last one is more of what I hope for this year. So, are you off to a good start this year? It's only been a couple days, so if you've fallen off your wagon.....it's okay, just get back up there! I have been really good (for the whole 4 days lol!)! We even had company over and ordered pizza and I only had 1 piece! If you live around a Jet's Pizza, I highly recommend getting the BBQ chicken pizza. I didn't think it sounded that good at first either, but it is so yummy!

So, I think I've decided to stone my own suit this year! Yikes! It seems that some of the suits now (now that you only need a 2pc) are getting more expensive. And the stone work on some of them is not something I can't do. Don't get me wrong, some are so intricate and beautiful.....but those suits are definitely out of my price range:-) My brother is awesome with art, so I think I'll have him help me out with design and go from there. Plus, if I start early....then get too frustrated, I'll have time to buy one. I don't want to think that way though......I will do this!

I just got done booking our hotel for the Arnold! I'm so excited to go! Only about 9 more weeks to go! hehe! I think I booked the same place as last year. It's not connected, or the nicest, but it's clean and it's only 5 minutes from the Expo. We hardly spent any time in our room last year, and that's how I look at it. If it's clean and safe...and close, then I'm good. I will only be there to sleep and get ready to go out! We're only staying for Saturday night (like last year). I would like to stay over for Friday too, but I still have a blast going for just the 1 night. Hopefully I can stay good on my eating/cardio so I look halfway decent this time! Plus, I'm going to get Mystic tanned. Those fluorescent lights in the Expo make you look so pale unless you have a great tan going on.

I still have so much to do today:( It's too cold out to do anything, except catch up on my DVR, in my opinion. I have to do homework (for the Gregman), start chipping away at the Xmas decoration deconstruction, get the rest of my cardio in, and studying (for my CPT).

Which to do first.....

Happy New Year!
