Wed, Thurs...what's the diff?


Well, it's Thursday so I'm a day late on those progress pics (more like a couple months, but we'll ignore that). I can tell that I've been holding some water the past day or two, but I'm pretty sure it's hormonal:) Weight has still been going down. A little slower than I'd like, but still moving. And measurements are going down too. So, without further delay.......





I went back and looked at some pics I took last year for a photo shoot, and it made me feel a little better seeing how not far off I am from here. Here's to 4 more weeks!

Competing on a Budget


Okay, so I'm not going to even get into the what's and why's on my absence from blogging. I'm pre-contest.....that's my excuse:)
I just wanted to pop in and give another tip on how to save a bit of cash when prepping for a show.

Get sponsors! It doesn't have to be a full sponsorship, even partial is okay! And it doesn't have to be in dollars and cents either. Ask your gym to sponsor your membership for the weeks/months that you are prepping. Ask your tanning salon (if you tan) to sponsor you a month's unlimited, or half off 2 months unlimited. In return, offer to sport their swag when you're out and about. Mention them on your Facebook, Twitter, or blog. I'll bet you get a least something. And every little bit counts, right?
Comment back if you decide to give it a shot and get a sponsor! Or, if you have any extra tips to add on getting sponsors.

*I know last time I posted I was only 1 week in and now I'm less than 5 weeks out. Sorry! I promise to post some pics by Wed. I'm having a fat day today, so it's not happening yet:)
I'll post more about my prep then.

Happy Monday!
XOXO
