Lil Update...

Hey guys...
I just wanted to update yas a little about the past few days... I was a little sick over the weekend. Had to leave work a few hours early on Thursday morning ...not long after I wrote in my journal. I was so lightheaded and just started feeling sick all over. I thought I was maybe getting the flu, as it is flu season and I am in the hospital 50% of the time ...But I guess it was just a little bug bc I am feeling ok now ...

Well, That 1/2 way explains why I didn't post pictures of 4 weeks out ...Now for the other 1/2 ...OK, so... everything's going along great with prep for Natinals and all- And it is concluded that I need to do something different this year with my diet and cardio ...something drastically different :/ Yea, so I'm doing it ...So far, so good, in the manner that we are seeing what we expected. It's just scarry bc I hate change and like to stick with what I KNOW works, ya know??!! Anyways, I'm making it and am PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING that I come in looking better then ever now that we have made some crazy but logical changes in my prep ...I'm looking forward to seeing what I look like in a few weeks!!!!! I know Nationals is going to be awesome this year ...SO so so many awesome/top competitors will be competing and bringing their best to the stage. ANd that is all I want to do ...Bring my absolute best ever physique to the stage. If I can do that then I will have accomplished what I set out for!

So ...for now, no pics ...but soon, real soon ;) Less than 4 weeks to go!!!!! I can not wait to see everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! And the time that comes after the show is going to be soooo much fun! Amanda, I'll email you about where we are staying ...We'll all definitely have to get together and go out for some food and FUN!!!!!!!! And Miss Cin ...I can't wait to see you!!!! Hurry and get your Airline ticket girl, for I have to kick your boo-tay, haha, yea right ...But you know everyone would like to see us braw ...haha, sorry guys, not gonna happen :)

LOVE YAS ALL!!!!!

4 Weeks Away from the divinity of FOOD!!!!!

What's going on peeps...
Im just taking a seat at work for a few. Just done eating and feeling great about now. I had a huge bacon-cheeseburger earlier today and it was just what I needed. My energy and fullness are restored, lol, and will be for a good little while hopefully. Always does the trick ;) I was going to take a pic before and after the burger today but was too excited and completly forgot, haha. The difference is just amazing though! So crazy what some added fat in your diet can do! Anyways... On another note...

ME AND CINDY ARE REUNITEING ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!! In Miami :) We booked our flights and hotel last night and are stoked about getting to meet up snd chill together for almost an entire week! I love my girl! I'll pick her up from the airport after weigh-ins at the show ...Then on Sunday my family is leaving back for home but me and Cin are staying for a few more days to go out and have a little fun! I'm sure we'll have some great stories to tell and pictures to show yas after returning home, lol. We always have a blast together because we are so entirely alike...

Well, I am taking pictures tomorrow of 4 weeks out from Nationals so I will be sure to post a preview of that! I am so excited about the show ...It's getting so much closer sooooooo quickly!!!!! It's great! I'm just ready to get back in the groove of everyday life ...Not that it's too much different from now but it is somewhat different with the diet and gym schedule of course. I can be less paranoid if I miss a day at the gym or miss a day of cardio, ya know ...Now, I freak out if something gets knocked off my schedule or if change occurs, lol, I like getting in the groove and staying there ...I hate change :) Unless it's good of course ...But hey, it's all life, right??!!

OK, ladies and gents, I gotta run ...Time to tend to my peeps here at the h-o-s-p-i-t-a-l :) I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll update this post tomorrow and load some 4-week-out pics for yas ...KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK????!!!!! BE GOOD ...or BE GOOD AT BEING BAD ;)

LOVES,
Your one-n-only,
B :)

Fun day and 6 weeks out from Nationals :)

Hey-lo guys...

Whooooooo Hooooooooo, my internet/computer is back in comission, lol. Finally! It's been almost a month now since it began acting up. Just finished with AM cardio and a shake- and am about to head to the gym for hammies and maybe a little chest and of course summore cardio ....Gotta luv it.

My room is a little cluttered now but actually looks pretty good ...still very modern. I just added my computer desk into my room which will work very well for webcam when I start that again- which WILL BE THIS WEEK!!!!! :) I have 3 huge floor to ceiling windows in my room so the lighting should be great for that. The room I was doing webcam in was really dark ...It was like "candlelight webcam," haha.

I am a lil under 6 weeks out and am dying for this diet to be over! Work is always having parties and bringing food in almost everyday it seems. Women love to bring snacks and food in bulk to work, it's horrible ...I just try to stay away from it- It's not a problem or temptation for me but it's the fact that they don't understand and like to waive it in my face saying ...Brrriiiiiiittt, don't you want some ....MMmmmmmm ...I just have to laugh about it and joke with them so I don't get an attitude, haha, but I've been close a few times :)

Anyways, I gotsta run so here are a few pictures from Carowinds yesterday ...For those of you that have no clue what Carowinds is, it's like Bush Gardens or Six Flags ...an amusment park. It was a good time and not to mention great cardio all day :)

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
Talk soon,
B :)

Still holding strong...

Hey Everyone!
Let me start by apologizing for the long absence. I am at work right now and beleive it or not I am actually sitting down with free time on my hands??!! It has been a full-house around here ever since I started. Tonight is the first night that I have not had a full patient load ...and I have actually been able to eat every four hours like I am supposed to, and not every 6 or 7 like I was. So tonight has been a good night- only four patients for me :) I am liking my job and I am pretty use to the mode of things. My body has gotton in the groove of things and has adjusted pretty well. My sleep schedule is all out of wack but I just sleep when I am tired and stay up when I am not. It works well for me, lol :) My quality of sleep has definitely went through the roof! Considering how drained I am all the time, I can lye my head down and be in a deep sleep within seconds- and that is pretty much at any given moment :) That is good though, it makes things go by so much quicker in terms of dieting and training. NATIONALS is coming up pretty soon ya'll ...The excitement really has not hit me yet but I am definitely awaiting the day of the show! So so so ready to step on that stage :) I have to send my entry form in pretty soon ...I think it is has to be in by October 20th. Next Wednesday, October the 4th is my birthday :) Not really anything exciting ...cause I can't EAT anything fun:( Oh well, just more of a reason to celebrate afterwards ...right??!! :) November the 4th I will be ONE week out form the Nationals ans am guest posing with Branch Warren at Quincy Roberts' ELITE Classic in High Point, NC. Quincy has been helping me with my posing for the past few years. I like working with him because he is straight forward, no bullshit. I absolutly love that quality in people. Just be straight up, ya know?! Anyways ...6 weeks out from Nationals and I DO HAVE PICTURES of each week counting down from 11 weeks out but you'll have to wait until I get my internet back up and running at home. I was having computer problems and now my internet is acting up. I started dieting at 19 weeks out. So, I have the pics on my digital camara and I promise you'll see them the minute everything comes together :) Seems like I am coming along as I should but from day to day my opinion changes ...sometimes drastically, lol, which is pretty frusturating and not to mention, annoying, haha :) So, my solution has been to just ignore what I look like, hahahahha, I know I'm doing what I am suppose to be so I know my body has to be responding so I just try not to get caught up in judging my body on a regular basis. I wait from week to week to see what my brother has to say and that is what I go by :)

People had been telling me about this girl that works here at the hospital that I do ...They were like she is big, she's a bodybuilder, she competes, and all that ..So I was thinking, Im going to have to go and see who this is ...Well, some time passed and it slipped my mind. The other day after I came in and was starting to give my first round of medications, I heard a voice behind me say "There you are" ...I didn't think they were talking to be but just by reaction I turned around ...I didn't recognize her and for a split second I was like is she talking to me????!!!! Then I quickly realized that this was no average woman, this girl was BUILT, haha. SO then I figured out that that is who everyone had been telling me about. Her name is Tara Boyd. She was so nice and welcoming to me. We talked for a few minutes but I had to get back to my patients. She told me that she had judged me a few times while I have been coming up in the sport. I'm not really one to show a lot of excitment but I was really excited to finally meet someone locally that is into the sport like I am! She generously invited me to come train at some of the local Peak Fitness centers around the area. I have not had time to call her just yet but I definitely want to get up with her and maybe train or just hang out. Most BB's have so much in common it seems, haha. Anyways that was pretty cool ...

My Mom and I live in a little house right inside town and I really like it. It's so great to be close to pretty much anything and everything you can think of. Well, my Brother and Sister-n-law sold their house the other day :( I love that house soooo much. My brother built it from ground up and really customized everything and put his own touch on everyhthing from the floor plan to the accessories and to the yard and landscaping. It's so beautiful! I lived there for about 2 years I guess, when I was home from school. Anyways, my point is that they sold it last week and it's kind of sad :( BUT the good news is that they are moving in with my Mom and I until they get their new land and house and such ...So exciting :) I'm such a family kinda girl :) I love my family and would do anything in the world for them. I'd usually prefer going out with the fam as opposed to going out with friends. I have 2 nephews and a neice and hopefully another on the way sometime soon from my oldest Brother (the one that I've been talking about). My other brother and sister-n-law just has a baby girl named Kyleigh about 5 months ago ...She's a doll- so beautiful! Anyways, back to the house story ...I basically take up the 2 spare bedrooms in our house ...bc I have tons of crap that I have no where to put, lol. I had my computer desk, tv, tv stand, wooden chair, stair stepper, and shoes and clothes in the spare bedroom ...so now I get to move it all out to the garage, haha. I actually moved the desk into my room so it's a little cramped in there right now but it's ok. We'll now have 5 cars in the driveway instead of 2 and in general it's gonna be a lil tighter, lol. Just a little change I guess but I'm ready for them to move in :) Oh yea, what should be really funny is that we have a house cat and they have 3 dogs, one in which is a house dog, hahahha. It's hilarious to watch those 2 in the house together when they bring him over. The cat has no front claws and the dog is really hyper and spastic which makes it so funny to watch them bc buster, the dog, can't bear to look at the cat, Cody, and Cody will just stare Buster down- This really gets Busters blood flowing and he will get really really jumpy and Cody will end up smacking him in the head ...time after time after time after time, lol, then hissing at him over and over again. It cracks me up!

Ok, so I guess I need to get going ...I will have those countdown pics up really soon ...fingers crossed :):):):)

Congratulations to Miss Cindy Phillips for an amazing placing in the Canadian Nationals 2 weeks ago!!!! She looked so amazing! Hard work shines through everytime ...never fails :) Awesome job baby!!!!! I miss ya and hope you will get to come to Nationals!

I LOVE YAS ALL!!!!!

Taking a break...

Hello guys!
I am on my break at work and decided to write a little. My internet, or my computer I should say, at home is so brooooooooke, lol. It makes me really mad but I'll leave my madness in disquise. How is everyone? Not like you can answer me or anything but at least you know I care and asked ;) I am ok. Training and prep for Nationals is pretty fast-paced right now. With work and all, the week to week count downs seem almost like they run together ...Ok, so this was really short but something has come up. I will come back and update this post and write more before I get off work if time allows ...if not, I'll be in touch soon ...9 weeks to go :)
LOVES!!!!
B :)

11 Weeks Out...

Here is what you all have been asking to see ...My progress at 11 weeks out form the 2006 NPC Nationals ...I hope that you like what you see ;)

I have been SUPER busy lately ...Work is coming along gerat! I absolutly love what I do so that suffices when I have a rough day. Training is coming along well also. Sometimes it's hard to get in the gym like I want to, but I manage and get done what I am able. I am kind of in a rut right now with my weight ...It's not moving it seems so I'm trying to get past this little stone in the road ...Anyways, I just wanted to drop this in my blog to keep you updated ...I'll leave you with another pic of me before work one day...

















LOVE YOU ALL and THANKS for everyones support!!!!!

Stop by and see my girl Cindy Phillips ...She is 3 weeks out from blowing everyone off stage at the 2006 Canadian Nationals!!!!! LOVE YA GIRL ...You're almost there!!!!!

NightNight,
LOVE,
B :)

Hey Hey Hey...

Hey guys...
What it be? I'm just hanging out right now ...having a little down time and wanted to get back to my site and blog since I've been so busy lately. I've missed yas!!!! I'm 13 weeks 5 days away from showtime ...so exciting!!!! I swear I sit around drooling and waiting for the next meal that includes carbs, lol. I'm about 150 right now ...Trying to stay ahead of the game- hopefully it'll pay off in the end ...on stage :)

So much has happened I don't know where to start and then I don't even know if I can remember it all. I got a Stair-master at my house now so I don't have to go to the gym everytime cardio is due ...That has been soooooo nice ...I absolutly love it. Sometimes it even gets old though, so I'll go walking outside or ride my bike or something- Keeps it from getting tiring, ya know!? So BIG CONGRATS TO HEATHER POLICKY!!!!!!!! Her physique was right on this year ...no imperfections at all!!!! I thought she looked amazing. Another well-deserved pro card given! I have started my job and I really love it! It's actually a real joy and it keeps me smiling too. It also allows me to eat when I need to and all that good stuff- 12hr shifts aren't that bad ...extra cardio from walking around all day, lol. I havn't been on cam much lately but hopefully that will change soon, once I get everything in line and situated. I have been really slack on taking weekly pictures to show my progress ...actually havn't taken one picture :( I've got to start doing that this weekend ...only 13 weeks left :)

My girl Cindy Phillips has about 5 weeks left until her show ...I'm so excited for her- I know she's going to look great ...Stop by her site and wish her well and tell her how amazing she looks!!!! She deserves it- she's busting her A-double-S ;) ...cindyphillips.net ...I miss you girl!!!!

I have some things that I have to tend to but will talk to you all really soon- I'll let you know asap about webcam times and date ...k????!!!!

Love yas all!!!!

Video for yas :)

Check it out guys ...the end of the entire clip is amazing- I freakin' love it :) ...much much more in the members section :)

LOVES,

Hey yas!!!!

Yes, I have deleted the comments box once again and I want to apologize to you all who come to my site to support me- due to the ruthless comments that have been posted on my blog by the "anonymous" them self. I mean really, the word perfect is NOT in my vocabulary, but seriously ...what is it???? Have I achieved more than you, do I work harder than you, i mean ...is it physical???? ...are my eyes browner than yours or are my teeth whiter than yours ...I don't get it- ...obviously you've got some big balls coming to my site and talking some sort of fictional jealousy while defensively hiding behind the letters a-n-o-n-y-m-o-u-s ...which in this case I believe spells gutless coward. I actually feel sorry for them in that they have no life other than to come to my site to only hate on what I have achieved ...simply pitiful. Those are the ones that need psychological help and ya know if they'd simply ask I'd be so kind enough to give them some sort of reference to outside help, LOL. I hate that people have to live their lives in that kind of mindset ...Any-who ...Enough about the psycho haters ... :) Thank you to all that are by my side year-round and support me for who I am!!!!
My apology is given once again ;)

Weight is around 155 right now ...Been dieting for 2 weeks and a day :) 16 weeks 4 days to go ...not so bad, huh?!!!!! I trained back today and had a really really awesome workout. Getting into the groove of the in-season training and dieting lifestyle. The picture that I have posted is from about a week ago ...I'll post some more along the way that show my progress. I've been talking to Cindy and she is looking great! Girl has about 9 weeks to go I believe. I can't wait to see her onstage ..strutting her stuff, lol. She's working really hard this year and from what I hear has been putting her everything into this competition ...So it will show in the end ...Keep at it girl, your only what you let yourself be ;) (I love that saying :)

Work is great. I love being an RN. It's such a reward when you know that you've contributed to someones wellbeing. It's definitely going to be tough as a new nurse working, trying to get use to that lifestyle while simutaneously starting the competition lifestyle ...but just as I said a minute ago, your only what you let yourself be. I just have to do it, lol, that's all there is to it. When I get frustrated and stressed about dieting and working (previously school) I just remember that everyone else is doing the same thing as I am ...No one has is easy. Believe it or not, it works :)

I have been surfing the web a lot lately, looking at new newly turned fbb pro's and seeing wheat their plans are for the future. I think that Amanda Dunbar has great potential as a pro fbb. This is just me thinking, but I don't doubt at all that we will soon be seeing her on stage as a pro with all the big-time pro's ... it's amazing ...To turn pro and step on stage with the veterans of the sport soon after ...how awesome would that be? I think that she is one of the ones that has the sport of fbb calculated down to the bone ...by the way, for those of you that want to see for yourselves, her website is www.amandad.com ...

Well guys, I have to get to bed ...Oh yea, Bill G ...I've been training calves pretty religiously lately and I even did a few sets of abs the other day ...lol, I was just playing around- I was working out beside of the ab area so I figured I'd do a few sets just to say that I did 'em :):):):) Actually felt pretty good :)

Congrats to my friend C who just got a new job!!!! Miss yas Hun!!!!

Goodnight guys and I will talk to you all soon ...sooner than before :)

LOVES,
B :')

LAST YEAR...

I couldn't add this pic to the last post for some odd reason so I had to attach it after I posted the journal ...but anyways, this is a picture form LAST YEAR, 2005, when I was 11 weeks out from the USA's ... Whew...After looking at pics form last year ...I've got a long ways to go this time around :)



LOVES YAS,
B.

Good day today...

Hi yas all!!!

I'm just hanging out looking at the new FLEX mag ...awaiting my last meal before bedtime :) I've had a crazy busy week ...Monday I started my diet, Tuesday was the 4th and such, Wednesday I got another interview set up for next week with a different hospital- just to find out about 10 minutes later that the other hospital wanted me to come in for a follow-up interview on Thursday morning (today) ...And Today, I went for the 2nd interview and no more than 30 minutes after I left the hospital I received a call from them offering me the position ...So in short, I took the position and am cancelling plans for the interview that I made for next week ...soooo, That's been my week :) I accepted the position as an RN on a Cardiac floor whic I think I am really going to like. The nurse manager was super nice and everyone on the floor seemed so supportive. I can't wait to get started. Orientation starts in about 2 weeks :) So exciting :) I had really wanted to hold off and not get a job until January so I could focus on the Nationals ...but considering some of my college loan guidelines, unfortunatly I was not able to do that ...oh well, life isn't always easy but I'll make it :) I'm really excited about the Nationals this year. I really want to see what I can offer this time around. To progress from last year would be more than enough for me ...as long as I can say that I improved 100% from the time I last stepped on stage ...That's quite alright with me. That's all you can do :)

Anyways, I'm heading to the beach for a while since I'll be starting work soon. I can't wait to just get there and be lazy for a few days :) I hate traveling while I'm dieting ...it's such a hastle ...packing all your food is the main thing and it seems like you can't have fun either- bc you can't go out and eat, if you go out to do something fun it just seems like it's drab bc you can't eat, lol. Seroiusly, I'm all about food. I can't do anything without having to stop somewhere or stop something to get me something to eat :)

Training is going well. Deadlifted 315 today for 6 reps- felt really good at the time but after today's workout my back is killing me. It's funny watching me do cardio, lol, I seriously have not did cardio since I stepped of stage at the USA's in July of 2005 ...yea, I feel like such a fatass huffing and puffing on the treadmill, lol :) Oh well, Gotta love it :)

Alrighty guys, I'm off to eat and go to sleep- I gotta full day ahead. Sleep tight and have a great weekend!!!!

I'll be on webcam when I get back from the beach ...be there ;)

LOVES,
B :')

...Check

Hey ya guys...
Just checking in. It's been a long week. I only have a short minute right now ...supposed to be at the gym to train in about 10 minutes :) But I wanted to stop in a say Hi and let you know I will write more whe I get back from training.

But just to infor m yas .....I PASSED MY BOARDS!!!!!!!! I'm now a Registered Nurse and can write ...Britt Miller, RN ...WHOOO HOOOOO, so exciting :) I've been rounding up a job and such but will tell yas more later....

As for now, Ima head to the gym to lift, tan, and do just a little cardio :) I start my diet next week!!!!

Ihas planned to be on Cam last night but wasn't able to make it but will FOR SURE e on tonight so stop in and see muah :)

Love yas,
B.

quik pic ...

Hey ya...
Just posting a pic taken at 170lbs :) this morning before I went to take my nursing boards. It was really hard and brain washing but I'm hoping and praying that I did well ...It's hard to tell :/ I'll find out Friday how I did ...I'm just getting back from that and am about to go to the gym to train back ...So with that said, I will see you late tonight on WebCam ;)

Love yas!

B :')

Howdy :)

Sup ya'll, lol
Wanted to let ya know that I'll be on Cam tonight but it will be late. I'm going to see the movie Lakehouse tonight and I will get on Cam when I get in ...It'll be around Midnight.

Just got in from the gym ...Nice arms workout since my wrist, finally!, was a little more stable today! I was so thankful it wasn't killing me like it has been for the past 2 weeks. Still couldn't do reverse curls for Bi's, but was able to do nose breakers for Tri's. My weight is rolling around 165 ...give/take a few depending the time of day :)

I called to make an appointment to get my hair done this weekend but she didn't have anything until next Thursday- So I guess I'll have to wait until then :( It needs to be trimmed a little and definitely re-highlighted. Trying to let it grow long :) Never been longer than it is now so Ima try to let it get past this stubborn not growing phase. Thursday will be the day after I take my licensure boards!!!???? So I'm not sure if I'll be in a state of relief, shock, or panic, lol. I've been studying but I've got SOOOOO much more to go over ...As one of my professors use to tell us nursing students "You've got miles to go before you sleep" ...and all the times she's proved us right with this statement, I think this time would be the most promising!!!! I know a few of my classmates that have already taken it and passed ...havn't heard of anyone that failed yet and hopefully I wont. One girl that graduated with me moved to Hawaii and was supposed to take it today ...So I'm sure I'll hear from her tonight :/

Anyways, I've got some chicken on the stove so I need to go tend to that :) Yummy, food :) Can't wait to go to the movies so I can get some goodies :) So, I'll see you guys tonight on Cam around midnight ...Be there :')

By the way, as asked, yes, I have been doing calves on a regular basis and I think they are starting to get some size :) ...That pic on the beach was from May '05 so they've grown a little since then ...I think ...I hope ...yea, they have :)

Talk to yas soon!
Take care,

LOVESSS,
B.

Update for WEBCAM...

Hey guys ...Something has come up tonight and I am npt going to be able to get on cam ...I'm so sorry!!!! I will be on tomorrow and the following nights as promised so I'll see yas there!

Miss Yas :') (I added my dimple into the smiley face, lol)
Loves,
B.

GO TO SLEEP, BRITT!!!! :)

Up late when I should be sleeping :/ I have BIG interview tomorrow and am really nervous ...I feel like a kid the night before their big first day of school. Hopefully the person conducting the interview hasn't seen pictures of me like the one I just posted :):):):) Went shopping today for a suit to wear for tomorrow and just got pissed off more than anything ...you guessed it, NOTHING fit. Pants were buldging tight in the legs and butt and just hanging off my waist- and the jackets left my arms flying up by my head because they wern't even close to being wide enough or big enough for my arms ...I could get a huge (seriously, like obese) size that would fit like it should in teh legs and back and arms but you could barely see me ...it swallowed me whole :) ...that was a "fake smile". Lol. Anyways, I ended up buying something that was NOT a suit and am going to feel really under dressed and not as professional look as I should. SO, wish me luck ...PLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSEEEE!!!!!!! :):):):)

Talk tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes ...
LOVE YA,
B.

Hey-ya!!!!

LOVE YAS ...

Leave ya with a pic of me and my girl Cin... :)
We were trying to see who could make the ugliest face ...huum ummm, I think I won??!! Yea, I'm pretty sure I won!!!! Lol, Gotta love us!!!!

Late night...

It's about 4am here in north cac-a-lackie ....and I'm just getting in from a night oout with the girls. I'm having myself a protein shake and typing to you guys. I went out with my sis tonight- we had so much fun, just me and her- it was a blast. I saw soooo many people that I went to highschool with. It was kind of crazy seeing all those kids and sharing our past lives ..Most conversations started with ..."Britt... OMG, I saw your website," Lol ...It was cool. I'm usually a "stay-at-home" girl, ya know, the eat-sleep-train routine, but I gotta start getting out more. I miss hanging out with everybody. At least until I have to start preparing for the Nationals, which will be late July. Then I'll get in the whole "nothing but training and working routine."

Anyways, training hs been going better than good ...it's been great! I'm starting to put on size- eating and training right- and it;s definitely paying off! I love it when I start putting size on! I want to get back up to at least 170 before I start dieting ...and if possible, 175!!!! My highest has been 170 and that was in December of '05. I know I can do it, I just gotta work extra hard!

I talked to Cin for about 1 minute today but I was in the middle of eating with my Mom so I was going to talk to her later in the afternoon ...but we didn't end up talking so hopefully we will talk tomorrow!

Alright, Ima head to bed but I will probably be on WEBCAM tomorrow(Sunday) night around 9pm EST ...So I will see you then ;)

LOVE YAS ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
LOVES,
B :)

Up at the crack of dawn...

Mornin' ya'll...
I woke up extreamly too early this morning! I have these huge windows in my room that take up almost an entire wall and the sun was shining thru them like no other this morning so of course I couldn't fall back asleep. Oh well, guess I need to get up anyways ...maybe I can get in the habit of getting up early and taking a short nap in the afternoon :) Tha'd be soo awesome- My body would LOVE that! I did that my freshamn year in college ...I would go to my 0800 classes which would get out around lunch time, then I'd get some lunch take it to my dorm, then take a 1-2 hour nap ...ahhhhh, it was sooo great! I'd get up go to the rest of my classes and then go train. Thinking back on it it was so freakin hard but now it seems like it was the life to have. I'm really worried about my how my time schedule is going to be once I start work ...If I work 7a-7p ...I wouldn't get home 'til 8-9 at night ...then I'd only have an hour to train ...hmmm, I'd rather work 7p-7a, get off in the morning, go train, eat, and go to sleep ...wake up and do it all over again. There's no 24hr gyms around here so that'd work much better. This past year in clinicals I remember not getting out of the hospital sometimes until 2 hours after the time that I was really supposed to get off ...Like when we would have new admissions at the last minute or bags of TPN wouldn't get to the floor until shift change ...and you can't just leave your unfinished work for the next shift. I had a really good preceptor and that's one thing that I llearned from her ...Never leave anything extra for the next Nurse to do, start new tasks down to the last minute of your shift and always finish what you start. If that means staying extra to get it done then that's what you do ...Not everyone thinks this way but if you want to be productive and satisfactory then I guess it's what you do ...kind of like doing for others as you would want to be done for or treating others as you would want to be treated ...anyways, enough on that ...Don't wanna think about work til I have to :) I take my boards in about 2 weeks so WISH ME SOME GOOD LUCK!!!!

I would go ahead and go to the gym this morning but today is my day off ...I trained Chest on Friday, Legs on Saturday, and Back yesterday ...and all 3 are hurting equally right now! I can barely walk bc my legs are soooo freakin sore ...I did heavy squats on the smith machine, 2 45's and a 25 on each side for about 7-8 reps ...everything else was the usual ...presses, ext's, lunges, lying curls and seated curls.Chest ws pretty much all incline, only went up to 50lb db's ...Bakc was AWESOME! Hd a kickass back workout ...Started with 4 sets of pullups, deadlifts form the ground w/ 2 45's and a 25 on each side (275) for 8 reps, single arm db rows (which I have a story behind), pull downs, seated rows, and reverse grip single arm pulls ...I was doing my 3rd set of single arm DB rows with a 90lb db ...finished my set no prob, was putting the weight back in the rack and the weight slipped off the other side and landed rigt on top of my ring finger on my left hand ...OOOOUUUCCCHHHH%^%$##@@!$^&&**()))*%!@#$%^&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our weights aren't that rubber stuff, they're freakin solid iron and it urt ohhh so bad! At first, like for the first 30 seconds, I was like ok, I'm fine, I just smashed the hell outta my finger with 90lbs but ya know, whatever, I'm good :) Then this huge black knot and sac of blood rose up off the top of my knuckle ...I swear, it was exactlylike in the cartoons ..like when they get hit over the head with a hammer and a huge exaggerated knot rises up off there head within seconds ...LOL, seriously, that's how it was ...so I went and out it in a cup of ice water for a few minutes and then sucked it up and finished training ...I only had to finished the 4th set of db rows and seated rows. I didn't go up to the 100lb db's bc my finger was throbbing too bad but I did finish with a little bit lighter weight for the last set and did good weight for seated rows and hyperext's. Anyways. I'm not typing with that finger right now, lol, it's a little stiff and bruised/swollen but NOT broken, Thank God!!!!

I'm already hungry again!! I drank a shake and ate some grits when I got up and now I'm wanting something else ...sooooo, Ima go eat again and get to studying for a few hours for my Boards in a few weeks. I'm supposed to be studying a few hours everyday so we'll see how that goes :):):):)
