Smile for the Camera

From Day One, Beast has been telling me that he needs to take photos of me and I think "Uggghhh" (just like Charlie Brown). While I'm fit, I've never been tight and toned. This is because while I'm healthy, I do like to eat. I don't have as much definition as I would like. A lot of "working out" to me was doing cardio and rarely lifting weights. This year, that changed. I got a trainer and he worked me out pretty good but I wasn't taking in nearly enough protein so my results were small if any. Side note....too much cardio will hurt you in the end. Your strength will be minimal and while you will look skinny, your body can cannabilize on your muscles. Don't believe me, look it up !~).

Anyhoo, back to the pictures. Beast and I finally got our schedules right and the day finally came for "dun, dun, dunnnnnnnnnn (piano keys)....the pictures". I'm working out and Beast strolls in the gym like Goliath and asks me if I'm ready. I have to take the photos in a sports bra and shorts (which I had to buy because I don't have shorts). We go into the fitness studio and I get my first dose of posing lessons. He shows me what the four quarter turns are and has me practice them. This was so awkward to me and much harder than I thought it would be. After practicing for about ten or so minutes, the last go around, he takes my pictures from all corners.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. I have to believe in myself more and know that I look pretty good. As we're leaving, Beast tells me that I am fine but now its time to start competition diet and exercise regimen. He tells me how much I need to lose and that I should get that new training stuff next week. I don't know what the diet will be but I know I'll be working out twice a week which I can totally do because I'm in education and "Schools out for Summer"!!
