Hell Week and Shout Outs!

HELL WEEK: Alrighty my followers (probably no one LOL) do you know what this week is? Well let me inform you it is officially HELL WEEK and it is in full force. Let me tell you something if you think that hell week for football or dance is hard I will easily trade you in a freaking heart beat! I have gone through hell week on drill team and as hard as it was it does not compare. Here is what I can eat....Chicken, Tilapia, and Asparagus. Cool thats fun. Not. lol! It is ok I just have to remember why I am doing this and I only have 4 days after today which is crazy Monday is gone already. That is awesome. I honeslty want this week to FLY by me. I am hoping my boss gives me Friday off so that I can have a day to prepare and get ready and enjoy these things. I still have one more workout to do today which I will go do after this. Seriously though if I thought my other meal plans were bad this one is HARD but do able...LOTS OF ASPARAGUS which is new to me because I am pretty sure I am the president of Asparagus Haters Anonymous. Sooo we will see how this week goes for me. I am so excited though after all of this hard work it literally all comes down to what I am doing this week. I have to be meticulous in my diet and follow it to a T and work hard.  I am excited to get to Saturday and honestly to have yummy food lol! Terrible I know but I cannot wait to get some ice cream up in this stomach! Bring on this week!

SHOUT OUTS: So first off I want to give the biggest shout out to my Husband Kevin. With out you babe I literally could not have survived this. This is the hardest thing I have ever endured in my entire life and it wouldnt have been possible without you by my side doing late night cardio with me, cooking and packing my meals, reminding me why I am doing this, listening to me rant and rave about how hard this is, having a rock hard shoulder to cry on when I am completely exhausted and then after I cry shoving me out the door to do more cardio. I appreciate you so much and know that I am truly the most blessed girl alive. I am so lucky to have you as my husband and would not trade one second of my life with you. Thank you for being my inspiration and my rock. You are my world and you are my everything and I thank the Lord every night before we go to bed that I was lucky enough to find you. Mwah sweetness.

Shout out to Momma K: alrighty followers just so you know Momma K is Kevin's mom. So obviously I owe her my freaking life because she is the reason I have for living. Thank you so much for supporting my goal to get on stage in a tini-tiny bikini and being willing to come watch and support. I honestly was so nervous to go and do something like this and thanks to you and your amazing support I have found strength to know that it is going to be fantastic. I am so excited that you are coming and cant wait to see you on Saturday yelling in the crowd for me!

Shout out to my family and my Mom: Thank you to my family who have been here watching me and supporting me and telling me how great it is that I am doing this. Thank you especially to my own mother who has helped me through this tough time. Thank you for letting me whine and complain to you about the food I have been eating and for understanding how hard this has been on me personally with school and work and training. Thank you for getting tickets so you can come take 1000's of pictures of my at this competition like I know you will! Thank you for not giving me crap about eating different at dinner and for understanding that this goal is for me and not for selfish reasons. Thank you for letting me call you and complain to you or tell you about the funny things that happen to me at the gym. Thank you for being amazing!

Shout out to my work: AHHHH not enough nice things to say about my coworkers. You have known about this dream from the get go and have been supporting me the whole way and I seriously appreciate it. Thank you for keeping me going and telling me how great I am looking and doing. It was such a relief for me to come to work and know that everyone is supporting me and cheering me on. It has been fun for me to get excited about my suit or my shoes and share those experience with you all. Thank you also for putting up with my crazy  mood swings that have come as a result of what I have been doing and covering shifts when I have literally been to tired to drag my lazy butt out of bed or when I have worked out so hard that I am insanely sick. You guys are amazing!

Those are my shout outs for today! Xoxo- Akundis    #beastmodeon

Itsy Bitsy, Tiny Weeny, Purple Sparkly Bikini!

The time has finally arrived my friends. MY SUIT IS HERE! Which is good since there is only 8 days to competition! And I must tell you...it is freaking gorgeous  I love everything about it it is the perfect suit for me! I look incredible and I feel incredible! I wish it would have been here like 2 weeks ago it definitely has given me motivation that I did not have before. I mean I obviously have motivation or I couldn't be doing this but the suit just helps a ton! So this morning I am going to go do a lot of cardio because in all honesty...this body needs the extra workout time! Posing in a group tomorrow which is exciting because last time I didnt have my suit and now I do so I dont have to feel like the ugly duckling! Well off to the gym I go!!!

Group Posing

Well that was interesting...to say the least...but it was a good interesting! Ok so basically it started out with introductions and getting to know everyone which was fun. Then we talked about our goals for the next week. Mine are 1. Sleep! 2.  Posing everyday this week for at least 20 minutes. 3. No comparing myself to others. Good things will happen this week. It is interesting because my number three goal was already challenged haha. So we all got ready to pose and can I say something..DAMN that is what I was thinking these girls were INCREDIBLE looking I mean incredible! Which is awesome they have worked so hard too. I just kind of wished that I looked like that too but then I reminded my self A. I have been incredibly sick during this entire thing which has taken a huge tole on me and my body B. I look better than I ever have in my whole life C. I weigh what I have wanted to weigh seriously for years D. Im freaking awesome. I just have to remember those things. yeah I may not look like those girls but that is ok I am working towards it and I am still going to rock the stage on Saturday...nothing can stop me! I cant wait my suit was supposed to ship yesterday so I cant wait for it to get here! It was really fun to meet all of the girls and to pose next to them knowing that our size is the same I just need to tone up more. I can do this and it is going to be awesome! Cant wait just 2 weeks from right this very second I will be preparing for the night time show and then all my months of hard work will be over. Then it is on to becoming more toned and more healthy and just strait up even sexier than I already am! Loving my life! (Or my olive? which is what I typed for no reason! Awesome.)

The Next Two Weeks!

So after going over the finances last night good and bad things have happened to me. 1st the good, the good is that we can move to ARIZONA and I am so happy about that because I a READY to be gone haha (bad I know) 2nd the bad, this means I cannot participate in the June NPC Bikini Comp because we will be gone. Now although that sucks this is what that means to me...for the next two weeks until April 20, 2013 when I will compete in my first show I am literally giving this everything I have got. I will not be weak, I will not back down, I will seriously go and kick this thing in the butt! After that I will focus on being healthy and enjoying the first summer that my husband and I have off. We have been going to school year round for 2.5 years and this year we don't have to do that! So I will finish my breakfast here and go kick butt at chest and plyometrics! Today is my first day posing in front of my group and I am nervous but extremely excited. I can't wait to meet everyone and to have such a good time. I am ready to have fun and literally kick up my heels haha! Bring on the next 14 days (aka the hardest 14 days) of my life! I love you Kevin you are my rock, my inspiration, and my everything. Without you this would not have been possible. Xoxo- Akundis    #beastmodeon

Oh Happy Days!

So...I told Kevin I would have this done yesterday...here it is today but better late than never RIGHT? So lets start with the happiness of yesterday shall we? So yesterday's workout was back and biceps...hot damn I am sexy! Yes I feel like I can say that today and you would too if you saw me in the gym yesterday so I felt awesome and looked awesome...as I was doing my bicep curls I looked in the mirror and you could literally see my shoulder perfectly outlined and my tricep outlined and then my bicep...just how it should be. It was incredible I felt seriously cool lol! My workout yesterday was hard not only did I do back and biceps which KILLED me I also did abs and seriously I texted my husband and was like ok this is going to be death by abs for sure. I made it through but lets be honest right now I am definitely feeling it today! After work I went to the gym and did stairs for 50 mins and yes got a good calorie burn on I felt awesome with the sweat dripping down pretty much my whole body I was pretty nasty but sweat is my trophy so it is fine by me! Now on to this morning! I met with Sandy today (my trainer) and got happiness in the form of measurements! I wasn't supposed to measure today but we did and it was good...so my body fat has been sitting right around 17% for weeks now and it has seriously been pissing me off like hard core making me mad! Well finally today it was at 16.2%! Thank goodness because if it was still at 17% I probably would have been like screw this competition I am done! I also lost a quater of an inch on every spot on my body which made me really, really happy because it has only been 2 weeks since we last measured! Y'all don't understand how BIG of a deal this is but that is ok just know...ITS A BIG DEAL! It has made my day much happier already plus I don't work today which can make it a perfect day for me!

Spring has Sprung!

I looked down at the scale and what did I see? 124 STARING BACK AT ME...Spring has brought me such a nice surprise, really cute jeans that I can wear low rise. [: yes I am so excited this weekend was such a HARD weekend...holy cow try sitting through three family dinner type things and not eating any of it and with just 18 days to go it was A KILLER...seriously maybe I should have labeled this food the silent killer of joy. Haha no but seriously it was a tough weekend but totally worth it especially to see that on my scale this morning really just made all the difference. I can't believe that the thing I have been working toward in here in 18 days! It is really incredible I am excited to go do legs today and to kick butt! Then cardio and today I get to go do posing with Sandy that is exciting because I finally bought a new bikini so I wont look as ridiculous haha. Then I will work on my registration forms for this comp I have to send them in NOW or I can't compete which would make me mad haha. I plan to make today a good one...now I need a motivational picture to help me mentally prepare for today. Ok seriously I want to take this exact picture...and I will and it will be fabulous!
