One of my favorites from after the north american. I picked up a shirt at the Arnold that says "my girl lifts more than you". I get a kick out of wearing it to the gym :)

I'll give an update for her, she's getting some extra sleep for the long weekend ahead. Friday we are going to do some posing and will get some pics to post. Saturday we are traveling to Columbus for Mike's (Davies) posing class & boot camp.

We are the only compeditors at our gym, so when we go into the aerobics room to pose we get some real funny looks :eek:


Here's one of the two of us after the North American (and yes I have a tan, can't tell it beside her)

[Lori Staats]

Look at your shoulders!!!! Looking good! How are you feeling?Thank you, Stephanie! I have dropped my carbs very low starting this week and increased the intensity of my cardio because I would like to try and do the Pittsburgh Pro/Am if I can be ready. I am very tired and feeling it this week..... trying to get plenty of rest.

Looking good girl. Keep that chin up. I'm cheering you!!! MUAHThanks for the encouragement, Kate!

i must agree with all...lookin great. i like your posing! a bit different! will we see any more pics?HI Bree....LOL.... I was just being silly. My husband always asks me for a most muscular or double bicep. Yes, I will post more pics soon. How is your prep coming along? You always look great! :awesome: I haven't gotten over to read your journal lately.

Hey Lor!

you look great how is prep going??Hi Shelly, I am hanging in there. I am somewhat behind with my prep because I have been caring for my mom who has been having heart problems for the last couple of months. So now I am having to step it up. I am going up to see Mike tomorrow for posing, so I'll see how that goes. ;) What show you getting ready for?

[bree marsh]

your regular posing is a bit different too!

[Shelly]

how was posing?? did you do the infamous boot camp?? LOL

Im doing well- doing the atlantic city pro/am and then the ohio state shows this yr!

all late in the season needed a good solid bulk :)

enjoy your weekend!:D

[Lori Staats]

your regular posing is a bit different too!Ohhh.... part of it could be the camera angle. Plus, I was playin' around that day to see what my cross legged stance might look like, but decided not to use it. I forgot about that..... don't normally pose this way. ;)

Posing went well.... I didn't get picked apart too bad... hee hee. Yeah.... boot camp... Uhhhh.... I passed on that this time.... maybe next. LOL :D
Maybe I will see you at the Ohio. Since it's open now, my husband is planning on doing it. So, I will be there to cheer you on! Good luck in your training, girl.

First, sorry for the crappy crop job. :banghead: We took a few pics at the gym today (monday) before the crowds showed up. We had a pretty busy weekend. Saturday we went to Columbus for posing with Mike (Davies). Sunday we went to Cumberland MD to pick up a kitten we adopted.

[bree marsh]

Thanks Girls, for all the kind words. I really started to tighten up after having taken those pics. I have some last minute cardio to get in this week before I will feel like I'm ready for Pittsburgh. It's hard to believe it's here so soon.
Thanks for your support! ;)

[Marie Ann Newman]

Can't wait to see you there. We will have a great time. See you in Pitts. Mo!!

[NYCStrongFox]

Really nice work Lori. I wish I had time, I would have taken the train to Pitts. We're with you in spirit. I'm sure Mike was happy too. Good luck, have fun and give them a run for the money, well trophy in this case! :D
Congrats too on adopting a kitty. That's great news too. He/she will bring you joy.

[Lori Staats]

Thanks for being so supportive with your good luck wishes!! I am so excited about this weekend. I feel good about what I have accomplished especially after getting off to a slow start. Whenever I'm in doubt, Mike always comes through for me. All I have to do is what he says, and it happens. I wasn't sure I could make it to Pitt, but sure enough he got me ready just in time.:respect:
I will post new pics before I leave for the show.
