Cut Week.

 So we are in the final week of this fall 90 day challenge.  I can honestly say I have never worked harder for any physical goal then I did for this 90 days.  It was grueling.  I was at about 12 workouts a week, eating copious amounts of protein and veggies and pushing through some serious injuries.  My body has never been strong and I have never tried to gain lean muscle mass before so I am way behind as far as my ultimate goals.  Here I am in my first of 2 immersion baths for this week.  It's basically just below boiling in order to push the water out of my body in an expedited manner.  And it stinks.  I cried a little.  I am tired and hungry and thirsty and just plain exhausted.  But I also see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Side note: This is my brand new, never worn, expensive swim suit I purchased after my last 90 day challenge and it's already too big! 

1 week left.

Yesterday I had my first professional, commercial photo shoot with Lifetime Fitness.  The pictures will be used in their upcoming marketing campaign for the 2015 90 day challenges (both spring and fall). I felt extremely awkward for a lot of the time but they were all very kind and patient.  I felt much more comfortable when they had my throw punches and kicks.  I am excited to see the end results/edits soon though.  This year has been such a crazy adventure, taking me places I didn't even want to go at first but now love that I'm there!  So much fun.  So, here is to finishing this last week of my fall change strong and determined.

Photo Shoot Ready!

Hi Kelli!

I just wanted to follow up today to inform you that you’ve been selected by our committee as a photo-shoot finalist!  Congratulations!  Final details are being arranged with the photographer, but the date will be next Thursday, Oct 23^rd.  We do not have times defined yet but will be approx. 3-4 hours of time in the morning or afternoon. I will narrow in on those details and get back to you with a more defined schedule as soon as possible.  Pending finalized dates, are you still able/willing to participate?  We are very excited for this opportunity!

Please let me know if you are still interested in being a part of this fun marketing opportunity within the next 1-2 days.  Once we hear from you, Erin (cc’d on this email) from our marketing team will be reaching out to you directly with further details.

Thanks again!  I look forward to hearing from you soon!  J

Headshots

 I was asked to take a few headshots for the upcoming photo session for Lifetime Fitness.  Here is a sneak peek of what I sent them. Fingers crossed they like them!

First BJJ Tournament

 I had my first bjj tournament at the St Croix grappling games this last weekend.  I won one match in sudden death with a suicide throw and lost 2 match (all were very close) to take 4th overall.  I had so much fun and it was such a great experience for my first tourney!

 That night we all met up at Neisen's for some more grappling and kickboxing matches.  Below are my fellow Fight Shape girls!
