My first hold

It's not perfect, but I did get my butt and both legs off of the ground. A week ago I couldn't do this. Now I need to practice it and smile without looking like my eyes are going to pop out of my head.=)

14 1/2 weeks

I am 14 1/2 weeks away from my competition. I am definitely making progress. I will be posting new pictures on Friday, along with new measurements. I still need to find someone to help me put together a routine. So if you know anyone that teaches gymnastics or dance, please let me know!!!

This weekend was difficult because I went to a wedding, but I did great. I stayed on track and danced the night away!! Saturday afternoon before I went to the basketball gym at the rec center and ran stairs. However, today is not such a good day!!! One of my problems is that when I start to see progress I feel really good and think that it is okay to cheat a little, but then realize how far I am still and regret it. So I need to reevaluate and focus the rest of the week.
