As far as the equipment, most of it is Life Fitness equipment from the gym and we had some other pieces of our own. 
) I also got my other bank card so I called them to change the PIN and to help me log on to their new website system. This lead me to think that I should sign up for direct deposit, I filled out the paper work and drove to the university and turned it in. While I was there I dropped the scholarship letter in the mail and went to the printing services to print one of my competition pictures for JT's mom. She's been asking me for one for quite a while now. I also got a replacement student ID card. During my trips I noticed that my car kept shuddering... I called the service department again and they said to bring it back...*sigh* I dropped it off and they gave me another loaner for the weekend. I was talking to another figure competitor and she was telling me she was amazed with my ass...literally! Lol! She was asking how I got it so small?! (Uhh...I think it only looks small in clothes cause it doesn't feel very small in my suit. LOL! ) She came in when I posed later and she was very positive and supportive. Friday: 6-4-10

Notes about today:
I was so productive today! I got so much of my to do list done! After I got ready at the gym this morning I went to the bank then off to the DMV (ugh) to get my replacement driver's license. While I was visiting with the DMV lady I decided to also get a state ID card, just in case something happens to my DL and I need an ID...
Afterwards I came home sorted mail, signed my acceptance letter for a scholarship, found my passport (in case my DL doesn't come in enough time for the trip to Chicago), and called in my car payment. (The website wouldn't work.
After I left the dealer I went to the gym and realized I was pooped! Lol! I took my stimulants and jumped in the tanning bed with my Ipod to get in the right frame of mind. During my lift quite a few people were pretty encouraging.
Meredith, just stopping by to say "Woo Hooo!!!"
So I dropped by to wish them happy birthday. When I got there he said, "I'm so glad you came!" That made me feel crappy for thinking about not going. I chit-chatted for a little bit and then was on my way. I went to Walmart and it seemed like I was in there forever. Everything I did seemed like such a HUGE chore, I kept thinking, "Snap out of it you little wiener!" :action-s: Especially since I ate so much today, you'd think I'd have more energy. I think I may have had too much?! One older lady from England that I visit with at the gym said to me, "Are you getting ready for something, cause you are looking quite skinny." ...skinny? Of all the words she could have used...she picks...skinny. :devil-s:i I just laughed and said yes. After I left the gym I went over to my aunts to visit with them a while. It was nice to just sit in her back yard and chat. It rarely ever happened to me before, I slept like the dead, but lately it's become quite common. It sucks when we're in Three Forks because we've been sleeping upstairs and the bathrooms are downstairs. I have to fumble out of bed, down the stairs and try to carefully maneuver through the gym to my bathroom and then back. When I wake up I try to pretend that's not what roused me from my sleep. I roll over and think, "I can hold it, I can hold it...*sigh*...dang it!" I have a feeling tonight is going to be no different.
Shoot Lynx...That was a productive day...I'll bet exhauasting but satisfying in the end. Any which one of those tasks would be an accomplishment for me right about now lol
I really wasn't up for socializing but I was forced out of my apartment by my pressing need for more toilet paper.
You know I just have to add that I'm getting very annoyed with waking up in the middle of the night to go potty!

Notes about today:
My morning was taken up with food prep...boring! Other than that I really didn't do much all day. Two front desk clerks at Gold's were celebrating their birthday and one of them, John, kept after me about going. *sigh* I really wasn't up for socializing but I was forced out of my apartment by my pressing need for more toilet paper.

Notes about today:
Legs went pretty well today. People are noticing that I've lost weight, I have several people in the last couple of days ask me if I was getting ready for something. Lol! I guess I need to be 2 weeks out before anyone notices!
You know I just have to add that I'm getting very annoyed with waking up in the middle of the night to go potty!
. Then to call you skinny, ahhhhh! As you know they don't have a clue. During my prep people I worked with asked the same dumbass questions everyday! It got annoying as all get out. The latter part of my prep I was up to 3 gallons of crystal light a day, I was up 3 times during the night for the bathroom...I hear ya..it sucks, all you want to do is train and sleep the day away! You doing great, looking great and almost there. Keep it up, you have kept us all inspired!
It's indeed a VERY detailed journey you grace us with, Meredith...
LMAO!!!
That's funny. It's funny how most people don't get it
Yeah, it's pretty irritating having to get up in the middle of the night. :chee;y-sm But last night I slept the entire way through.
LOL, yeah that prostate must be acting up.
I hoping to either really throw someone off or bait someone who wanted to sound really smart, "Duh, hey man, girls don't have prostates!" haha, I'm too bored at work today I think.
Well, that awesome. Oh, and I have a feeling someone is going to be copying my suit. LOL! And of all the days that this training session would fall on...Monday. Yep everyone is doing either shoulders/chest or biceps. I was getting quite frustrated. Later tonight when I went back in to do my cardio I just kept thinking how I could have went to Three Forks on Saturday because they didn't even have my stupid car fixed! :srt-smi So I took it out on the only person I could. I punished myself on that darn treadmill for an hour. I was so sweaty when I was done but still extremely pissed off. It didn't even put a dent in my rage. I almost packed up the loaner car when I got home and headed to T.F. I was thinking, "WTF, why not? I'm not the least bit tired I'm so mad right now!" But I know when I showed up around 3am I would be in BIG trouble. Plus it's raining and with my tendency for driving above the speed limit and it being night time my unlucky ass would either get pulled over or end up in the ditch. :che;ky-sm
As I was putting my suit away in the locker room a gal struck up a conversation with me:
Her: "Is that your suit?"
Me: Yes. *I show it to her* I love it!
Her: It's very nice, who made it for you?
Me: CCfitwear out of Florida. They do great work!
Her: Oh I know, I'm going to have them make mine for my show.
Me: Oh, cool! Where's your competition?
Her: I haven't competed in three years. I've been pregnant for two, so this will be my first show since being pregnant.
Me:
Her: Yeah, it's going to be in Spokane this fall.
Me: Oh, the Night of Champions?
Her: *surprised* Yeah...I'm going to have CCfitwear make my suit, what kind of fabric is that?
Me: I'm not sure, she sent me samples of the colors I asked her for and I just picked this one. People told me it was a good color on me so I thought why not for a suit right?
Her: Yeah, it is a great color.
At this point two other figure competitors I know came into the locker room and were asking me tons of questions about the show. They were pretty excited and she just left. The conversation with her was very weird and cold, almost snobby and she would barely look at me.
The funniest (well... saddest) thing about this little talk is she was probably staring at you from head to toe thinking to herself "So that's HER... Miss LA 2009?!?! Pfttt the competition must have been the weakest ever on that day... I'm looking so much better".
Oh jealousy...
Today is another day, Meredith! Just do your thing cause there's that shiny 1st place trophy patiently waiting for u to lift it up next week!
Oh well, maybe I just rubbed her the wrong way.
My car is FINALLY DONE!!!! When I got back to my apartment I started packing up all the stuff I wanted to bring to Three Forks. It felt like the biggest undertaking ever! On my way out of town I stopped by the university to drop off some paperwork. When I arrived I visited with JT and his parents for a little bit and he wanted to drive into Bozeman (30 miles away) to pick up season 2 of Supernatural. I SO didn't want to go but we figured I could do my cardio in there while he trained legs. Get it done & out of the way for the evening. When we pulled into town we passed Mat on his way out to our house. Lol! He pulled around and picked up Supernatural then kept me company as I finished my cardio session. Cardio goes so much faster when you get to visit with someone. ::ction-sm We came back home and watched an episode before bed. It was a great night.
