Abtastic 2009 – Week 7

Xtra. ca was down yesterday, but I’ve been given the all clear to post so here goes.

I have 10 weeks left on the LL Cool J Platinum Work Out which means 10 weeks to go on Abtastic 2009 and a lot of gym time ahead of me.

If you’re wondering what a week off in Mexico does to a fitness plan…well, your first guess is probably right. After 6 weeks of busting my ass in the gym and finally seeing some results, I came home with a small Mexigut…and, surprise, I also came home to an invitiation to do a boudoir photoshoot with an incredible photographer (Ellen – www.hong-photography.com) and an amazing make up artist (Ai – www.ainagasawa.ca)…and, of course, my good friend Rob. Check out the “Boudoir” section of their sites and hey, if you’re looking for a unique gift for that special someone, you just found it.

So, in lieu of candid ab shots, I’m going to post some of the more “abby” shots from our shoot on Wednesday. Have a great weekend.
