Hello Everyone!!
I am so sorry about not providing more updates on my progression/prep for the Arnold....So...here goes!!
My training has been amazing....My body has been ready for the last three weeks and now it's just trying to maintain my weight....when it gets closer to the show, my brain seems to kick into overdrive and I have a tendency to drop weight very quickly....sooooooo right now, I have been focusing on maintaining my weight, focusing on overall conditioning and just staying positive and enjoying the journey.
For the past few years, I have suffered from insomnia....it's horrible!!! I am lucky to be sleeping a total of 3-4 hours on average....It's almost like my brain just won't shut off....I sleep like a rock for 3 hours and then wake up feeling totally rejuvenated and ready to go again....it's absolutely nuts!!! I know it's not nerves....I don't get nervous for my shows...I just feel like there is sooooooooo much too do and not enough hours in the day to get everything done......I'm going nuts i tell ya!!!!! lol....
I have all of my suits and outfits being sent to me early next week...I am so looking forward to seeing them.....I have a hair appointment booked for Tuesday and my nails/feet booked for Wednesday...The last week is the worst week...I really don't enjoy going to get pampered like that...I have a hard time sitting still for an hour or more at a time....but, I guess it needs to get done!!!
My routines are dead on....I have been working on a new 45 second routine and have improved my 2 minute routine, I have had a new outfit made and a few minor tweaks made to the music...
I have decided not to work in any booths at the Arnold Expo, but have booked numerous photo shoots and interviews over the weekend....When I'm not shooting, I will be at the Expo just walking around and enjoying my time with Dennis.
Well, I guess that's all the updates for now.....
I will try to post some pics at the beginning of the week....
Thank you everyone for your kind words and support.....I truly appreciate it.
If you're at the Arnold, please come introduce yourselves to me....I would love to meet all of you.
Take care,
Love Mindi O

p.s if you're at the expo, please don't be afraid to cheer for me....the louder the better....support your Canadian Athletes!!!

Hi Mindi,
I just want to wish you the best of luck at the Arnold. I was hoping that I could get there but it doesn't look like I am going to be able to make it.
My thoughts will be with you - go get 'em!

We know you will make all CANADIANS PROUD, CANADA IS HONORED to have citizens like you,who share their experiences, knowlegde with others. You can bet my residence will be flying the TEAMOBRIEN banner so high you will be able to see it from OHIO.
GO MINDI O
