Still got it...I hope!

I had my first shoot in almost 2 yrs just a couple of days ago.

I was pretty excited/nerved up the morning of. Thinking, 'WTF am I doing?' lol.
I showed up to the location of the shoot and felt Ok. Photog was cool as hell and so easy going. He understood it's been awhile and said it'd prolly take me about 3 minutes to get my mojo back. Suuurrrrre, I thought.

The MUA was doing my MU, and in walks all these perky, skinny and 20!, girls. The photog was shooting an ad for the club we were shooting in. The last thing I wanted was an audience (especially women) watching my 'come back' shoot.

I let them do their thing and get it over with, praying they'd leave right after. lol.

Then it was my shoot. Changed, went up on the backdrop and did my thing. I'd say it took about 1 minute, not 3. lol. As soon as I was under the hot lights, it was like I never stopped.

Didn't even care who was around as soon as I started. The best part...2 of the girls walk over and start saying, "I hate you, you're like perfect," and "I would do anything to have that body, you are so lucky." ???? I'm like, "who are you talking to?" lol. They asked if I lived in a gym, which the last 8 wks, I've done my share.

Needless to say, I was kinda lost. I guess when you see yourself everyday you don't see a change. You still see what's left to lose and what's not perfect.

When I was done with the first set and changing, the photog (who mostly shoots glamour) says, "Don't lose anymore weight. Right now you're right inbetween glamour and fitness, you can go either way right now." Well hell, I'm getting my ass to the gym...I've done glamour, sign me up for fitness! lol.

I know there's a definite difference in my body, but I just can't see what everyone else is seeing.
I can NOT wait to see some of the images....fear and excitement all at once.

Stay tuned. I'm going out of town for the long wkend. Talk soon, hopefully with some images to show. :-)
