I’m BACK in this blog!
I have been out of this particular blog for awhile. I have been nudged to get back in here. HOWEVER… About every ten days I submit my entire prior week’s diet, training, and tid-bits of my current Team Universe prep to the lovely editorial team here at BodyBuilding.com, and they feature it in the official PRO/AM Blog on the main BodyBlogs/BodySpace page! It’s certainly a huge motivation to be accountable to the viewing audience! To my chagrin I think, I was actually approached at a new gym and at my old and asked if I was the pro in the blog on bodybuilding… I said well, wow, not a pro, but maybe that’s me yes? LOL I always get recognized at shows when I compete by two or three BodyBuilding.com regulars. At my previous job, that I miss horribly, I had a small pack of mentally deficient teenagers that e-stalked me, seriously, and came to the gym for two years. One was actually revoked of his membership for a thread he started right here that pissed off my then boss, the executive director. It’s really strange to be an absolute nobody, and have a teeny part of the world recognize you in public.
Please visit my progress articles and YouTube videos (they will be embedded with this week’s update) and help me stay in the game with most of my brain intact! People are so nice about helping you out, its refreshing. Lots of cool stuff is happening lately and its about damned time! After a year of torment and hell (thats all I will elaborate) its so great to finally be back on track and headed in new and unbelievable directions and people out there taking notice and being cool enough to help out! I will go into more about all the new ventures and good things happening in the next few weeks… promise. I will say that I will be visiting BodyBuilding.com headquarters in Boise, ID the last week in August but you’ll have to wait and see why!
Doing well on my prep, I had secured a partial tanning sponsor, until they likened it to arsenic and mustard gas! Now I am planning to use the ever-wonderful airbrush spray tan the last 3 weeks and before the show, I dont want to age any faster let alone cancer, and the painting that is done pre-show is so freaking dark, no need for the pre-tanning. I never tan my face or neck before anyway, I cover it, slather it daily with moisturizers and SPF 25 and little eye creams, and pre-anti fine line creams, all that stuff to keep my face looking just like this for the next 30 years or so! I dont believe in any kind of facial procedures to make one look younger, no botox, collagen, etc… I am only 33 but damn, a friend of mine is 27 and just had Juvederm put into her face!! YUCK.
I plan to blog here daily again, but the training and diet and contest stuff, for the most part will be in the articles located in the PRO/AM BLOG; I will let a few things through here in this blog, but I am using this one to complain and vent and showcase the more normal things in life while prepping for a HUGE show…. thanks and hope I can share something of worth to you all! Seems all anyone does nowadays in these things is bitch about how wronged they have been, or BS bragging which is the same idiocy… so I will try to keep it interesting and whine free!
