Putting on the Muscle!!!

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Im hitting it hard, focusing on putting on some quality muscle, cardio is minimal at this point. Detraining so I can once again rev up my engine and get it ready to kick up the cardio once I hit my next phase of training. 13 Weeks out to the NPC show in CALI. Wish me luck! :0)

Contest Prep in the works……

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

I’ve started my contest diet. Its been a while since Ive really had my mind and body in the game. It’s crazy, but I realized that when my schedule is hectic, busy training clients and my regular 40 hr a week job, I seem to be more in tune to stick to my training and eating regime. You would think just the opposite? It could be because I want to be an inspiration to my clients, and not be one of those fatty trainers that talk the talk but don’t walk the walk?  Im excited to get back into comp shape. I know Ive gained a few pounds of muscle during my off season. Im feeling great and focused. Im about to embark on the most delightful journey!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

May 17th~On the Move…

Monday, May 19th, 2008

  Full body w-o. (Had hit a bump in the road). Worked legs so hard I was nauseated. Once I finished my workout, I ended up having a really bad headache, almost like a migrane. Not a very good workout today.

“I’m Back with a Vengeance”

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

This is my first post since forever: I just wanted to include this webcast link to my page. I really enjoyed this webcast Fitshow Episode 48 with Gina Aliotti. I did not have any other way to download the webcast to my page.. I think other Figure competitors will get motivated by watching this~Enjoy!! 

http://webcast.bodybuilding.com/fitshow/fitshow/episode48/fsi_syntrax.htm

First let me tell you a little about me. I had started being consistant with my workouts and eating in October of 2006. I had a goal in mind, I knew I wanted to compete but still had not set any dates for a show until January 2007. By this time, I knew I was ready to get serious and start putting a 110% into my mind and body. I was so focused and dedicated. I had this drive in me, I knew what I wanted to do, and knew what I wanted my body to look like. Mid-March I hired a coach to help me with my diet, and was focusing on doing the NPC MID USA Competition in town. This worked out wonderfully. I went from 130lbs (BF% ??) to 118lbs and 14% bodyfat. This was the lowest weight I had been in a very long time. I had never felt better. Even though I was dieting so hard and low on energy, I felt so good. Healthy and balanced. The OCB SW Naturals were coming up also, but it was earlier than I thought I would be ready for.. My coach said I should try it just to get my feet wet and know what to expect at the NPC. So I did it. Unfortunately, I did not enter the Open division since I was not really familiar with what divisions to enter? I ended up taking 1st place Novice and

1st Place

Overall. I had people from the audience coming up to me telling me I should always enter the Open, no matter what! They said I had a really good chance at getting a high placing if I would have entered the Open. ~Now, I know better~.  Following the two competitions I had done in June ‘07. I had completely let my mind games get the best of me. I had no willpower, after depleting so drastically. My thoughts were, I would take a week off, and then continue to eat clean during the week, and have one cheat meal a week while I try to increase my calories just a bit to work on gaining some muscle. That didn’t happen. Instead, I went crazy, eating things, I would not normally eat even before I was dieting.. 

My body was freaking out because I had completely gained all the weight back that I had lost and then some. I stopped going to the gym consistantly, embarassed as to what people would say after coming up to me and telling me how great I was looking and then totally turning into a PIG. I had lost my desire and drive to get back in the groove. I seemed to not have any control over the cravings for sweets. This took its toll on my body and my mind. During this time that I was going through this downfall, I broke up with my boyfriend, and lost my grandfather. This just added to the pain and I felt like there was a weight just pulling me down, further and further. 

  It’s been too long since my last competition, and well, Im sick of feeling like I have no control. I miss feeling GOOD and in Control. I miss having that DRIVE!! I have been looking for it the last month or so..and still have not empowered myself completely YET… but I know it will come once I start hitting the gym consistantly again. I just want to get within 10lbs of my comp weight. I am sure I’ve gained a some muscle from the heavy workouts I have been doing during this time of inconsistancy. I know I can do it.. I just have to get to it!  

My mission is to get back into competition shape, and this time keep track of my diet and my training here, and be a transformation success story. I don’t know if there are many women who fall off the wagon, just to start all over again, but I AM going to do it. This time, the right way. My goal is to stay consistant after the competition and stay within 7-10lbs from competition weight. Lord knows, it’s not going to be an easy task to do what I did the last time. Especially since I weigh 16 lbs more than I did back then. “My mind is strong, and my body will follow what I visualize my body doing”.. I know I will do this, and hope you will join me on this journey.  * I will be posting my before ;0(  and after photos as soon as I get them downloaded.*
