LEANER,SEXIER, DETERMINED!

Another Beginning

MALECIA — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 19:26:34 +0000

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog. Since the competition in November I’ve been quite busy and sad to say slacking in working out. Holidays came and went, moved into a new home and next thing you know time has flown by and I went to the gym once a week at the most(if I made it at all) So I am disappointed in myself for not continuing on….

So today is another new beginning as I start the preparations to compete in on May 23, 2009. It will be 3 days after my 32nd bday(WOW!!) I am determined to make a great impression at this show.

6TH PLACE OTTAWA AND EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIPS

MALECIA — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:25:36 +0000

Hi everyone, day after the show and I am feeling good. I competed against 14 other girls in the medium figure class yesterday and I placed 6th in the end. It was such a large number of girls to be competing with and in my last show it was the same thing. Ending up in the biggest group seems to be my curse. We were out there forever and I mean forever…..but I spoke with the judges after and got some good feedback and the overall concensus is that my stage presence should have been better. I didnt exude the confidence I should have and if I had I would have placed higher… so lesson learned and next time(cant believe I am saying this) I will bring the confidence I need to place in the top 3. By no means will this discourage me It only makes me more determined for next time. So next couple of months is rest and train and go back out there in June to make a mark. I have found my calling…. I want to continue this and I will give myself one year to place in the top 3, with a lot of hard work I know I can do it…on the othere spectrum of things I almost missed my shot at competing by not leaving myself enough time to get to the comp….never again will I make that mistake….I want to cry when I think I was 2 mins from losing this opportunity….but pics will be posted soon….THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT HERE ON BODYSPACE…WATCH MY JOURNEY TO PLACE TOP 3 BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR!!!!

Been M.I.A…..I know

MALECIA — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 04:49:26 +0000

Hello everyone…back again and yes I am still competing on Nov 1st. Its been a while since I blogged, its been so busy but Im back so you all can know where I am.
Its 3wks and 4 days until show day…..YIKES! I have been training hard and cardio, cardio. Everything seemes to be coming along well I just hope it all goes well on show day. I have to admit its been a tough few weeks….ive made some slip ups,…ate something I shouldnt have but I always got back on track and its 95% clean eating. I know these last few weeks will be the toughest and in actuallity I have only 2wks and 4 days left since the last week is a write off. So I will hopefully post some pics by week end and blog again soon, if not everyone keep their fingers crossed and me on their minds cause I need the extra help right about now

I AM LOSING IT…..FAT THAT IS!!

MALECIA — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 01:58:11 +0000

Hey everyone thought I’d stop by and write a post today cause I am excited
Talk about what a day of proper eating can do for you..I will be posting pics tomorrow but I am so excited with the fact that I am losing the fat or atleast some, my problem area(upper thigh and butt) is coming along slowly….but I know I am losing there also cause all my pants are loose around the hip area and just below my butt cheeks. But the exxcitement is coming from the way my abs are popping today, my co-worker mentioned to me that she can see my that my arms are defining more, now that is excitement!!!
So I am doing more cardio, for the past two days I have been up and on the bike 30min each time, I think that is what is gonna make the difference, it is funny how different my body is shaping up this time around, its definately not the same, in a good way. I am excited to showcase all the hard work and dedication that I have put into for this show, the fact of doing this all with three kids, work, seperation and selling a house all says something to me about me. I dont give up and I will fight to the end. I am a stronger person to be able to come out on top and I am going to put my all into this, no half-assing it and no giving up. No not doing my cardio and no skipping workouts, it is only 5 weeks and 4 days until the show…that is nothing….I can do this

IT’S ON 6 WEEKS TIL SHOWTIME

MALECIA — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 00:56:17 +0000

Hello everyone who choses to read my blog, I am feeling good today, its a rest day. I am six weeks away from hitting the stage again and I am optomistic and just cant wait. Looks like I will be able to either purchase or rent some suits for the show, I cant wait to see them, I will be doing that at the end of the month. Still have to buy shoes but that is a minor detail right now. If you have followed my progress pics you will see my progress is coming along. Although I lost weight due to a stressfull event in my life it really gave me a head start, I dropped about seven lbs, I put on a pair of jeans the other day that I was never able to get past my legs and butt, I put them on friday and I could button them, I could actually button them up, they were still tight in the thigh area but around the waist it was actually loose, actually now that I think of it all my pants are too big now, its really got me pretty pumped
So 6 weeks away and the time is gonna fly, I am determined to hit that stage looking the best I can and I am walking away in top 3, screw that I am walking away number 1!!! Wish me luck. I will be posting atleast every week or more until show day.

Why does life throw you curveballs??

MALECIA — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 17:20:43 +0000

Here I am back again so much has happened in the last week. I am now seven weeks out and although I still will compete I have had to deal with so much. I am in the midst of seperation, selling my house and trying to make sure my kids will be able to eat. All this because of one person and their actions, I can’t change what happened but I can change what will happen from now on. To have someone who’s been in your life so long betray you in the way he did me and my children, its hard to deal with. Now he has to deal with the charges laid against him which is fine cause he has to pay for what he has done, no doubt about that but the ripple effect is astounding.
So I haven’t trained all week, I have lost weight due to stress and my mind is mush. I know I have to get back on track, its just hard. Just when you think your life is on track it throws you a curveball….it just sucks!

8 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS!!

MALECIA — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:56:05 +0000

So its crunch time, I cant believe its 2 months out from my second competition. I feel good, excited and ready to kick butt. It seems everyday I see something new that makes me feel like "yes" I am going to be on and then there are days when I feel like its just not good enough. Today is an in between day….so hopefully I feel great tomorrow.
I had an opportunity to meet my "coach" or so I like to call him. My workout was alot more intense and I am still feeling it today(lol) cause you know you are working alot harder with eyes over your shoulders
That being said every workout has to be just as intense until show day, I am determined to place in top 3 or damn close to it and I want to leave that show wanting more!!
Also my calories and carbs have been cut down so that I can jump start some more fat loss and I am looking into getting on some fat burners to help out with the process, I will be posting pics by the end of the week so everyone can see how Ive come along….:D

Damn!! Where did my breasts go!!

MALECIA — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 05:14:17 +0000

Before I lay down and sleep off the intense workout I did today I wanted to talk about that one thing you know is going to happen but are never really prepared for(as a woman). My breast are slowly getting smaller and smaller….I dont like it
So Ive got to consider the fact that it means I am losing bodyfat but I still dont like it
What is going to happen once I seriously cut down, I aint going to be left with much, lol, what’s a girl to do…..now I am thinking that I am going to have to buy me some, either that or gain back the weight……which is no option right now.
With all the risks of having that kind of surgery and everything that comes after, is it really worth it? I know my bf doesn’t want me to get them cause he says they dont feel nice but they sure are nice to look at
So if I was to continue to compete should I get them to complete the package or not? While I sleep on that thought it would be great to get feedback on this from anyone who has thought of doing it, done it or any men who want to put their comments in….

EAT, SLEEP, TRAIN, REPEAT

MALECIA — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:53:01 +0000

That is the mantra of the day, eat, sleep, train, repeat,but right now I cant sleep. Its been hard trying to sleep but once I am sleeping I cannot get up the next day. I think everything is just sucked out of me, between training, working, kids and life in general I am wondering how I am doing this?? Why am I doing this??
It has only been 1 and 1/2 weeks since I have been cutting and it feels like months, tuna is my best enemy/friend, I need to start a chicken farm to support the daily chicken eating and water has taken on new meaning….eating every 2-3 hrs and working out, sweating, hurting and pushing….why, why??
Just so I can look the best, the best….yeah I sacrifice to look the best. I sacrifice the food, the time, the things u just want but cant, I am sacrificing for the bigger picture….you’ll see it too or if you already have then you know that I mean, the fire is burning…..
which is probably why I cant sleep

It’s a done deal! YIKES!!!

MALECIA — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:19:03 +0000

I am having a breakdown inside, you see on friday afternoon I filled out the form and cheque, put it in an envelope, licked it, sealed it and dropped it in the mail and as it slipped through my fingers my heart started beating. I sent it in…..I have sent in the registration for the S.A.F model search which is being held on the same day as the comp. Which means I am doing it! I have committed myself, I have paid for it, I am locked in .
So now I cannot back out last minute. Very proud of myself cause I almost didnt mail it, I was going to wait until monday but I knew I had to send it.
Yesterday was my sons 4th b-day, I was good, no cake, brought my own food while everyone else was having kfc. Then came home and had two mini-bags of popcorn(smart-pop) which is not on my diet but I just had to have (lol) not bad though, could have been worse.
So today is quads, chest, tris and alactic cardio, It will be the first time I will actually get to run through the whole workout since I started the new workout, usually I have only gotten through half due to time but that half was killer so we will see how I do with all of it. My weight is dropping since starting the new workout, about a 1lb a week which is right on target to get me to my goal for the show.
So I am going to pull myself out of bed and get this day started, cant be slacking I have a show in 10 weeks
