The Protein Gods have answered my prayers. Either that or the team at Allmax just really likes me. I can see it now: they were browsing though my bodyspace profile, saw that my favorite cheat foods are anything chocolate and peanut butter, and went to work in the lab creating the perfect protein just for me. Right?

Well, I guess it is possible that this is just a coincidence that happens to be AWESOME! Allmax has new flavors of IsoFlex coming out very soon, and one of them is CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER! Yum!

I miss competing! Plain and simple. This has been the longest break away from the stage that I have taken since I started. It was a much needed break, but at the same time I am itching to bust out my Jan Tana and clear heels and get my little brown butt back under those stage lights. And the million-dollar question: What is next?

This is where I need some help. Any advice from my competitor friends would be so great, so please chime in!

I competed in the NPC for over 2 years. I know that organization, I am familiar with it, and I like the exposure that it provides. BUT… I don’t think I have what it takes to make it to the top, for reasons that have to do with my own personal values and preference to remain marketable and feminine. At the national level, there are 200 girls at these shows and I am afraid I will get lost in the crowd. But that isn’t too much of a worry to stop me from trying!

I am also curious about other natural organizations, where I feel like it would be a much more realistic goal to get a pro card. But I don’t know a lot about these shows, so that would be like starting all over again, although I wouldn’t expect it to be too difficult.

So basically, I haven’t made any decisions yet so I don’t have a set plan of what is next. What do you think?
