SCRATCH North Americans
Hey peeps, can’t believe yesterday was 5 weeks out from North American. Although the progress is going well I’ve decided NOT to do NA. I know, I know!! I’m about as indecisive as they come!! I’m really training hard but I’m not feeling it…I’m not feeling it all. And w/ 35 years on this earth I’ve learned if I’m not feeling something is best not to do it! Been there done that..when I do do something I’m not feeling I always regret it after the fact!!! So, that leaves two National shows on the calendar and a few large regional shows attached to a PRO show. For now, all I’m going to say is that I’m training my azz off and you never know where I’ll show up, lol!! Just know that I’ll be on someone’s stage this year…just a matter of when!!
Here are my pics from last week when I was 6 weeks out, weighing 138….but now it’s just a progress pic!!! My monthly visitor came by so I didn’t feel like taking pics this week even though I can say the vascularity sure is popping now!! Weight was 138.4 yesterday. Would have been pissed, but under the circumstances won’t get too upset….but, I expect to see 135 next week.
Diet is pretty good. Making sure I don’t go below 1200 calories. I’ve also told myself no matter what I refuse to do more than 2-1hr cardio sessions a day…PERIOD. I’ve been averaging 3 days of 2-1hr. sessions, the rest of the week I’m just doing 1 hr. Which is another reason I’m not feeling NA. I’m just not willing to do 3-1hr. session every single day to get ready, which is what I would have to do….so will keep training for the next show!
USA was pretty interesting. Figure is figure…happy 2c Akane and Candice walk away w/ their PRO cards!!! I admire anyone who can do back to back shows and look on top of their game the way they did last season. Big Props to Kristal Marshall for winning the overall in Bikini!! I absolutely luv her look.
That’s about it for now!!! Hope everyone has a great week!

Girl I must say the pics are marvelous. My husband works out and so do I but not nearly enough. I’m rooting for you and hopefully we can come see one of your local competions. You make an old lady like myself want to stay in the gym and lose this ab and butt from these 3 kids. Stay on top of your game and know you have a fan for life. Keep in touch.
