Shannon Dey’s BodyBlog

Ok…so I have to admit, I am having SO much fun getting ready to get back on stage this year! 

I had a year and a half lay off due to having to take care of my hubby last season because he tore his ENTIRE quad off of the bone!  Then, the only Pro Fitness show available early this season was the NY Pro, and that just happened to be the same weekend as the SouthernUSA/Shannon Dey Classic. 

So, here I am…getting ready for the fall shows and I can’t believe how much fun I am having with this.   I LOVE  training, and the diet after all these years is really no biggie…just a part of life.  My routine music and costume is a ton of fun this year… and, I am truly excited to get back on stage!!

 I have only competed in 4 pro shows since getting my pro card, and I must admit….my placings have been pretty tough.  But, like always…I won’t give up, I’ll keep working and give it 110%!!!  In life, if we believe in ourselves, believe in our dreams, don’t let disappointment derail us and WORK for it, things WILL work out!! In the NPC, I went from LAST place at Nationals to FIRST place at Nationals and my Pro Card within in one year!!  What we want in life is already out there…it is up to US to go and get it!!  

I have made HUGE improvements in my physique this past year…no more skinny girl!!  By taking time off from competing, and with the unbelievable help of Mike Davies I actually have some curves!

If you are going to be at the Europa, please stop me and say hi!  And any support from the audience during the show would be TRULY appreciated!

 Thanks for reading, I’ll post more as the show gets closer, and best of luck to you ALL in reaching your DREAMS!! 

Hey all!  Just a little blurb to promote my music guy.  He is the best I have worked with over the years, is truly a nice guy and works FAST! I was having trouble finding someone and asked everyone here on Bodyuilding.com, he was referred to me by Mindi O’Brien and is FANTASTIC!!  Here’s what he has to say:

Hi There,
My name is Scott from the soundDOME studio, the official audio engineer for
Fame as well as other affiliated organizations such as the IFBB, NPC, OPA. WNSO
and UFE. With the bar being set higher, more and more competitors are
looking for an edge wherever possible. Your music is almost as important as the
actual routine is and most don’t even realize it. Around 80% of my clients have
placed at a show including myself taking 5th at the Worlds last year in the
advanced Muscle catagory. I know what a competitor needs and usually have a
routine ready for you within 24 hours. There is almost nothing I cannot do, FX,
explosions, screams, a car skidding etc. I can combine any amount of song
parts together to make a routine worthy of a judges high marks and attention.
Completed usually within 48 hours, Your routine music can be done over the
internet or in
person, which ever is more convenient for you and very reasonably priced from
$100.00 to 150.00. If you would like to know more, call me at 905 574-0624 or
Email at scott@sounddome.ca Thanks for your time and if you could, please pass
this onto some of your friends or someone you might know is looking to have
their music done. Thanks so much …Scott
