Learning what works the hard way!
Just getting home from Team Universe! ….I bombed! LOL……Its all HINDSIGHT now….but NEVER EVER start a new diet 2 weeks before a show……. or change your suits…..in SHORT “don’t F@$ with a a good thing”….as Walt put it….haha…You know us women….we get a wild hair up our ass sometimes….and no one is going stand in our way! So, now I have to tell Walt…..(who suggested I should just stick with what I was doing being so close to a show)….he is THE MAN….omg….shoot me know…..lol
so the scoop is….I came in way TOO lean….looking flat….and more like a thin swimsuit model, instead of a shapely ATHLETE! After only two days ….of eating total crap…..and lots of it….I am already filling back out….ahhhhh…..the lessons we have to learn!
I also learned that I don’t look good in red under stage lights. Didn’t think blondes could go wrong with red…..But, the color did NOTHING for me ON STAGE. But, I wanted new suits! LOL
I was 15th straight across the board….thats 10 placings down from my 2pc….and 5 down from my 1pc showing in Chicago……..its the first time I cried after a show in a long time……even though I kinda knew I was not ON IT…..I started something and HAD TO FOLLOW THROUGH…..just how I am…..its still a disappointment…..after 3 weeks of 5 and 6 am cardio…..which just about killed me…..it was a real let down….Walt wants me to regroup and do another show in 6 weeks…. but, have not decided yet ….just want to eat my KRISPY KREMES right now….haha…..
With all mistakes, comes KNOWLEDGE. I learned a lot from this last show…..and its ALL part of the process. Everyone has to LEARN what works for them. Sometimes its just trial and error. People AlWAYS want to know what I DO in terms of diet and exercise. Everyone is unique. You can take what I do, or what others tell you they do to lay the ground work, but then its up to you to LEARN what works BEST for you. Get to know your BODY, its the best way to achieve to YOUR goals!

Strange how that works. I just spent the last week on a farm….not working out, and not necessarily eating the most perfectly engineered foods: eggs, meat and potatoes. Guess what, I gained five pounds, but ironically, after three months of a very clean diet….I looked way fuller and was, (yep shocking) more vascular. What gives with that?
