Traci0125’s BodyBlog

Hello All,

So I need some help.  I am moving to the east coast this fall and I need to find a network of peeps for the figure world out there! I am moving to Virginia Beach area, and I would love to meet some fellow fitness friends out there!

Cheers,

Traci

I hope all of you are as excited as me as the training is beginning and the competition date is set for March is getting closer and closer. I officially got my diet and training in order and I think I am working with the nicest person ever! 

I will post some pics of my body soon, since this is the beginning and I can’t wait to see it transform. Good Luck to everyone. Stay focused and positive 

Things are going well. It is a little difficult with friends birthday’s, was everyone, including myself born in January? ha ha.

But I am lifting harder than I ever have and I am excited with getting the ball rolling. I overheard a fellow gym girl talking about competing and it got me really excited.  So for all of you working on your goals, competiting, or any other goals GOOD LUCK! Stay focused and remember, that this is a never ending road,  because you will find that you  never want this fitness journey to end!  

So tomorrow startst the beginning of the 12 week training and dieting for my first competition.  I am so excited. I have already had family members try to tell me that I don’t need to do this the week of Christmas that I am just setting myself up for failure. I am determined to look my best for my first show. I don’t expect to win but I don’t want to look ridiculous up there either.

I know my family will support me I just need to educate them more about what I need to do to reach my goals. Plus it will feel great to prove them wrong… I WILL NOT fail!

I just found out that I was lucky enought to win the lottery for the Moab Half Marathon in March! I am super excited and training begins this week. I have decided to enter the NPC Utah Gold’s classic, but I am having difficulty in finding where I can register. I think that once I register there is no looking back and it is one more step to the commitment. So if anybody knows where I can register please let me know!

Can’t believe how quickly this week has flown by. I have signed up for FAME in May taking place in Vegas!  have not been sleeping well so all except one workout has been at night. I really need to get back on schedule. Looking forward to having some good workouts over the weekend.

Being sick really took it out of me, apparently I have lost two pounds.

Had a great shoulder workout yesterday along with 40 minutes of cardio.Lifted heavy since I am trying to put some size on my delts.

So Friday had a killer bicep and tricep workout. Did 45min cardio that morning, whole day felt wonderful.  After I got home from my weight workout; I ate some yogurt and some chicken soup…. man o man was I sick to my stomach. I was so dehydrated on Saturday and still so queasy and didn’t want to throw up anymore, I couldn’t eat anything. So as a result I didn’t get a workout in on Saturday. BUMMER! Sunday felt good just dehydrated so I did light cardio and light weights. 

Today feel much much better. Can’t wait to go into the gym and do shoulders!

So Tuesday I ended up having to take off, But Wednesday was a phenomenal day! 

Got to the gym at 5:30 am did 45 minutes of cardio. then made it back to the gym for weights at 8pm. Completed an hour shoulder workout! forgot my log, so I will enter reps and weight later.
