Just a little update… I completed Vision Quest II at Team U in New York City on Sept. 06. 2008. I earned my IFBB Pro Figure Card by placing first in my class.
Stay tuned for Vision Quest III…. Journey to the Olympia.

Well I wanted to be a contender on the National Stage this season… it looks as if my goal has been met. I placed 5th in my first National contest ever and indeed would consider myself a contender. But…. and there is ALWAYS a but, I would like to take it a bit further and place 1st at Team Universe in my class. Why? Because I want to go to Spain baby!!! I want this… isn’t that good enough reason???
I have a few things in mind to do…. get about 3 pounds leaner whilst growing some lower lats, a booty, and getting some suits that suit me. (get the pun?) I have a about 4 working weeks left to do this….. like Muhammed Ali said, "Don’t count the days, make the days count."
See ya’ll on the other side!!!
Oh and btw… I’ll be happy with whatever place I receive… even if it’s dead ass last…. I am thankful to God for affording me this opportunity and can’t spend the rest of my life wonder "what if"… I HAVE got to go and see this thing through….

123 today. Check. Starting Hardgainer’s Handbook 21 week program Monday. Been checking out the National Level NPC Figure girls turned Pro and thinking I need to get building on those shoulders for sure.
Wrist injury has me working out on Hammer Strength machines for many of my lifts. I have lost a lot of strength. I have to stop thinking about the past and viewing myself as weak; and start looking toward the future with "Vision" of exactly what I am working on building and not worry about the numbers. Boy that was a long sentence!
If there were no such thing as contest or mirrors, I would still love lifting. It really takes the edge off. I can walk into the gym with my shoulders up to my ears from stress and leave feeling like a Super hero with no worries. I guess you could say it’s good meditation also.

Ok…..I couldn’t handle the bulk just yet. I am going to cut for the next month with the goal of getting down to 120-123 by October 1. Then I will start my bulk. I have to get rid of some of the post contest blubber first. I simply can’t handle it!!!

The last time I checked I had a lean body mass of about 104 pounds measured via calipers. I would like to add 4 to 5 pounds of lean body mass by February 1. I am thinking I would like a pound on each shoulder, a pound on each butt cheek, and another quarter pound for each quad, and other half pound to be placed on my lats and lower back.
Sounds pretty funny, I know. The strange thing is I actually believe I can "place" my meat.
I am placing a limit of 128 pounds total on myself throughout the winter to make sure that when it comes to cutting time, I can kick my feet up and cut at a reasonable pace.
I am going to follow the same 21 week periodization program I did last season. I will start August 27 and work it thru January 7.
From January 8 thru the end of February I am keeping this up in the air. Maybe I will come across something in a magazine or online that intrigues me, or maybe I will work reluctant body parts. (shoulders) Or maybe I will go swimming….you never know.
Then from March 01 thru the end of May comes the cutting diet combined with the cardio and 6 days a week weight training. YIKES!!!
I plan to compete next season at 118-120 pounds. I am figuring about 108-109 pounds of lean mass and 10 to 12 pound of delicious fat.
I have a lot of work to do on one hand, but on the other hand I want to make sure I don’t overshoot and look like a dude. I have figured out that the judges like their physiques to be somewhat girlie and curvaceous. That’s why I am building out my shoulders and booty, cause I have quite a thick waist and need to add to the illusion of looking like Jessica Rabbit.
Well that’s PART of the plan.
