I competed on saturday and placed second behind a pro.  I was very pleased with my first performance ever.  I received extremely positive feedback from the judges.  They all said I’m built for this and that I shoudl definitly keep up with competing because I could have a very great career ahead of me.  I need to work on my butt and legs.  I know if I train a little longer and get a better diet…one that is more tailored to me things will go much better and I won’t be so bitchy.  So if any one works up figure diets please let me know I am willing to pay so long as it is tailored to me and is good.  But keep training everyone and best of luck…see you all soon!! also pics will be up soon. 

YEs yes yes down to 118.4 sooo excited finally broke past 119 that’s always my sticking point. seing alot of great changes will hopefully get some pics done before this weekend b/c i won’t get the ones from this weekend for a few weeks.  i’m getting stoked for the Arnold can’t wait i’ll be down friday through sunday it’s going to be amazing…I must also do some job searchign b/c i HATE/LOATH lowes…stupid schedule keeps messing w/ my training and my family to top it all off.  but any who training is going great…suit fits a lil better than it did…but shoes should be here on thurdsay if not sooner…diet is going great.  well any ideas or thoughts just shoot em to me … but for now i must go shower adn get kota to school and me to work but,,,keep up training everone!!

Well i’ve really got a lot to update everyone on.  I am no longer competing b/c I had a bad reaction to something i was taking mixed with the stress of diet exercise, child, shitty work schedule pannign a wedding and moving.  yeah i think that’s it…..hah..so i had a really bad rash all over my face and pretty much looked like a freak in my opinion.  so i am post poning competing until my life simmers a lil bit.  but i am still working out and am going to go back to my normal healthy eating this week….i had to enjoy myself a little.    I am hanign out at about 122 which is lower than I was before i started training…it’s amazing what getting rid of some stress will do for your body.  I also am continuing to train with low weight high rep b/c it’s giving me teh leaner look i want instead of high weight low rep and being bulkier…not that i minded but i’ll look better in my wedding dress this way.  It’s still fun that i’m stronger than all the guys at work…for example when I squated a 31×15 foot piece of carpet into a bay over my head while three people stood there watching w/ their jaws on the floor.  but any who keep training any one and see you all soon. 

Ok here it goes…I took my first set of pre contest photos earlier today…I have my diet, and supplements ready to go.. Sat down and packaged out my meals for the next week in advance..I am so ready to do this…also I have a thread started on musculardevelopment.com so if you are on there also add me I am figuremom.  I am very excited to FINALLY start my training adn all at the perfect time.  My ex is giving over full custody and rights so I should be able to move when all said and done and start doing what I do best….training…htank goodness.  Well wish me luck and I will have my supplement list, diet and begining stats up soon…good luck everyone.

So that great week I had went out the window come saturday night and sunday…..way to much alcohol and food between the two days….damnit!!!!  I’m just going to have to bust my ass this week to make up for it and get back on track.  I shouldn’t complain considering I dropped about a pound and a half today alone, but that was with almost 2 hours in the gym…and classes start on tommorrow so I can’t afford that kind of time any more.  I’ll figure it out and make it work.  Here’s the start of another great week…my workout was really good today I had a great pump and my arms are coming along nicely and my legs are getting deeper…always a plus!!

Again I’m sitting at work, kind of bored, I have not motivation today.  I still need to decide what to get my boyfriend for valentines day?!! I’ll figure it out soon I hope.  Diet is still going pretty well.  I’m still seeing more change in my definition but my body fat percentage won’t budge and I just discovered I"m not where I thought I was…ugh.  I’m definitly at a plataue, can’t wait until the Arnold so I can get a bunch of supplements and decide which one I like the best.  That is going to be the only way that I can get past this plataue.  All well have to do what I have to do.  Training is going well, seeing large increases in strength and cardio.  My heart rate is definitly showing it.  Just a few minutes ago it was 52 bpm, not to shabby for being half way through the day…I really need to check my true resting one of these mornings….all well I’ll get to it eventually.  Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!

It felt so good finally getting to lift again….it was such a relief.  yesterday was a great back and bi’s day and today was an awesome chest and tris and of course abs both days.  I’m having problems getting rid of that love handle area, it’s not that bad but it can’t be there if I"m gonna do any fitness modeling competitions.  any suggestions please let me know!!   I also need some advice on fitness modeling competitions, like what all is involved, how much do they normally cost and where can you find them?  please feel free to fill me in on any other helpful info…thanks!!

I never thought that nutrition would play as large of a role on your success as what it really does.  I have been eating much better and paying closer attention to my caloric intake.  Starting at Lifestyles has really made me want to get more cut and learn more about nutrition.  I learned something interesting that diet is 60-70% of your success rate when exercising and trying to lose weight.  It’s very true though because even though I have not been exercising as much I have lost weight over the holidays…crazy I know…but it’s been mainly fat so I’m happy..  Good luck in the New Year everyone!!
