UPDATE!
Wow, it has certainly been a while since I made a post. A lot has happened in life and with training.
First of all, I didn’t end up competing…YET. I hurt my back several times with training and had to let them heal. I have leaned out and am still consistently leaning out, keeping with my competition diet until I get there. Once I get close I will see about which shows are coming up when and if I have to travel, I’ll book it! I AM going to compete, but I am going to let my body get there with consistency and patience. No more drastic measures to pull a miracle out of my butt. I have now been carb depleting for 4 months and surprisingly, I am pretty used to it. I keep hearing from all angles that I will start losing muscle but guess what? I have developed my upper body even more since I have been carb and calorie restricting. When it comes down to it, only YOU know your body and how it will respond to different training/nutrition tactics.
I have a photoshoot on September 13 with pro photographer Mike Byerly. Check out his pics! www.mikebyerlyphoto.com
He is amazing! He has worked with Jamie Eason and other fitness models. My site is up and running and I definitely want some good shots for my site, even if my body is not completely competition ready just yet.
I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 4 years, so I am still currently dealing with the trauma of that…it has been a very stressful and depressing four years but I am ready to move on and be happy. BUT, will NOT let that get in the way of my goals…I never have

As soon as I get the shots from the photoshoot I will post them up. I know it has been A LONG time since I posted a progress pic. Hopefully these shots will make the wait worth it!
