I normally woork out mon-thur. and saturday but I have been sick all week and I finally decided that I would take today off and go tommorrow instead.  I have had a pretty bad cold but still made it to the gym everyday.  I must say I fell in love with Monster energy drinks, I don’t use energy drinks but being sick I new my workout would suck so I drank one and had an awesome workout.  I was able to lift heavy and I felt much better, even with the sore throat.

 Today I am just going to relax and try to get better.  I am not really hungry, but I am craving junk food, I always do when I am sick.  It is a good thing I keep the food in my house pretty clean (lol).  Time to rest, God bless:)

As a competitior I am constantly thinking about how to improve my physique, unfortunately lately I have not been eating like I should.  Since my competition a few weeks ago I have gone back and forth  on eating clean.  Now we have halloween candy, of course I have found myself eating some, or alot, but now it is gone and I am ready to get back to eating clean.  On the plus side my muscles have filled back out and I am lifting heavy again, I love going heavy.

Today is leg day and I have a bodybuilder helping me build my legs so today will be bruital, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.  God bless:)

Now that I have finished my competition I have been working on my goals for next spring.  I have a few competitions planned for next spring.  Now I am working on perfecting my physique.  I need to work on my legs, they are a little small.   I am also working on adding size all over.  Unfortunately I lost six pounds of muscle preparing for this comp.  I am so excited to get working.  I did legs yesterday, now they hurt bad, but that is what I wanted. 

I was going to do another competition this week, it was a national qualifier and it sounded like it would be the same girls there so my chances were good.  I didn’t end up doing the comp because I got the flu last week, it was horrible.  That’s alright, now I can work on adding size.  I plan on going out there and kicking butt in the spring so be ready.

 God bless:)

Okay, I can’t believe it is finally here.  I have been working so hard.  We decided not even a week ago that I would do figure instead of bodybuilding.  I am happy I did, the posing seems mmore natural for me.  I am far leaner then any of the other girls that were there, but we will see how I did tonight.  It’s so exciting to be out there, many of them got nervous but for me it is a blast.  Anyways, not alot of time but I will post how I do after the evening show.  God bless:)

I finally got my computer back, yeah.  Last Friday we got the call that my grandpa wouldn’t make it more then a couple of hours.  Of course I hurried to go see him.  The site was heart wrenching, he didn’t even look like my grandpa.  He was gasping for air and his body was turning purple and swelling.  He wispered I am just so tired, now he doesn’t have to be.  My husband said a beautiful prayer over him and we think he said thank you for praying for me and that was the last thing he said.  God never promises us another day so live everyday as it is you last.  Exactly one week and one day before my first competition and tragedy strikes.  At least I don’t have time to get nervous.

There are some changes to my plans, instead of bodybuilding I am going to do figure.  I am really excited, my suits look awesome and I am really happy with the progress in my stomach, yeah.  It’s hard to tell I had three kids.  Only three more days!

God bless:) 

Okay so I have timed everything pretty badly.  I have my first competition in 4 weeks and about a month into prep we found out my grandpa has stomach cancer and my grandma has been to the hospital 2 times for heart attacks.  If I can finish strong through all of this next time should be pretty easy.

 On a brighter note, my dog is having puppies today, she is in labor now.  I am so excited, I have been waiting for these puppies, I want a beautiful girl.  I am sleep deprived, she has been in labor since 3am.  At least the puppies will help the time to go faster to competition time.  Have a great day.  God bless:)

I am now about four and a half weeks out from my first show.  Last Friday I picked up fabric for my suit and got fitted, I am so excited.  I think it will look really good.  I can’t wait to see what I look like in it.

Anyways I have puppies coming this week, boxers, great timing.  At least they will make the time go even faster.  I went to the fair this weekend, I didn’t cheat even a little but those roasted almonds smelled so good.  The next test is in two weeks when the fire department my husband is on has a camp out.  I told him I am leaving at smore time(LOL).  Oh well, only four and a half weeks till my first show and one more two weeks later.  Time to go eat. 

Have a great day and God bless:)

Tonight has been a hard evening.  I had to make cookies for the family, there is nothing like the smell of fresh cookies.  I sat and watched them eat cookies while I ate, well of course it was chicken.  It wasn’t to bad to resist till dinner, I felt super hungry, and then they eat a great meal.  That’s okay, I had you guessed it chicken.  That’s okay, I look at my abs and I remember why I am doing this.

Sometimes I think that it would be nice to stop preparing to compete, but that isn’t going to happen.  Those moments pass quickly and don’t last long, usually only a couple minutes.  I am really excited to get out there and see what I can do.

Anyways, we have been doing a garage sale all weekend, time to clean out the house.  I don’t know if we will do this again.  My poor husband has had to do most of it on his own because I still have to work out.  I plan to get some progress pictures up soon, hopefully tonight.

Have a great day and God bless:)

I am getting very excited about my first competition coming up.  At the gym people keep telling me I am looking good, wow that feels good to hear, it is worth the diet.  Anyways I changed my diet a little about 3 weeks ago and it seems to be doing a good job.  I love my carb up meal, I get it two times a week, but the rest kind of sucks.

  Next week we are getting the fabric for my suit and we will get it fitted and made, it is becoming more real.  We will probably go with a dark blue.  I have upped my cardio to 25 min. twice a day and at least half on the bike.  I can’t wait to see the finished product.  Have a great day and God bless:)

I am finally back, we had to get a new computer because ours had a virus. 

I have noticed that peoples attitudes toward me have changed, mostly from people in our church.  I get the feeling they are judging me because I am doing bodybuilding.  We had a guy in our church that was a bodybuilder and did steriods and let it take over his life.  Of course everone now thinks that it is an ungodly sport, which it could be if you let it take over your life.  It is just so frustrating that they’re judging what they don’t understand.  I want to motivate myself and others to be strong and healthy.  I feel the closest to God when I have to trust him to push me through my work outs and to eat clean, that’s hard:)  We have been big members in our church, we have been helping to rebuild it and everything, now I think it is time to move on.

Anyways today was a good workout, bi’s, shoulders, and back.  No cardio today, yeah:)  I am geting much leaner, but I am trying to hold on to the muscle, we will see.  Only 7 weeks to my first competition! 

Have a great weekend and God bless:)
