Good morning gorgeous, figure athletes & iron statues:

These past few weeks post first show have been a roller coaster of highs and lows. Nevertheless, God is still speaking to me. I’ve had the wonderful pleasure of meeting some phenomenal, extraordinary individuals. Met someone who is taking my fitness capabilities to the next level, and most importantly, developing my mind. I am relentless, keeping a laser sharp focus on what I MUST have. But damn sometimes, the logical side of my brain works against me. I must remember that I need to feed my imagination, let it run wild and amuse this machine inside my head with dreams bigger than they have ever entertained! I believe God wants me to do some extraordinary things while I’m here, but I keep trying to get in His way by pushing my stubborn ways in the path. So, today it BEGINS. I am going to be more positive and write down every idea that forms in my head. I shut down my own dreams so quick, they don’t even get a chance to entertain me long enough to smile. I’ve proven that I can build up an excellent body , ballsy enough to get up on stage in a teeny tiny two piece under bright stage lights. Now, I have to train this mind of mine to conceive, believe and achieve. Whew! That’s a tough one but I am addicted to challenges. So here I go again! I hope everyone is blessed and all smiles, keep chiseling gorgeous people! xoxoJenCan

Hey all my beautiful,sculpted figure athletes! I hope everyone is blessed and all smiles. I’m updating the muscleaneous diaries again b/c I’m itching in my chair. I feel so lost now that the show is over. It was such a euphoric experience to be on stage, I never experienced anything like that. I want to be up there again but I know I must take these next 18 weeks to grow, build, eat right and rest. I am at work , my full time job right now and I’m brainstorming. Trying to think of the various other projects I could be doing to make a living , literally, feeling like LIVING. I know I’m meant to help others achieve their goals.I am not content anymore doing the "normal" 9-5 and playing the rat race. There is more out there for me, and God has been sending me signals. I’ve been through emotional cycles , but he’s always talking to me. I found a necklace with a pendant that has the Hail Mary in spanish, a prayer I’d recite every nite as a little girl. Two weeks later, I found a sterling silver ring that read "BELIEVE" on it. AMAZING! Is God giving me signals or what?! I’m putting in my part too, I’m talking to web developers, my friend who is thinking of some ideas with me. And I’m researching to see what appeals to me so I can venture off into the fitness world. Honestly, I worked very hard the first 21 years of my life, I was the nerd and I was so studious. For what? To be confined in a cubicle? There’s more to life than this… I know there is. I’ve given life so much, where is the reciprocity? I want to help people, especially my fellow Latino community. I need to show them that you don’t have to be rich/celebrity/etc. to have a great body and lead a healthy lifestyle. It’s all at our fingertips!  They just need a little push, a little education, and I’m here for them. I will give that to them. I will be the great equalizer! I’m getting chills down my spine to think of what I will do within the next year. I have been very selfish so far( figure competing is a very selfish industry)  and now it’s time to give some JenCan to the world! Stay tuned my fellow sisters/brothers in iron! For now, train hard, eat well and stay blessed.

xoxo

I finally got a chance to post and talk about my first competition experience! By far, hands down, the best and happiest day of my life. I was so "high you couldn’t touch me with a ****en antenna!" As I waited backstage for presentor to call my name, DJ played "miss independant" by Ne-Yo. How appropriate?

Miami’s Figure Universe was everything I expected but much, much more. The ladies were so supportive with one another. It was impressive b/c I’ve been to other shows(NPC for example) and the figure athlete I went to support had troubles in the ladies room. I was not looking forward to that. But at my show, all the ladies were helping each other , smiling, and cracking peanut butter jokes all day! One girl suggested a peanut butter cheese pizza. I don’t like pizza but I’ll take it with peanut butter on it! Also, some other girl who was only 5 feet tall just came from behind and started fixing my suit. I had problems with it all day moving around and she just pulled me and fixed it! Lol, it was so nice of her considering we were all running around like chickens w/ no head. She was 5 feet tall but she was RIPPED and super pumped. Another great perk was I got to meet Ava Cowan in person! I was delirious! She was so chill and friendly. The woman is gorgeous, in and out! I took pics w/ her but I lost the camera but I know I will meet her again

I didn’t place in this show but I’m very confident that my next appearance will be a success. I have the tiger’s eye and my laser sharp ambition will get me where I need to be. The intention was for this show , to bring a very lean JenCan package. I did that just fine b/c I only have a very small amount of "baby" muscle to begin with. I’d say I executed that very well

The plan for the next few weeks is to eat and lift heavy. I need to push myself to new extremes. I’ve gotten a lot of "not so good" feedback from people about what I can accomplish in this short amount of time (18 weeks). But I am determined to find out , on my own, how much I can build. I dare them to stop me! I wish they would So for the next 18 weeks (until Nov), JenCan will build, lift heavy, eat and mentally focus on Musclemania Latino and the natural show in Dekalb, Il. I thank God everyday that he has me in a good position to train even if it’s not for a living. God is GREAT and he will hear my prayers. Stay blessed all you gorgeous , fit figure athletes! XoxoJenCan
