UGH I MISSED THE DEADLINE

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

OMG, I am sitting here at my computer on Sept. 11, 2009 at 11:07 PM and I went to the Flex Model Search website and realized I just missed the deadline… I could have sworn the deadline was tomorrow… and to top it all off….. it’s a mail in type registration… not online registration

THis is what happens when doctors tell you to take Ritalin… and you resist !

Hair color dilemma: Asian Black or Latina brunette?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Wow, it’s now 2009 and I am still not over this issue. After 4 years of competing in fit bikini, fitness model & Miss Hawaiian Tropic contests… I’m still torn if wearing my hair its natural color of black is to my disadvantage. I’ve had this issue since my days in Iowa when I noticed that people ignored, avoided and even sneered at me when I went natural (even did experiments where I’d visit a store before my salon appointment then after, only to prove over and over again… bastards don’t like my hair black)

When I competed in Hawaiian Tropic, every time I wore it black, I didn’t place. Didn’t matter what shape my body is in. Always felt prettier with darker hair but seems the judges didn’t think so.

So now, I am contemplating going back to a medium chocolate brown hair color I sported this past year, just in time for the Flex Bikini contest. I know this subject shouldn’t matter, but to me… it does.  I mean, blonde is always the preferred hair color in these TnA type contests and it’s apparent that blondes do tend to have an edge.. and I did the best when I myself was blonde.  But I don’t want to spend $100 every 2 weeks for root maintenance.

So do I go chocolate brown or stick with my natural Filipino black ?
Dilemmas dilemmas !

2 weeks out

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Oh, I’m such a procrastinator. So I’ve been dieting and doing my workouts… maybe not quite the 2 a days, 5 days a week like I always planned, but purdy close. And here I am 2 weeks out from the FLEX Bikini Model Search at the Olympia Expo… and I’m stuck at that 134 lb mark… but on a good note, I have increased definition. Maybe it’s just water weight.  I’ve been soooo bad at keeping a log of everything (welcome to my world….I’d be that one who ends up dead if the doc says my life depended upon keeping that log up to date)

So maybe, it’s time to make the last 2 weeks extreme and follow the diet plan that helped me win my FAME Pro card a few years ago. THe one I won after 5 weeks of this diet and no cardio cos my left ankle was in a cast after a bad break & tear.  Mostly chicken breast and greens, some carb in the morning and I upped my fat intake a tad to counteract the blood sugar drop

Or should I just not bother? UGH, I am so not looking forward to all this

World Physique Contest

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

I stopped doing these contests last year when I got alot of hate mail from men after posting my vote solicits on the forums…. especially from Getbig.com and quite a few from this site.  Anyways, the site is Worldphysique.com.  I am contestant #8 (2nd from last).  These other 7 ladies are awesome, but I hope you find it in your heart to cast your one vote opportunity on me.

Be well

Fruits in a cutting diet for this hypoglycemic

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

After my first phase of my diet where I replaced 75% of my carbs with fruit (namely berries, oranges, apples, grapefruits, cherries, grapes & mandarins), I was successful in dropping 6 lbs after 8 weeks of dieting.  Which is pretty much the same rate as I lost on a traditional bodybuilders’ fat loss diet. Despite all the bad rap that fruits get because of it’s fructose content (fructose, by the way, scores in the lower 30s of the GI list, placing below pretty much all the traditional slow-release carbs in bodybuilders’ diets).  I refuse to believe fructose is that ‘bad’ sugar. I mean, if you are limiting yourself to a certain amount, why not. It’s not like i am eating 10 lbs of apples. A

I am aware that high fructose corn syrup is like 50/50 sucrose (table sugar) and fructose; I hope it’s name isn’t part of this prejudice.

I have just entered my 2nd phase and hoping to drop down another 5 lbs over the next 6-8 weeks.
Let’s see how it all goes.

Please watch my weekly progress pictures. I shoot for 1 lbs of fat loss a week

What’s YOUR excuse for not getting in shape?

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Do you not have enough time in your day?  Are gym memberships just too pricey?  Do you feel intimidated by the gym or its members?  Any medical issues?  Are you just not sure where to start?

Write me… I ‘m sure I can help.  I’ll take any excuse and get you some hope!  Trust me… I’ve heard it all!

All I can say is this, if God (or your god) came down to you and told you that your death is in a matter of weeks and that an eternity in hell is eminent unless you get into shape….. could and would you get  movin?

(to atheist… maybe i’m not the right person to come to for advice or kinship… I’m spiritual and derive much of my empowerment from my faith in the Lord & God)
