In my own world
So, there I was in the thick of it - Girlfriends Amyrose and LoveJones with me in support (and lil’ lovejones) - btw, thank you both for being there with me….. i can’t imagine having done this and not having two loving friends there for me….you have made these last months all about me and I am sure that has been BORING….I am back though…here for you both…. done with the me stuff and on to the youstuff!!! I love you both ——
okay, back to my story….there are women and men all around in the pump up/oil area and I am focused on every other female person, but my self…and I noticed not one man….which, I was later told was a mistake because there were some men that had trained amazingly and it showed…. I was just amazed at how these women had developed their bodies…. some were very kind…. met an amazing woman from Erie….Patti C. and she was such an inspiration in everyway. And another woman from Blasdell…. she was also kind and approachable…. Many women gave me this vibe….that vibe you get when you know you should run….run far away…… I listened to my inner self and kept my distance.
I also found that getting ready in the quiet of the dressing rooms was better for me….away from the craziness…. next show I will definately hit the dressing rooms early and stay put till it is time to go on stage…. (or find some quiet corner to be alone)
I was shocked at how many people were eating crap that day too…. potato chips were flying….gummy worms…. candy bars….tons of candy….. ??????
And then there was my own victory binge…. after the prejudging round the girls and I went to get a salad and to the mall and I started to get soooo sick….hot flashes, sweats, dizzy….called my old trainer and in true form, Trevor saved the day. He suggested juice and some carbs w/ protein….. the juice did the trick! After the show…. it was steak, mashed potatoes, white bread with butter, & ice cream…. today has been two pieces of chocolate birthday cake, more steak, chocolate and cheeze-its…. fyi, not so sure what I ever saw in cheeze-its… and I am so sick right now, I can’t wait to detoxify and eat oats and egg whites….
So, today is day one of my clean bulk….gonna hit the weights hard in a few hours and eat clean!!! Hope all of you have a great day! and a better workout!!

please relax on your diet and let your body rest for a couple of days! i know you’re motivated….but let your body take an itty bitty break!

I agree! Your picture look great and you should be so proud of yourself! But now is the time to rest at least a little! If you star too soon you run the risk of overtraining risking injuries, loss of motivation and other nasty stuff. I don’t believe you should touch weights for at least a week post show, do light cardio or some yoga and pilates if you absolutely need to get to the gym. I have started training too soon in the past, and I really learned a valuable lesson. I ended up fighting my body every step of the way to my next competition through illness, injuries and no motivation.
Just give your body a little break, it has done a lot for you!
Congratulations again!
