Wow, crazy news going on! Hard to think what can come of all this!? I hope things get under control! So it’s now just over 9 weeks out for me, and I did catch some sort of cold but not the swine flu thank God!! But ya, never seems to fail as soon as I’m training the ole immune system decides to let some viruses get by and cause problems! Been coughing for about 4 days now…..seems to not be getting any worse now that I’m on the 4th day….so hopefully it will be getting better soon! Other than that REALLY happy my legs are coming in great and I still have so much time!!! Looks like I may end up with some good muscle gains since my last comp also when the day finally arrives…maybe a 4 pound muscle gain….not too shabby for all natural sweat, and hard work!!

So, my trainer authorized a cheat day for me! had it on sunday! I took notice if my weight changed and energy levels in the gym…. and according to him, my body reacted nicely! So now I am going to have a regular cheat day as my body is ready for it now! I had 2 croissants with homemade strawberry jam, cheese stick, potato chips, hot fudge sundae, slice of pizza…..all though I still had my healthy meals in between! lol Strength is still going up with every workout! The changes in my body are really noticeable now! I’m happy I took the year off!!

Training has been going awesome! Started dieting and training for my competition 18 weeks out. I will be competing at the World Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation this July 4th in Calgary Alberta!! So stoked to be back on stage after over a year off!!! There has been some big changes though with all that time off! Been able to pack on the muscle since I basically lived in the gym after some personal issues. I’ll basically be able to coast right into the competition and am as confidant as ever!! My boyfriend has been a huge help on keeping me motivated and sharing the same goals, and I love him for it!!
