Well training and diet plus let us not forget cardio started this week,,, hoooo ray ,,,, LOL ,, I absolutly love LA Fitness ,,, the gym has great equipment, great atmosphere not to mention that they are very flexible with me working as a Personal Trainer there.  I am excited to get under way for Pittsburgh (hey maybe I will meet Ben Rothleisburger - yummy), yes I am a Steelers fan, Hubby hates it as he is a Browns fan ,,, oh well there are winners and losers,,   We updated my website at www.nicolejoiner.com

I will be doing a photo shoot at LA Fitness some time in June so will keep all up to date ,,, I am at about 155 # right now and we are 18 weeks out so for this contest we are really monitoring every thing.  This is a pro qualifier and I am not kidding my self about what the competition will be.  I am busting my ass and training with more weight than I ever have ,,, Doing a lot of basic lifts coupled with machines ,,, we owned a very small gym and had no where near the equipment LA Fitness has ,,, doing 4 days a week right now of 1 hour cardio plus I do 20 minutes before I work out which is a 5 day routine,,,

 Trust me I am feeling it ,,, well that is it for now ,,, just getting adjusted to life here near Houston ,,,I really do like it here ,, Take care and train hard

Well after quite a few discussions with my husband and friends I have decided to stay with figure.  I am going to begin contest prep Monday the 9th of March for the Masters held in Pittsburgh, July 17 -18th.  I let myself bulk up a bit in my down time as I wanted to add at least 4 - 6 pounds of new muscle for this contest.  We are going to train heavy all the way up to the final days before the contest.  The great thing about last year is we kept really good notes which will allow us to really hit the mark for this show.

I am also planning to do the Team Universe in September in NY, NY.  There are quite a few changes going on in our lives all for the better which I will share at a later time.  I wanted to once again than all of you that continue to send me kind words of encouragement and to those of you that say I have inspired you, it is you that inspires me.  So often when I am out and about women constantly will say "what do I have to do to look like you?" It never ceases to amaze me that when I tell them what you have to do they say well I can’t do that, then why did you ask? 

That is what is different here, the women here truly want to change themselves and when they ask how to do it and you tell them they follow it.  The clients that I am training are the same way, and it motivates me when they come in and tell me, "You will not believe the clothes that I am fitting into", or when they tell me "My husband can not believe the changes in me." To hear women tell me that just motivates me to work harder and continue to pursue my dream of one day being on the Olympia Stage!

 I will try to post a blog once a week about my progress and some of my routines.  Until next time train hard, eat smart and stay focus.
