 Hello everyone,

Sorry I have been away so long! I am back and I am NOT MESSING AROUND anymore!!!!! I am competeing in June! 2 shows coming up! YEAH!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!! I will come in tighter and leaner! NO DOUBT!

This winter as most of you know, I was having major problems with my digestive system. This is when I turned to Greenwich Sports Medicine. Dr. Mah explained my body doesn’t digest fats (not that I eat a lot), and also he found out that I am severely allergic to dairy, eggs, Salmon, tuna, garlic and broccoli! GO FIGURE! Those foods are staples in any bodybuilder or figure competitors’ diet! MAN! I though the world was coming to an end….SO all winter I was playing with new foods and finding out what worked for me. It took me months to finally get myself back on track and feel better. Just to give you an idea of the diet I have been doing for the last 2 weeks….

Meal 1- 1 scoop protein
1 teaspoon glutamine

Meal 2- ½ cup oats
6 oz bison burger

Meal 3- ½ grapefruit
15 raw almonds
Meal 4- 6-8 oz protein mostly chicken or turkey
½ yam or ½ cup brown rice

Meal 5- 1 scoop protein
1 teaspoon glutamine

Meal 6-8 oz fish
3 cups salad

I also eat tons of asparagus and yellow and orange peppers. I find they do not get my bloated for give me pains in my belly. Since at this point I am doing NO CARDIO, I have to keep my diet as strict as possible. I am trying to put on as much muscle as I can before I start stripping down.<script></script>

I am so motivated to look better than my first show! I know I have the heart to do it. I know a lot of you saw the sacrifices from my first show….Well, this time, especially since I know my troubled digestive system will hold me down, I HAVE to be completely strict with NO cheat days….

I am 125lbs now; my goal is to get on stage at 110, and 12% bodyfat! I know I can do it! I have so many positive people who really want to see me succeed. My family and friends are my motivation through it all…..

As I always say, when you have a dream and a goal, and you want it bad enough, NOTHING and NO ONE will stop you from getting to the top! My goal is to compete 2 times a year until I am 40. Get enough experience, so I can be a role model for women with the same dreams!

Have a great day
Love, Tina.
