Hey ladies,
I have been kicking around the boards for a couple of months and really enjoy reading what other girls are doing as far as training and nutritional prep for upcoming shows so I decided I would go ahead and start a thread as I get closer to my show in October.
I have been competing for a few years and have done very well. I have done a few National shows and did pretty well but I feel I just get lost in the mix. I also got sick of hearing that if I wanted to place better I was going to need to "play the game." You know let people know who you are and kiss ass rub elbows with the powers that be etc.. Well, that's not me so last year after placing 12th at the USA's I took some time to think about why I was competing and decided to retire. I had no desire to turn pro based on the physiques that were winning at the time. Honestly I thought about it and came to the conclusion that I loved the physique that I had built and I didn't want to alter it just to POSSIBLY win a national level show. So on that note I was done and decided to put all of my focus on Dusty and helping him make the changes that would be needed for him to get to a higher level and hopefully get a more lucrative contract than the one he has now.
Well after being "retired" for a little over a year I started to get the itch to get onstage again. After talking with D we decided I should go ahead and compete again. The only difference is that this time my goal is to bring the type of physique that I like and have fun. So here we are just a little over five weeks out from my next show and it's almost time to start my diet. I can't wait. I love the challenge of the diet, training, trackwork, and cardio knowing that it all will come together to form a puzzle that you first put to paper and are going to complete through your physique.
So in this thread I will post everything from my training, cardio, trackwork, supplements and of course my diet. Some of it may seem strange to the others that compete here because like I have said before I usually stay smaller and even a bit leaner in the offseason than I look onstage. That is why at five weeks out I am following a diet that is actually putting weight back on me before trimming it down and jumping on stage.
I look forward to hearing any questions and or opinions that you have to offer as I get ready. This board is full of knowlege and I would love to learn from each of you and experiences you have had.
