Wow, I can’t believe the competition is coming so fast! It seems like it has totally taken over my life- seems like I don’t have time for anything anymore! I am enjoying the process, but dang! Still skeptical I can achieve the desired physique in such a short amount of time, but my coach reassures me I’m fine, so I persist.
Notables of today: did my workout, kicked my own butt, WOO! …I did NOT go to jiu jitsu, which is ...
Continue Reading →I could be distraught that I messed up on my diet, finally, and I can tell on the scale and in the way I look. I could be distraught that the knee that I had two surgeries on has been giving me problems that I’ve been trying to temper through daily icing, fish oil, glucosamine, etc…I could be distraught by a lot of things. But since I have the power to control my thoughts, I have the power to determine ...
Continue Reading →Hello peeps! The latest update is…I’m still on track! Just staying consistent with nutrition, cardio, resistance training, supplements, etc. I have NEVER eaten this cleanly in ALL MY LIFE! It’s pretty amazing. In one month I have not touched a piece of bread, candy, treat- NOTHING! And, I have adapted well so actually I am not really hungry, feel healthy, and could sustain this for a long time. I have also stayed consistent with the exercise and have not missed ...
Continue Reading →Hey peeps! I want to let you know at least weekly how my figure prep is going. So it’s time! This past week I didn’t lose any weight, which was somewhat concerning to me, as I only have (as of today) 9 weeks and 2 days left until my show! I have stayed consistently clean in my diet and following my trainer’s workout n supplement specifications…but my body seemed pretty much the same. Yesterday I checked in with her though, ...

Started to work on posing. I put on my heels, and Akane showed me the “mandatory” poses and the “model” pose. The lat spread is definitely the hardest part- gonna have to work on it! (among everything else)
Today:
Cardio done- CHECK! Did it with a friend so actually time FLEW by- YES!
Legs done- CHECK! I don’t think I hit it “hard” (sad face) but I did hit it “all” (happy face). This week of weight training hasn’t been as bad as ...
Continue Reading →So! Week one of contest prep for my first figure competition is completed- diet and exercise. I got my heels in the mail but have only managed to put them on once- they are sitting in my living room, in hopes of being put on and me practicing walking in them, but so far that’s not been the case.
I have gone ...
Continue Reading →Sooo, I am ecstatic to announce that I will be competing at the August 6th INBA Natural Bodybuilding Championships in Windsor, CA. My first figure competition! There will be bodybuilding, figure, fitness, bikini, etc. I will be entering the 1-piece and 2-piece figure division. I just decided on Monday. Which gives me about 12 weeks prep. The past week or so I have just been doing my own diet and exercise, just doin what I do. To help me take ...

My amazingly hot friend Sasha and I are going to have a photoshoot at the end of May. This gives us about 10 weeks to prepare. It will be a fitness photoshoot. EXCITING!! This will be part of Sasha’s return to the USA’s in Las Vegas at the end of July. This will be a fun opportunity for me to use ...
Continue Reading →I. love. this. Great motivation! For me…and to spread to my clients! When they are quibbling about not seeing results after one workout and one clean meal…or people asking me about how effective L-Carnitine is or anything else…yet their diet is not 100%…I want to say “what’s the point??”…no supplement can counteract an inconsistent diet…Anyway, “ChickenTuna” has been a contributing member of BodySpace (associated with BodyBuilding.com) for many years now and her abs are more than memorable. Yes, I know ...

I guess I’ll just start by sharing a bit about my trip to the world famous OLYMPIA! I was very excited! I did NOT successfully get to gush effusively to Tanji Johnson (my favorite fitness competitor) but I did see plenty of eye candy (though none that seriously caught my eye, maybe I’m blind), and I was so excited to see all the famous fitness models! My favorite sightings were ...
