Developing Plan for Post Competition

I have been doing a lot of thinking about post competition and reading different things about it. It’s a really big deal. Competitors change their whole life focus for contest prep and take on this new form of dieting and training and LIVING, for this short moment onstage, then once it’s over and it’s traumatic and anti-climactic because it’s like…now what? It’s all over and life is back to “normal”…and what does “normal” mean anymore? How am I supposed to ...

Update & Invitation to My First Figure Competition!!!

Hello my loves! I am having a brief moment of energy and positivity so figured I’d take advantage of that to shoot out a blog post. Wow, there is SO MUCH I have neglected to keep you posted on! Bad blogger, BAD!

Thoughts run through my head of what I SHOULD have been sharing with you…my new-found love (and I mean obsessive delicious miraculous healthy mouthgasm) of macademia nut oil…any of my various weight training routines…any small regime changes I may ...

Healthy Faux Fried Chicken & Asparagus/Miracle Rice Cabbage Rolls

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 ...

On Track

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 ...

Figure Prep Update, Healthy Orange Chicken, Cauliflower Rice, & Gratitude

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, ...

Figure, "Stretch Exercise Eat" shirt, The Daily Love

Yesterday:

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 ...

Sky High Workout

Today I ate some of the food that Sasha and I prepared last week. It’s almost done. We had made a week’s worth of chicken, kale, rice, egg whites and oatmeal, etc etc etc. (Sorry for the blurry iphone pic)

It was neat to revisit that style of eating and next batch I will personalize it a bit more with ...

Trying New Things: AERIAL CONDITIONING

I am going through a period of wanting to try new things. I love cross training, so today I decided to try aerial conditioning. We started out with a warm up, then we went over a few skills on the trapeze, then we went over a few skills on the tissue. Or it is called Spanish web? Or same thing? In any case, it was pretty fun and came pretty quickly for me, I think because of my gymnastics background. ...
