HOLY FUCK IT’S BEEN OVER 4 MONTHS SINCE I’VE UPDATED MY BLOG
I’m sorry, I am a baddd person

If you only train and manage your nutrition properly when you feel like it you can rest assured that you’re never going to get anywhere because the times when you feel like it are largely going to be outweighed by the number of times when there are ...

It will be a 10 week prep, from right after my powerlifting competition, til the Tahoe show.
To keep me focused and accountable, I have been writing down every morning my goals for the day, my commitments, and any motivational phrases that resonate with me. It has been changing every day. But here is what ...

I have been going through a majorly transformative process these past few months and one of the insights I had was that I was draining myself with all the commuting. I decided to make it easier ...
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 ...

First off, my elbow is actually feeling better today than it did yesterday! And my toe seemed pretty much, if not all the way healed. I have still been taping it, but I have been doing kicks, taking classes, and having to jog in classes no problem. YES!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
I woke up and decided to take a fasted “exploratory” walk. I didn’t get too see much, though, because there is ...
