WELCOME TO MY BLOG!


THE JOURNEY OF 1,000 MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP: This blog has tracked my journey shooting my first Oxygen Magazine cover and follows my prep for my first fitness competition! My goal is to eventually earn my IFBB PRO BIKINI card and to make a career of fitness modeling. I am in school for Dietetics and would like to write a nutrition column for bodybuilding.com or Oxygen online. *DISCLAIMER to the easily offended: So yes, I'm in my skivvies, which is why I'm not posting this directly on FB. I figure, "Hey- Soon you're going to be on a stage in less than a bathing suit & heels in front of your family, friends AND a room full of strangers- STARING at you. You probably need to get comfortable with people seeing your body." If you follow my FB,you know I try to pass on any inspiration I find- this blog is just an extended concept of that so stay tuned for recipes, cardio playlists and fitness secrets I learn along the way. Welcome to my blog, please let me know if you have any questions & thank you for following my progress! HAPPY TRAINING!

.:26 WEEKS OUT:.

Training, carb cycling & supplementation are in full force! Survived bootcamp w/ Mont today- plyometrics, kettlebell work, walking lunges, core strengthening & box jumps (love/hate). Seeing great gains in the last few weeks! Strong progress in my delts & quads specifically, I carry my body fat in my stomach/hips/lats but I'm leaning out. SO encouraging to see my body change- walked by a mirror @ the gym yesterday & did a double take b/c I didn't recognize the reflection for a split second. THAT.felt.incredible. Began working @ American Health & Fitness in downtown Miamisburg. Great facility & many competitors train there so I've gotten to pick some pretty knowledgeable brains! On fire to train again! My strength/appetite are back (from being sick)and I want to live,beathe,eat,sleep competition again. Posing class w/ Mont again this coming Sun & my heels came in so I'm REALLY excited! I stopped posting as many food pics b/c I eat the same thing- every meal, every day in 3 day splits. There's only so much you can do w/ oatmeal :o) I'm due for a caliper body fat assessment this week so I'm thrilled to see my progress! Will post stats & new pics!

My new playlist is slightly bad ass (I MAY be a little biased):

*"Beautiful Dangerous" Fergie feat. Slash
"You Be Killin' Em" Fabolous
*"Do It Like a Dude" Jessie J
"Set Fire To The Rain" Adele
"John" Lil Wayne & Rick Ross
"Hustle Hard" Remix Lil' Wayne & Rick Ross
"I'm The Best" Nicki Minaj
"I Don't Wanna Care Right Now" Lupe Fiasco
"Diary Of Jane" Breaking Benjamin
*"Bad Girlfriend" Theory Of A Deadman
"Black Betty" Ram Jam

Enjoy! Hope y'all have a GREAT week & happy training! <3
