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!

6 MONTHS OUT! progress photos!

Great HEAVY lifts this week- watched "PUMPING IRON" for inspiration :o) focusing on ARNOLD'S philosophy that the last 3/4 reps are what makes the muscle grow so I lift 'til I don't think I can get another rep- then I dig deeper and bust out 4 more. Lots of super-setting, drop sets, muscle failure, concentration curls- really squeezing the muscle I'm working. PR'd squats @ 155 and tripled my weight on leg extensions. Got a little discouraged this week, then Mont sent me the pics from the first week we trained (Jan 21) WOW. LOTS of changes, it's been so gradual I just haven't noticed them. So here they are...
mmm belly fat- yum!


the back fat was creepin' around to the front.

YIKES!
Plugging away @ carb cycling. Not too bad now that I'm used to it (but today is a high carb day, ask me again in 2 days haha) Thank you again for the continued support and following- I do appreciate it! Happy training <3
