hello, little baby muscles! come out & play!
REALLY encouraging gains this week! 1st posing class Sun went better than I expected-long road ahead but I have a strong walk & 36" legs so I'm excited to see what develops.
Down to the nitty gritty dirty business, let's talk numbers! At my heaviest, I was 217 (roughly 41% body fat). When I began training, I weighed 194 (26%) I actually wouldn't let Mont take a caliper assessment for a month b/c I was so disgusted w/ my body so it was probably a little higher! As of this week I am 165 (21%) and will compete @ 10-12% weighing around 150. Lots of work to do!
Measurements:
-52 lbs. of fat
-3" in chest (bye boobs, I will miss you girls!)
-3" in arms
-2" in hips
-6" in waist (aww sheee-uht!)
-3" in thighs
I have committed to a 2nd comp. Either the Northern Kentucky or the Arnold next year, since they are so close I may try both.
My body has begun changing drastically and I cannot wait to see what level this could go. God-willing, a pro card is in my future. The more I train, the greater peace I feel about this being the right path for my life. Who knew God could bless someone running around in a bikini & stripper heels? He works in mysterious ways. I am overwhelmed by how He has provided such encouraging friends/family, incredible networking contacts & resources. This may sound lame, but I cried last night on the way home from lifting legs b/c I'm just so thankful for the opportunity to change and encouraged by the progress I'm seeing. I cannot remember the last time I was this genuinely happy. Thank you for following my blog & the constant encouragement! It means so much more than you know!
Happy Training <3
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!


That's cool. Happy for you
