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!

.:4 WEEKS FROM SHOOT, 18 WEEKS FROM COMP:.




Crazy week. Hit a speed bump when I saw FANTASTIC progress week 1 comp diet so I started to lax on my portions, food journaling, and discipline (I now hide PB/strawberries from myself). Mont texted me Tue. & asked if I had visible abs yet. THAT knocked some sense into me- I thought "WHOA.WHOA.WHOA- in 25 YEARS, I've never had abs. I'm THIS close & I'm farting around on my diet?? Umm...no more." So he switched me to all fish: every meal, even breakfast. I locked it back down & haven't eaten anything outside my plan- the structure is surprisingly helpful.

My training was a little rough this week too- I could barely put up 1/2 the weight I usually do & tired quickly. I lowered my weight, pushed through it, got great pumps and actually saw progress. I noticed separation in my shoulders and between my quads & hamstrings that wasn't there last week- what an AWESOME feeling (those are 2 areas I needed the most work in.)

New songs that keep me going:
I'm On One (feat. Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne)
Ain't I (feat. Lil Wayne, Rick Ross & Maino)
Breakin' Dishes: Rihanna
Champion (feat. Chris Brown) Tinie Tempeh
I'm the Best: Nicki Minaj
Official Girl (feat. Lil Wayne) Cassie
Bow Chicka Wow Wow (feat. Lil Wayne) Mike Posner

Thanks for following this week! Happy training <3
