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!

.:OXYGEN UPDATE:.

Hi Kerrianne,
How are you? I hope your training is going well. I have attached below all the travel info that you'll need to come in, if you have any questions please let me know. You will see the name of the hotel there as well. Because the hotel needs the card holder present you will need to pay for the hotel at the time of your stay and then after the shoot you can send me the bill and we will have you fully reimbursed. The hotel is very close to the studio we will be shooting at, which I will also send you directions to shortly.

We will be shooting some after shots, training, lifestyle type things. Your call time will be 8:30 am to come get hair and makeup done. Please be sure to come with a clean face, no product in your hair, fingers and toes no colour polish, clear or light pink is fine and of course in your top shape. If you can bring nude underwear (thong) and white no show socks that would be great.
Please be sure to be tanned so that the skin will shoot nicely. A level 2 spray tan is good or a few coats of self tanner. You can take a peak at any Oxygen to see what I mean.

So if you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at any time.
Thanks so much,
Erin

Hey guys, busy packing for the beach so I haven't had the chance to take progress pics- but I'm down 3 lbs this week- unfortunately, a solid INCH is in my chest (COME ON, REALLY??!) My body feels like it's been leaning out overnight b/c I can see/feel daily changes- just in time! I fly out of CVG through O'Hare @ 2:05pm the 11th. Please be praying for me! SO EXCITED I don't know if I'll be able to fall asleep tonight! Tomorrow, I'll be in Columbia, SC for the 1st time since I've moved from there a little more than a year ago. Cannot WAIT to see my friends that have only ever known the 65lbs heavier me. BRING ON THE BIKINIS! It feels incredible to actually be looking forward to getting in a bathing suit for the 1st time in my life. Running on the beach & returning to Gold's to take my old Zumba instructor are definitely things I'm looking forward to! Little things like that are cool little ways to see that training has completely changed- who I am & the things that are important to me. Have to jet & pack the rest of my food for this week- THANK YOU for following & have a GREAT 4th! Happy training!
