Ladies & gentlemen- it's been a while so I owe you some updates! The Oxygen Magazine came out Oct 4th and it's been the experience of a lifetime! For legality, Kelly Meade & I weren't told we had the cover shot 'til 3 days prior! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SURPRISE! The support from my friends & family has been awesome! A friend FB'ed me today saying she saw it in PARIS! Thanks to everyone who bought the issue so far!(my mom & dad had the Centerville area cleaned out for a week lol.) "Off the Couch" is a quarterly special edition so it should be out through January- please check it out!
I've also been invited to join Team Bombshell- a highly credited international fitness, figure & bikini competition squad! They are doing my prep for the Northern KY March 24 and I may also pick up the Arnold Classic March 4th.
Due to the confidentiality contract (they mean business!), I cannot discuss specifics of my diet/training. But I WILL tell you- these women KNOW what they're doing! My nutrition is crazy clean & I actually LOVE the structure. My monthly training splits are itemized down to each minute of cardio. I eat smaller portions every 2 hours for 6 meals which contain 7 forms of lean protein, 5 different complex carbs, 4 forms of essential fats, 5 different veggies & 26 supplements daily. I've completely cut wheat, dairy, alcohol, sugar (this includes artificial sweeteners-bye bye, crystal light & diet soda. Never thought I'd survive that but I notice cleaner energy!) I do use limited Stevia in my oats/coffee. No more condiments/salt in cooking except a little lemon juice/Mrs. Dash. I've also cut nuts, fruit & protein powders (casein/ almond butter are my crack cocaine!) I get all nutrition whole food & eat everything as raw as possible to preserve the nutrients. I make my raw egg whites into a protein shake for breakfast, you say E. coli- I say delicious. ( pshhh, I don't scare easy- plus with pasteurization, the whites are safer raw) I really struggled with sweets & eliminating sugar has balanced my insulin levels so I don't get cravings- it's much easier to make wise choices.
BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS. iced black coffee, egg white smoothie, oats & AM supplements. yum-pills, my favorite! :o)
3 weeks into my new training split & I'm STILL getting my ass handed to me daily (my legs gave out day #1 during my 2nd super set & I fell in front of the entire gym.) There's a REASON Bombshell athletes look incredible, these women train insane- and are know for the trademark "Bombshell Booty!" I still physically struggle to complete each split! TONS of plyometrics- I have been sore after EVERY lift! BUT I've made more progress in my legs in the last 3 weeks than I have in months so it just keeps me hungry for more! I am SO excited to see how these drastic changes impact my progress the next 18 weeks. Stay in touch- Thanks for following! 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!
