Went to the cupboard. Despite being close to the show. When she got there The cupboard should have been bare Since she has trouble with “NO”. Here’s a recap of the competition from yesterday. The competition was an hour away from my house (w/o traffic) in Hollywood so I had decided I’d drive down in […]

Wanted to say hi before my competition tomorrow.  Unlike my first show, it’s been a really chill day.  Seriously, I’ve been so laid back.  It’s nice for a change.  Cuddled with hubby before I got up and had breakfast.  The I spent the day painting on my tan, managed to throw in a few errands, […]

I like to eat. Less than 2 weeks to my competition and surprisingly I feel pretty good despite being far from my goal on the scale.  My friend, Martha, came over this weekend to help me with my posing.  Turn your the palm of your paw toward your bum.  Arch your back and hold you […]

11 weeks out at 125.  It’s the thighs once again.  Always the thighs. It’s so much fun being a mismatched Russian nesting doll. Humpf.  I’ve been agonizing for days on wether or not to post this picture.  Okay, so I don’t think I look bad.  (However, I did cut my head out for a reason.)  But […]

Starting a competition diet and going on vacation the same week is not the best idea.  Humph.  We spent the week in Palm Springs with my grandparents.  We ate out every meal and I did my best to stick to my plan even if it meant wringing napkins under the table a few times.  I took two […]

Today I’m 12 weeks out from wearing my silly sparkly suit and heels.  I admire the hard work and discipline of all figure competitors, but I can’t help it, I just sort of feel like a goof walking around in a bikini and heels on a stage. Then why in the world am I doing […]

If you decide to compete in a figure competition you will need a sparkly figure competition suit or two depending on the federation.  You have a few choices.  The most sane (and pricey) choice is to buy a new custom figure competition suit made just for you.  You can also buy a used suit, rent […]

Finally I’m back to healthy.  I don’t think I’ve been that sick for years.  It makes me GRATEFUL for my health and even more motivated to continue to nourish and strengthen my body and encourage others to do the same.  I’m itching to get back to the gym too…hopefully tomorrow.  I’ve lost 4 pounds this week.  I […]

I just got back from the gym and planned to only do 20 minutes of  cardio but when I was done I was surprised that I wanted to lift.  Why? After 5 months of intense training I thought I may want to take some time off.  But I realized I love it. At least today […]

I won. Go figure. Now, I what am I going to write about? I had this, what I thought was going to be , really great post on losing ready to go. I need some time to think about it so instead I post a few pictures which are probably more fun than my silly […]
