When I first created this blog back in January it was with the intention of keeping a professional, easy to access log of my training and progress. I hope I don’t sound vain, but a lot of people ask me for advice when it comes to exercise and fitness. I figured something like this would help people see how to balance fitness with their everyday, busy lives and also find some good ideas for recipes, training, etc. Unfortunately (fortunately?) life got in the way and I neglected this little baby all through my figure prep.
As you can see, change doesn’t take that long to take place. These two photos are two months apart – the left and the top are from May, the right and the bottom are from July. I’ve been a busy lady trying to get back into figure shape after a pretty intense off season. I hit a lot of PR’s, but I also ate a lot of food.
Now I’m about 10 days out from my first show of the year and ready to give some advice to people. I’ve found that looking at other people in similar situations keeps me motivated and helps me press on. Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr – you name it! I love seeing people progress. My most recent progress pictures are a little off the books since I want it to be a big surprise when I step on stage…but how do you like my suit? I bought the base from Saleyla and bedazzled it myself. These suits are so freakin’ expensive, I only paid about $200 all things said and done for this one. My last one was about the same, but I think this fits much, much better.
Anyway, keep checking back because I plan to update this – actually update it!
