LOVE IT!! Look what a difference it made in just nine days! With this new supp and a lot of nutritional advice from Fit Resolutions master trainer Phil Nohe I made this much progress.

Winners.

Being a winner in any sport doesn’t necessarily mean bringing home a trophy or medal every time. I think anyone who strives to make every performance better than their last and who doesn’t quit just because they get knocked down a few times are winners too. Sometimes when I get down about not being the best competitor out there I look back to where I started and it keeps me striving to be better. 18 months ago I could never hang with any of the NPC girls. Now at least I look like I belong. I’m going to keep at it until I get it right!!

New supp!

Well I’m back to contest prep yet again but this time I had one of the trainers from Fit Resolutions take a whack at my diet. I take a medication that makes me extremely insulin resistant and it appears as if I have a sensitivity to whey. Two things that are not a figure competitor’s friend. So what is a bloated bodybuilder to do? Well, Master Trainer Phil Nohe has added coconut oil into my diet and has also replaced some of my solid protein meals with Humapro which is a plant based protein that is more like a BCAA drink than a shake. So far so good! I’ll keep everyone posted about whether these changes make a big difference!

I needed this today…

“It’s important to know that at the end of the day it’s not the medals you remember. What you remember is the process– what you learn about yourself by challenging yourself, the experiences you share with other people, the honesty the training demands — those are things nobody can take away from you whether you finish twelfth or you’re an Olympic Champion.”

I guess I really needed a few more weeks to trim down. I landed in the middle of a pack of 16 incredible girls. Here’s a pic of me next to the gal who took first overall.

#50 has a tiny waist!

Well I’m here in Louisville getting ready to compete in the NPC Kentucky Derby and I’m sitting in a hotel room getting ready for my trainer Mike Ely to arrive. Just 18 months ago I stood on stage and listened to him yell out to his girls “keep it tight”…”tiny waist!” I was so jealous that I didn’t have anyone in the audience screaming out things for me. But now, finally, at my 8th NPC I finally have that trainer by my side. He’ll be here to pump me up, cheer me on and to remind me that no matter what happens I’ve come a long way. I already feel like a winner.

The Los Angeles Times reports that what you eat may effect how you look.

Scientists have known for a while that the same pigments that give fruits and vegetables their color —carotenoids — can accumulate in your skin and give it color too. What they didn’t know was this: How many fruits and vegetables do you have to eat for how long in order for people to notice the difference in your coloring? And what, if anything, will people think of the difference?

***

On average, a difference of about 2.9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day was enough for the students to discriminate on the basis of healthy appearance, with more servings associated with looking healthier. Similarly, about 3.3 servings a day was enough for them to discriminate on the basis of attractiveness — with more servings associated with better looks

I just realized during my 8 peak week that our tap water is LOADED with sodium. If you are in a neighborhood with hard water or well water yours may be loaded with it too! Check this article out.

The Fighter.

This week’s inspiration comes from the Gym Class Heroes. I really needed this song this weekend. If something could go wrong with contest prep it has. I’ve strained something in my back. I’ve come down with a touch of the flu and I’m on the verge of becoming hormonally challenged by Mother Nature. But I’m not giving up! One week left.

Just waking up in the morning

And to be well,

Quite honest with ya,

I ain’t really sleep well

Ya ever feel like your train of thought’s been derailed?

That’s when you press on – Lee nails

Half the population’s just waitin to see me fail

Yeah right, you’re better off trying to freeze hell

Some of us do it for the females

And others do it for the retail

But I do it for the kids, life threw the towel in on

Everytime you fall it’s only making your chin strong

And I’ll be in your corner like mick, baby, til the end

Or when you hear a song from that big lady

[Bridge]

Until the referee rings the bell

Until both your eyes start to swell

Until the crowd goes home

What we gonna do ya’ll?

[Chorus - Ryan Tedder]

Give em hell, turn their heads

Gonna live life til we’re dead.

Give me scars, give me pain

Then they’ll say of me, say of me, say of me

There goes the fighter, there goes the fighter

Here comes the fighter

That’s what they’ll say of me, say of me, say of me,

This one’s a fighter

[Verse 2]

And if I can last thirty rounds

There’s no reason you should ever have your head down

Six foot five, two hundred and twenty pounds

Hailing from rock bottom, loserville, nothing town

Text book version of a kid going nowhere fast

And now I’m yelling “kiss my ass”

It’s gonna take a couple right hooks, a few left jabs

For you to recognize you really ain’t got it bad
