Ready for 2016

Hey everyone!!!

So I've pretty much taken a year off of responsibilities for the most part... I have also gained about 35 or so pounds. So in an effort to get my body back I have decided that I'm going to start training for another fitness competition this coming May. The only thing that will change that is if I end up getting pregnant. I just got married in November so I'm hoping that a baby will happen but while I'm waiting I am going to focus on my health and getting my body back to where I used to be. If I end up getting pregnant well... then this blog will kinda turn into a fit pregnancy blog.

Well that's it for the update I will post again soon <3

4 Weeks Out!!! Pictures, Updates, Division Change, Upcoming Show Dates!!!

Hi there everyone!!!!

So I haven't updated in a long while... busy is an understatement! Now I see how in the beginning when I was doing all my obsessive research that sacrificial damage to the social life would happen... I...Totally...Get...It!

I feel like if I am not busy doing something then I am doing something wrong... I have even started carrying around a tiny note book that way anytime I think of something I can write it down... at least somewhere I can have everything in one place.

I am officially 4 weeks out! And if you may have noticed in my post title... I have made a division change!

I am so excited to announce that I will NOT be competing with the NPC... I have switched to the INBA!!!!

Reasons for Switching:

1. INBA is a completely natural competition. I will be required to take a drug test. I love that there is an even playing field.
2. INBA has AMAZING prizes for the pros that win! They are giving away a Car at the Olympia this year! 
3. INBA fits my goals for competing and it also supports my future goals in the competition world. 
4. I have a coach who is an INBA judge and 2012 INBA Coach of the year, 2012 Trainers Recognition award and the voice of the INBA and is currently being followed by documentary crew for a category called mini body building for kids fitness. Its going to be featured on stateside and in the UK. It will feature extraordinary youth athletes who are choosing a healthier lifestyle rather then playing video games and eating junk food. I am so excited that my daughter will be following in my footsteps and will be competing right along side me :) <-these kids are so adorable btw :)
5. I will have the opportunity to compete to get on Team USA and compete on an international level against 40+ countries and 1000's of athletes!

I will be competing in the following shows:

The Zeus Classic June 7th in Sacramento, CA

California Naturals August 9th in Petaluma, CA

Night of the Natural Champions September 13 in San Francisco, CA

My Daughter will be competing in this with me. 

Natural Championships September 20 in Reno, NV

Team USA!!!!!!!!!!!!! September 27 2014!!! Las Vegas Nevada!!!!!!

So as you can see... I have a ton of practice before I go for Team USA... but how crazy cool would that be!

I have been practicing my posing every single day and I love love love my routine! It's so me and very saucy!  All I really have left to work on in the posing department is the flexing and the squeezing of everything and arching your back... it's hard stuff!

I have also been taking a ton of vitamins every day. I take fish oil, women's vitamin pack, biotin and a fat burner. 

My diet is super basic... it's nice because I know what I am having every day. I basically have egg whites and oatmeal for breakfast and chicken, turkey or fish and tons of veggies for the rest of my meals. Post workout I am eating more egg whites and grilled veggies. 

I feel like a gym rat now to... people are starting to recognize me ha ha! Oh and I have started doing Zumba! Funnest thing in my life! I like want to get certified to teach it on the weekends or something! I love it!

I sold my blue suit... it was way to big on me :( but I have a super sexy silver one but I am going to keep what it looks like a secret until you see my stage photos! I know... :) but I want it to be a surprise!

I hope all your competition prep is going lovely!!!

6 Weeks Left!

Holy Smokes!

Here I am 6 weeks in 6 weeks out! I have stuck with the diet and the exercise this entire time and have seen some amazing results. Physically I am feeling like a dang rock star... Mentally... I am feeling like... eh...um... I really want a cheese burger....

I think that the hardest thing throughout this whole prep is that I absolutely Love...Love... Love food! We are homies... we are BFFFs... All I think about... dream about is fricking food!

Everything I eat now is to keep me alive... its basic nutrition to keep my body fueled and moving... I have had to get creative with my meals because they are BEYOND boring... what I wouldn't give to have All you Can eat Sushi, a Giant Cheeseburger with a fried egg on top, egg rolls, pie, cake, ice cream, Jalapeno Bagel smothered with spicy cheddar jalapeno cream cheese, Mexican food, french fries, milk shakes, cheese cake, brownies, candy, muffins.... mmmmmmmmmmmm

Stomach just growled wicked loud... it misses is yum yums :-( The thing is... the BEST thing about life is eating...delicious...food! And I feel like all the joy in life has been robbed from me and I want it back right meow!

Okay... pity party over....

I would have to say that this week I have hit the make it or break it point. I could honestly quit right now and never look back if I didn't want this so bad. Before all this I could quit no problem but after investing all the time and effort not to mention the amazing results I couldn't quit right now no matter how bad I wanted to.

I'm in it to win it... and I want to keep competing this summer... so I need to get used to it, which I dont think that I ever will, but I am used to the lifestyle. The 6 meals a day and the crave for that daily burn, even my little one enjoys going to the gym with me every day.

I also have my posing routine down now all I need to do is perfect it. I am excited that it's all coming together, just wish I could fast forward to the end... not that I want to get this all over with but I want to see what my body will look like!

Loving my results and that my abs are starting to show and don't even get me started about my butt and legs... I've been obsessing about the waist down department... looking super hot and toned!

I do have a favor to ask.... Do you know any good ways to do up egg whites? I eat them every day and have run out of ideas for sprucing... :-) I have seen a few online but I want to know what you do to make those egg whites bearable.

I wish you the best of luck this week! Be Fit!

Week 3 Meal Plan

Sorry this is late guys :-( I still have no internet at home and I am being very very sneaky and using my computer at work. Here is my meal plan for week 3 :) Enjoy!

Sorry for the kind of blurry picture :)

FYI: This weeks meal plan took me 20 minutes instead of the hours last week :)

Today was Hard!

Today was hard and long! I am exhausted and the only reason why I am posting is so that I can continue to hold myself accountable for this. I had a long day at work and ate as soon as I came home so I ended up having to wait until after 8 to get my work out in. Not the best idea since I still had to make lunches for the whole fam as well as myself....and do the dishes...oy vey!

Since I am such an awesome fiance' I made Mike the most delicious enchiladas... then sat there staring at them in their cheesy saucy goodness and almost cried. I loooovvveeee me some enchiladas but my goals and what I am working for are more important to me right now and I can dig into some cheesy saucy goodness after my competition or for a cheat meal at the end of the week :) hopefully there are still left overs by then.

Yesterday I promised to put up my tuna salad recipe :) You can find it here!

And a happy little picture from yours truly to show you how I feel about my day:

Well thats all I have for today... ate right...worked out...drank water...peed every 2 minutes (tmi I know but its driving me absolutely crazy!) and now I am off to bed. Oh before I forget to mention it I have started to notice serious beauty changes. My skin is clear and glowing and my hair and nails look great :) Loving how all this work is paying off for me more than in the form of biceps :)

Meal Plan and Prep

Today I wanted to share with you my meal prep and plan for competition prep week 2. Since one of my goals this week was to be completely on competition diet by the end of the week I have made sure that my meal plan reflects that. I have also decided to cut back on logging my foods with myfitnesspal because it is taking up to much of my time and then I end up stressing about being 3 grams of carbs over for the day, however I will still continue to do it if I have time.

Like I said before and I will say it again... meal planning is the hardest part of this whole thing. I can work out like a champ but when it comes to writing down what you are planning on eating for an entire week then actually sticking to it is tough cookies...mmmmm cookies... anyway it took me an honest hour an a half to put together my meal plan for the week but I was starting from scratch I think as the weeks go by I will get better at it but I will never stop doing research on nutrition and pinterest has been my god send!

Here is my meal plan for the week (sorry for the crappy picture):

I will be making everything from scratch and will post the recipes on my Recipes page as I go and since I am having Tuna Salad for lunch tomorrow I will put that one up with my update tomorrow night :) p.s. the sausage patties are actually turkey sausage links this week since I noticed while I was at the store that 3 links has less sodium then 2 of the turkey sausage patties with the same caloric count and protein. The toast is also 100% whole wheat bread.

I also meal prepped for the week which I highly recommend. I can't tell you how many times I have gotten ready to leave for work then thought oh shoot I forgot to cook my chicken... then I end up eating something that I did not plan for and usually not clean. Its better to plan ahead. Since this week I will be eating chicken for lunch and dinner I am making 3 large chicken breasts (about half a breast is between 4 and 6 ounces) and 3 sweet potatoes ahead of time.

The seasoning that I put on my chicken is all sodium free. I put the spices on the chicken one at a time usually in this order:

Italian Seasoning

Garlic Powder

Paprika 

Sage

Onion Powder

Rosemary

Turmeric 

I love spices better then just splashing on some Ms. dash and this combo is my fav and you can certainly mix them all together and do it rub style. :) 

I cook both the potatoes and the chicken at 375 for an hour or until the chicken is done. 

Today is my easy day I only need to run 2 miles :) technically this is my rest day but after the work outs I have been putting in only a 2 mile run is easy peasy! I hope you like my meal planning tactics and it helps you out if you are planing on competing bikini. Off to go run now!

Week 1 Progress!!

Ohmygosh!!! I have never seen my body like this!!!! I am so pumped for the results!! It makes every meal, mile, plank and mountain climbers (hate those the most by the way) completely worth it. And I must say that I am exuding extreme self control. In the last 2 days I was tempted with frozen yogurt at yogurt beach and a company hosted lunch today that was olive garden lasagna with bread sticks and salad. I turned down the yogurt and brought my own chicken and brown rice to eat instead of the lasagna, but I did eat the salad... and a ton of it  :) Tomorrow is my daughters birthday so I will also be tempted to eat cake and pizza. Which I will in fact do... I will have one slice of pizza and a hugemoungous salad and a sliver of cake :) that way my daughter feels like I am enjoying her party.

So here are my one week results:

Day 1:                  End of Week 1:
135lbs                     134lbs


I also lost an inch in my hips but did not lose any of my body fat percentage maybe by this time next week. I am loving the results I have been seeing so far! What do you think?

I am excited for these pictures and I cant believe that's even my body that I am looking at right there! Tomorrow is the beginning of Week 2 and it starts out with a bang! Yoga first thing in the morning then leg day :( I want those sexy legs! I had my significant other take a picture of my booty so I could see what it looked like and although those buns are starting to look nice I still have a long way to go! 

I will check back in tomorrow!! Off to go watch a movie with my better half :)
