I have been so bad at keeping this updated.

first off, the arnold was a couple weeks ago and I worked for Species for the weekend. I am not a species athlete and thrilled to be a rep for THE best company in the biz.

i start prep in a few weeks for the hartford pro. i am excited to see my improvements and see what they think of a smaller physique at the pros. as always, george will be my right hand man in my prep just as he has been for years.

thanks for stopping in,,,

back to life

elena seiple said this to me a couple years ago and she was right on the mark. whether you win your pro card or not, your back to your life as it was before your show. back to work, home, life. nothing really changes other than im a PRO instead of just a bodybuilder. its a GREAT feeling mind you, dont get me wrong, i am so glad i FINALLY MADE IT! but i train the same, will prep the same, just be a different playing field.

i am blessed to have some great people that will make this new journey less scary! i am thrilled that now i dont have to worry about making weight and i can relax and improve the way i need to.

fall is here in upstate NY and its gorgeous. i love sept. i could take this allt he time. leaves are changing, nights are frosty and apple season is in full swing. and i can eat them this year since imnot prepping for nationals! yey!

new ifbb pro!

i have been super bad at posting here!

I AM A IFBB PRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do you have any idea how wonderful it is to say that and have it be true!? i am so blessed to have such a great support system and i have thought so much about that these last few days.

thanks to my parents, wes, GEORGE, MICHELE, alicia, chris, patti....my rx muscle family....i love all of oyu.

look for me to grace the pro stage next summer!

8 weeks out!

Things are shaping up very nicely at the 8 week mark. I have lost 10 lbs in 8 weeks, have 8 weeks to go and 5 lbs to lose. George is slowing me down some...I get a cheat meal tonight....wa hoo! burger here i come!

My gym is closed for a week, and its a stress I dont need right now...I have to drive an extra 10 miles 1 way to the next town over to train til they get the move finished. Living in the boonies, we dont have a gym on every block like a city does. we have 1....and this week none!

leaves are peaked and its been a gorgeous month here... i love fall.

the o was this weekend and i must give a shout to my friend jen for winning the fitness o, and george for taking 5th in the 202 class. its the best hes ever looked...so proud of him.

thanks for stopping by....off to have my burger now!

12 weeks out

4 weeks in and 12 to go. things are shaping up pretty nicely. i have about 10 lbs to go...have to to make weight. suits are ordered, routine and music are done, travel plans made, now i just gotta get to my all time best!

leaves are changing here already. hard to believe its time agian. sept is my favorite month, so i hope its beautiful. after the wet summer, we deserve it!

16 weeks baby!

Well its that time agian....16 weeks til Atlanta. I am excited to be starting prep. I want to see the improvements I have made unwrapped! I am pretty lean right now, about 14 lbs to lose I guess. I hope it melts off as easy as last year.


let the games begin!

20th high school reunion

how time flies! I had my 20th reunion this weekend..it was great seeing everyone. I must admit a few people looked so different I didnt recongize them ( good and bad). I reconnected with several close friends ..ann, kerry, jess and kim..and it was so nice to see how far people have come, how theyve changed and to talk about old times. I was a really party girl in school, and my life couldnt be farther from that now!

19 weeks til i hit nationals. 3 weeks til prep starts, i an stoked for it. no messing around ..i am bringing my A game..this ones mine.
