the above link is my current pics for my transformation......

happy new year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! this is my new years resolution to keep this thing updated. So here I go starting the new year on the right foot.

I am currently morphing my former BBer physique to that of a physique competitor. I am really happy with how I am looking and feeling. I have enlisted the help of PJ Braun, friend and fellow species athlete. In 14 weeks I have managed to drop 20 lbs of fat and muscle to where I am seeing myself in the shape of 2008-09. Being bigger as a pro just wasnt making me happy. Being more petite and streamlined has made me more comfortable and happy in my own skin. You will see my debut at the NY PRO and TORONTO SUPERSHOW this spring. I am very excited for what 2012 will bring!

Gearing up for the Arnold in 8 weeks where i will be working the species booth once again w my fellow favorite peeps..Nicole, Melissa, Jilli, PJ, Ann Mo Kat and of course one of my favorite people JOEL,.....love my species family !

Well there you have it....IM BACK! heres to a kick azz 2012!

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!
