Well I am officially in my prep mode for the 2013 Washington Iron Man on October 5th and the Midnight Sun in Anchorage, AK on November 9th. I am currently working out on a 5 day split with lifting and doing cardio every day! My diet is on point and I am trying to stay positive and be consistent. I gained a little more body fat in my "off season" than I planned for, but I have to stay focused on what I want to acheive in the next 11 weeks, not what damage I did since my last show. I never took a break from training since the Emerald Cup and honestly, this is the best off season I've had so far. It takes discipline and practice to learn how to balance and stay on track right after competing and I am still learning. I have to remind myself I'm not perfect and I've only been doing this for a year and a half! I've come a LONG way from where I started and it's only going to get better. I feel like going into this next fall season, I have blossomed somewhat into a more serious competitor. I have done 3 shows now and feel like I'm getting closer to the physique that I want to acheive with each prep I go through. Maybe this will be my year! A huge reason I love this sport... I always have something to look forward to. Another show, a new stage, a new physique! Stay tuned! :)
I also created my own fund raising site with an itemized list of my competition expenses! If you would like to help support my journey to the stage just click on my link below!
