when is your next show and how do you feel you will do? Are you concerned that most pro shows do not have weight classes?

Hey Lil BIG Mama...Why did you finally switch over to bodybuilding from figure?

How is offseason?

Can you post some of your workouts?...I wanted to come train w/ you but now I wanna see if I can hang or not...smile.

Hi 2hot to be in da same room. wait let me put my shades on:cool:.whoa dats better I think its all the sparkle u set off, Okay I'm gonna try for the Atlantic Pro and though I will probably be the smallest on the stage that's okay.Like I told Drex I wanna go represent the smallest of the small:p so even if I'm dead last It won't matter cause I'm proud to be a featherweight:D and I HOPE that it will encourage the Lt. weight ladies in the amature divsion to continue the quest for the card. Not really concerned about not having a separate divsion but more concerned as to what is to become of all the PROS if we let situation were in go, and fight back and say were not gonna take it anymore. Did a liltte research on the IFBB minutes and found a proposal that was denied this past year at thier last meetin where our rep had proposed lower the sanction to help encourge promoters to continue having pro ffb shows. here it is . This one way our rep felt would help and if you think about it , if the promoters are saying we have no money for the sanctions fee....reducing it would help right? then why reject :confused:




5. Be it resolved that “some concession” [reduction] be made with respect to the sanction fee for women’s events so that promoters feel these events are financially viable.
REJECTED

You know the thing that kills me the most is what do they do with all that money anyway? in the npc we all pay 85.00 to have a card!! and then pay to enter the show which i know goes to the promoter. but they pay sanction fees and then what happens to that money? and like you said why reject the proposal? I wonder if anyone can actually find out?

That's Betty Pariso, right? Good on her and bad on the IFBB. :(

When I read or heard somewhere that the license or sanction fee was in the thousands, I couldn't believe it. Wtf. Iris gets what for winning the Olympia?

Is it greed or are they trying to just destroy the sport through fees?

I have actually decided to aim for NAs...we'll regroup and see how things are and then discuss nationals...I wanted to compete this year but I wanted to aim for something I'd never done...so keep your fingers crossed! :flex:

First let me apologies for not answering soon enough, I must have skipped the question. My sincere apologies:o As far as my diet well the biggest difference is I added steak to my meals there are days where I will eat 3 steaks in one day (6 ozs) each, plus more carbs before it would be about 1/2 cup of rice, but lately since after the Europa I changed it up to 1 cup of brown rice or jasmine rice, and increased the amount of red potato's from 1/2 to a whole potato. In all it has been a increase in calories because I still eat 6 meals a day and a pre and post meal that consist of a protein shake with waxi maize and if I run out of waximaze what I do is take the frozen mixed fruit and water blend in blender to make smoothie and add protein powder for the pre and for the post I'll take cranberry juice and add the protein for the post which I take immediately after wt. training alo make sure that I consume a meal with in 1 hour after training which has also helped. I could go on and on but thats pretty much the biggest difference. Here is a pic of me at 134 currently at 136.8




Welcome, what's your diet like now?

lol GM, Drex was making fun of me cause when I was talking to her on the cell she asked what I was doing I said I was pressing the clothes and she said "whats pressing" I informed her that I have a presser like the dry cleaners do but a smaller version, cause I do a lot or ironing and with reg. irons I'd burn then out to fast. She thought that was funny and said she was gonna post it up Beni's Pressing Buisness now open. lol:D

Hi Beni I'm a big fan of what you bring to the stage, I have some of your pics on my motivational poster :D My question is when you diet down for a show what type of diet do you prefer to use and how many weeks out do you start it at?

lil mama
10-08-2009, 03:55 PM
:) Thank you so much for stopping by I appreciate your visit to my Q&A and your kind words, as for my dieting I start of with a 16wk. diet the first 7 weeks of the diet really isnt a diet I mostly just clean meals up a lil for example no more midnight cereal eating and I stop grazing or snacking here and there replace eating graham cookies with eating raw broccoli and cauliflower as snacks and start to incorporate cardio. To be honest my really change begins at 9wks out thats when my diet really starts to kick in I do 2 days high carb and one day low carb all meals consumed are real food no protein drinks and no carb replacement mixes for pre wk.out and post wk.outs then it changes at the 6wk mark where carbs are consistent then again it changes at the 4wk mark and 2nd wk mark and the last week it's just drying out but I never really completely dry out I am not a fan of completely shredded look I prefer a tad softer look on me. Once again I appreciate you stopping by have a great day.:hugme:
