It has took me a minute but I am happy to say that I have finally reached my goal and become and an official IFBB Fitness Pro. Now it is on to bigger and better things and it all starts with tweaking my training workout so that I can come in more lean for my next show. I have added a lot more cardio but need to figure out the diet that works for me so its time for some more trial and error!!! Thats always fun! If anyone has any pointers please feel free to let me know what I can do to help me lean out!!:hungry:

Congrats on winning your pro card!!! What show are you considering making your debut at?

[GirlyMuscle]

Congrats!

What kind of diet do you follow now?

[ricker35910]

Congrats, what show did you win it at?

[michelley9073]

Thank you very much!! I won at Jr. Nationals in Chicago last month. I plan on making my debut Oct. 8th down in Ft. Lauderdale, pretty excited about it!

Diet: Diet consists of chicken, ground turkey, protein, veggies, eat lots of asparagus and eggs and I not to eat too much bread (my weakness) but when I do have carbs its whole wheat everything or brown rice. I have no problem bulking up, my biggest issue figuring out the leaning out process especially right before the show, I havent quite figured it out yet....
