Hey ladies! It's been a hot second since I've updated..
Here we go...
Contest prep 2014 is officially underway!
I had my fun navigating my own off season, I don't play that crazy shit during contest prep..so, as of the first of the year, I put my physique back in the hands (and mind lol) of Joe Franco. We had 4 successful years together and I'm confident that 2014 will be no different. If there's anyone who understands my brand of crazy combined with my work ethic, it's him. Joe is handling both my diet/nutrition and cardio. As far as training goes, I'll be taking a page from my off season and running a mix of power and Mountain Dog. I love the intensity and I feel like my physique really transformed with this approach so I'm looking forward to utilizing it with a cutting diet...as opposed to eating everything not nailed down, hey..I was growing ((eyeroll))
I'll be tracking my progress weekly with the scale (shoot me!) and pictures. Both of which make me want to play in traffic. I hit the stage at 125lbs last summer, I'm sitting a good 35lbs (give or take) above that. Of course, WP is by height, so the actual NUMBER on the scale doesn't matter but I am hoping to come in harder and ideally at 130+lbs. Is that realistic? I have no fuckin clue but in my head it is lol I had a fantastic off season, how much of that equates to bigger/denser muscle...we will see. On a positive note, I am carrying this weight better than I ever have in the past so while I definitely have my work cut out for me, I do feel like I'm in a decent place.
As things sit now, I'm currently (just under) 18wks out from Team Universe. I'm kicking around the idea of a local show in either Philly or Jersey a couple weeks prior, so we'll see about that but the goal is to peak and bring my best package to Teaneck, NJ on July 4th.

AWESOME!!! Also I read your recap of your powerlifting event! AWESOME x's 100!!! I know it must have felt great to actually make that muscle work & perform! So good on you mama! BadA$$ trophy indeed!
I feel & hear you on off season weight! I surely got a bit heavier than I had intended or wanted! And of course I knew it would result in another 20 week prep! Gack! I also hear you on how you are holding your weight. I can clearly see a difference in this off season from the one prior. I have definitely put some solid muscle on all oever and have changed my shape. Especially my booty! More glute than before = higher & tighter even with fluff on it! I bet it is the same for you! So yes you could easily be at least 4-6 pounds heavier because of muscle mass. And that is a great thing!
As for my show date. It's been pushed back from June. Things were going along well & I 've lost 10 pounds over the past 8 weeks. Then everyday life hit again! So my prep is getting a reboot while Bossman gets ready for Team U! If all goes well I will continue my "slooooooow" cut over the coming months. The goal to hold more of that hard earned muscle. And if I am in the right place physically & mentally I will compete in September.
Yay yay yay! I hope to get to meet you in person at Team U!
Here is to Prep 2014! You Can Do It!!!
