It has only been a few weeks since my last update but allot has happened!
I have accepted a position in Ontario and will be relocating in just a few weeks!
I am more than excited for this new journey and chapter in my life, especially because it includes 4 new VERY special people. 2011 has been a dream thus far and I can only imagine what will be in store for me during the next 10 months!
Training is going exceptionally well and since starting the new cutting program two weeks ago I have made major body changes. In fact I have made such great changes that we are adjusting things and pulling back a bit. Because preparing for a competition is so precise and requires exact timing and calculations in order to come in just the right condition we have had to make alterations to ensure that happens. My over charged metabolism prefers to burn all the food I eat within the first 15min of eating! While some think that is a dream come true, it can also be a hurdle in trying to maintain all the muscle I have worked hard to build over the past year. So the calories are up again and we are trying 4 more weeks of fat loading until I reach the 8 week out mark. One week at a time is the strategy here :)
I am busy saying goodbye to loved ones in Alberta and packing up all of my belongings to make the journey to Ontario. This sounds like a huge task for most however I have a few advantages on my side! One, I have moved across the country and across the world a few times (under statement) within the past 8 years. Two, I have put wheels on all of my belongings so I just roll with it, lol (at least I still have my humor). Three, I have the most supportive family and friends to help me adjust and motivate me through whatever comes my way. I am truly blessed.
Posing practice has begun and the 5 inch clear heels are working it twice a week to ensure I present myself to the best of my ability. I am convinced that I need higher heels but some would argue ;) My seamstress and I went to get my competition posing suit fabric and I cannot wait to start working on making it fabulous with over 1000 crystals! It’s going to be blinged to the nines! She is a fabulous designer and also happens to be my progress picture photographer.
On another note, a FABULOUS note in fact! I am now an official Beyond Nutrition Sponsored Athlete! Woot Woot! I am very excited and honored to join the BN team. This company makes some fabulous products and I know that the ALL OUT pre-workout drink gives me that extra push to getter done, and getter done right! Thank you Joe and Chris for the opportunity!! I will make you proud :)
