My Theme Song for Jr Nationals & this Journey

Competing is what I LOVE! It's in my blood! I am SO BLESSED AND THANKFUL for the opportunities I've had, friends I've made, and for having such an AMAZING husband who has helped me along this journey and been there for me every step of the way! 10 years ago I NEVER would have thought this would be my life right now... but I just want to Thank my Heavenly Father above for allowing these dreams to become a reality! As I always say, we are given the gifts.. but it's up to us to use them!
No matter what happens this weekend, I am proud to say I've put in the work, I've put in the time, the rest is out of my hands! Either way- this is my theme song for this journey I've been on within the industry!! Thank you to my family, my friends, to SiouxCountry.com and anyone who has been a part of this ride! I LOVE MY LIFE!! I made it!

NABBA Keystone States Champion!

......... I'm so proud to announce that yesterday my husband competed at the NABBA Keystone States show and it was a GREAT success!! He won 1st place in the Men's Novice Medium Class and went on to win Novice Overall Champion! He also won 1st place in Men's Open Tall Class!! He looked AMAZING on stage with his classic physique! I cannot tell you how proud of him I am! He works sooo hard, it's great to see him recognized on stage! This is only the beginning of a VERY good summer!

4 Weeks To Go...

I've got FOUR weeks to go until Jr Nationals! The countdown is on! I just need to make sure I do everything in my power each day to make sure I come in at my best! Taking things one day at a time! Stay Tuned...

Be Prepared

I've found myself having a hard time with the competition diet lately. I've come to realize I was letting myself go too long in between meals, allowing myself to get hungry, and then my mind goes wild with crazy things I want to eat. The thing is, I need to be better prepared. I can't let myself get to the hungry point... not only because of the cravings, but if I get hungry- that means my body might be using my muscles for food! I don't want to breakdown ANY muscle! So I'm making the necessary changes to make sure this doesn't happen. This picture is just an example of how, as competitors (and also those attempting to live a healthy lifestyle) need to be prepared and plan ahead. That means, packing home cooked meals and carrying a lunch box, so if I get stuck out somewhere... I have HEALTHY food ready to eat! Just a side note, it's always much quicker to go ahead and fix extra food when you cook. Store what you don't need in tupperware in the fridge for later use. That way, you can throw it in a lunch box, or grab it out of the fridge, throw it in the microwave and eat up as needed... rather than taking a half hour to try to fix something while munching away on foods probably not needed.
