The Fame of Health and Fitness

354 DAYS:

After winning my Pro Card with the WBFF on June 23rd I am now eligible to compete with the other pro’s across the world once a year. This past August I had to miss competing at the WBFF World Championship because of a family wedding but it’s on for 2013! Today is day 1 of 354 days as I maintain a solid off season while making gains and working toward bringing my best body for the WBFF World Championships in 2013. If you have been following my blog since my first competition in 2011 and/or my second competition in 2012, you will know that my my journey to the stage has been filled with challenges and triumphs. Last season especially brought several challenges and lessons to be learned and I even trained while working full time (unlike my first show, I had 2 months prior to my show to just focus on training). This year, not only will I  be working full time, training full time, but also planning a wedding, and getting married one month prior to Worlds! Talk about challenges. If I can get through this and look back on my achievements and be proud, then this is success.

I am looking forward to filling you in on the adventures that have taken place over the last two weeks and also catching up on reading your blogs! I have missed you and I am happy to be back in action with you once again.

For some of you today is the first day of school and for me Fall always brings a sense of something new and special. Let’s work together to achieve our goals and bring our best self every day! 2013 is right around the corner and I want you and myself to feel happy with health and fitness BEFORE the new year, not after.

Who’s with me?

In less than 3 weeks is the WBFF World Championships and as much as I want to compete as a Pro for the first time, I can’t. On August 25th (the same day as the Pro show) I will be standing up in a family wedding. At first, I was extremely disappointed but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that everything happens for a reason. If I was meant to compete at this Pro show then I would be available to compete but I’m not and in my eyes it wasn’t meant to be this year. The good news out of all this is that I will have another year to train so I can bring a better package than I brought to the BC show. That’s really the main idea in this sport - to continue to challenge yourself and improve. Another positive is that I will be in Toronto for the Pro Athlete meeting so finally I will get to meet the other Pros! These are the athletes who inspired and motivated me to hit the stage - what an honor!

Sooooo if you are ready for another ride, come join me over the next 365 days as I practice my best ‘off season’ and continue to improve myself inside and out! I have a long list of goals for myself and things I want to work on so once again I’m going to push my own limits and see what I can improve on.

In the meantime, I know for a fact that this year’s WBFF Pro show is going to be the best you have seen yet! The fitness models will be bringing something to the stage that this industry has not seen in the history of WBFF. If you haven’t already, make sure you get your tickets and PPV info at: www.wbffshows.com

Because I can’t watch the show live, I will have my cell phone hidden under the wedding head table for WBFF World updates (shhh!). I can not wait to see who the new World champions will be! It’s like Christmas all over again!!

I have been working really hard ever since my competition and I am still in competition prep. There are a handful of events that are right around the corner that I am preparing for and very soon I will update you with what’s been going on! As always thanks for reading, your support, and messages!!!

Let’s do this! xo
