At this point I had NO idea that I would be competing this year. A trainer challenged me to join him in a 12-week pre-contest diet he was doing, just to see what it was like, and to go home and take pictures. This would be the beginning of a great journey. 122 lbs...21.1%BF!
11 WEEKS OUT...119lbs...11.75%BF
Recent Accomplishments in the Gym:shoulder press machine:160lbs(with a spot) calf raises (using leg press machine) 630lbs

Saturday, time for cardio. Thought about hitting the gym, but didn't want to waste the beautiful summer day. So I headed for the hills instead :) We are close to the Rockies here in Calgary and right by my house is Nosehill Park, the foothills.
Le barzellette = i scherzi...Grazie mille:) Anche signora "nonna", credevo che le nonne si hanno i capelli grigii e si andano coi bastone da passegio...non si sollevano 1000 lbr. con sue gambe e CERTAMENTE non si esibirono un corpo musculoso cuando portando un costume da bagno;) Che tipo di vecchia e Lei?![lol]:-)
IT IS, WORTH IT,SO ARE THE FRIENDS I LOVE AND RESPECT,JUST HONESTLY SPEAKING,NOTHING TASTE AS GOOD AS THE FEELING OF SAYING "I DIDNT CHEAT TODAY" DID I MENTION
" MAN THOSE HONEY BUNS LOOKED GOOD",
Haha actually we did 500 pound ones instead. He joined me for most of my workout, as he hasnt had anyone to lift with while he's been here! I love the profile picture! You look incredibly lean in it! Hope you have fun at Nationals, and take lots of pictures!!
