It's Been A Long Time

Hi Friends!

Yes, I did go MIA for quite some time but I am back BABY!!!  I hope to be blogging every week at least.  So let's us begin:

Well, winter is here and with MY winter comes off-season.   Yes, some of us are a little bit "jolly" this time of year but like I say the more the merrier!  HO HO HO! 

When I say more, I most definitely mean more padding.  This helps to keep us warm on those cold, frosty nights...BRRRR.  It's that little something extra....a tad bit more fat, rounder muscle belly for most muscles and for me...a little round face LOL. 

I know for some competitors, this is one of the hardest challenges to overcome.  It's that whole mental game.  The world thinks you look frickin' amazing but your mind is telling you "GIRL, you need to get back on that treadmill."

All I have to say is:

1) Trust the process
2) Execute the plan
3) Follow through

A change is going to come and for the better.  A work of art takes time and that also goes for your body.  Just make sure you are always challenging yourself. CHALLENGE THE DAY.  I have been saying this over and OVER and OVER for the last month or so. 

Before this short & sweet blog post is over...one more reminder for you....NEVER forget about why you started your journey.   

Ta-ta for now!

Bloat, Bloat, Bloat Your Boat

With off-season comes a little bit of bloated behaviour.  I am consuming more carbs, higher sodium intake (love my hot sauces & salsa), pushing heavy-a** weight at the gym & just loving life.

Carbs = Pure Happiness (jk)

My mantra right now is "Love They Body" but it's posing as a real challenge these days.  With my abs going undercover for the winter season and my torso growing wider and wider, it's a HUGE struggle some days than others.

Taken a week ago showing my off-season tummy.
Abs are probably less noticeable now.

The one thing I always come back to is this:  

It's only temporary and the minor short-term sacrifice will make a physique better in the long run.

Like I always say "Be Better Than Yesterday".  It's more like "Be Better Than Last Competition."  Bringing my best body to date is the game plan and this girl is on a mission.  THAT'S RIGHT my dear friends.  Mission Pro Card is back on and in full swing.  

2013 IFBB World Qualifiers will be my next showing and I cannot wait to show all of Canada what I have to offer.  It's going to be one heck of a year.  

I say DREAM BIG and NEVER let anyone bring you down.
