Where Have I been???

October 9, 2013
Well after vowing to quit neglecting this page I did a poor job of that! I've been so busy with life and training that I've just left this blog alone. I have been making improvements and as you'll see from my updated pages I've even won an overall title and I'm so humbled by that. I'm back at it though and I've got a fire under my ass to keep this page updated so I know this blog is short but I will put out another one tomorrow giving the FULL run down of what has been happening in my life, training and nutrition!

I've Neglected This Place!

July 10, 2013
I admit, I have totally been neglecting this blog and site. Life gets in the way and I ended up not making these updates a priority. Whoopsy! I should have been more vigilant with this but I was not and that's all on me. I really am going to get back to writing once a week or more post. It not only helps me get my thoughts out but to let everyone know what's going on and what I am thinking. So here's what has been going on...I will start prepping for my first figure competition on July 21st! ...

Change is good

March 25, 2013
I will admit this off-season hasn't been easy for me. It's been hard for me to not have abs and for all my pants to be either really tight or not fitting at all. I knew this would happen though, I knew that if I wanted to build muscle that I would have to eat more, MUCH MORE, and I never thought that eating all that food would be a struggle, but to be honest it has been a huge struggle. Mentally, physically, emotionally, every aspect has been effected and I was not prepared for that even thou...

I'm Back!

February 6, 2013
My elbow surgery went very well and I am able to move more and my range of motion is almost back to normal. I've actually been able to lift heavy this week with my other body parts which I'm so happy about. I am still taking it easy with shoulder and bi/tri movements but I have an appt with my doc on Feb 15th and I'm thinking he is going to release me. I've also been going to physical therapy every Friday since my surgery. Things are going good and I hope to be back at it in 2 weeks!!! ...

Elbow Surgery

January 9, 2013
Well for a while now, and by a while I mean almost a year and a half, I've been having some pain in my right elbow. I finally have a diagnosis, elbow synovial plica, which is just a build up of tissue. It is getting caught between my elbow joints and is / has been causing me a great deal of pain. Tomorrow at 10am I will be having surgery to remove it....it's minor and out-patient so the recovery is short ( about 4 weeks) which shouldn't set me back too far and to be honest I probably need the...

I'm A Slacker! & Happy Holidays!

December 19, 2012
Dang! I can't believe I've let this blog slip. I've been extremely busy and to be honest haven't even thought about writing. Which I should b/c this is an outlet for me to release my thoughts, feelings, and what not. The holidays are coming up and to be honest I miss my family and want to see them but I hate traveling....only b/c it messes with my routine and I have to do so much planning for food and training. At least I'll get to spend some much needed time with my family and I'll get to se...

Time Flies & Fitness Amateur of the Week

November 25, 2012
Where did the time go???  I haven't written on here in almost a month and I had hoped to start writing a blog at least once a week. Ugh! Things have been crazy and then the holidays slowly crept up on me. I am really going to try to start putting these blogs out once a week, my time has just been limited lately and it has seemed to fly by. In other news I do have something good to report and I am extremely excited about it. I am the fitness amateur of the week on bodybuilding.com. Of course I...

Stupid Elbow :(

October 30, 2012
So for the past year I've had a nagging pain in my elbow.....lovely tennis elbow! I haven't really taken any action on it until recently. The pain has gotten so bad that I can't even fall asleep b/c of the nagging it's causing. I went and had my first cortisone shot in it last Friday....OMG I was not expecting the aftermath of that. It swelled and hurt so bad, I guess I was just thinking the shot would make it better in a few hours, although it is better now. I'm going this Friday to have an ...

Where Did The Time Go

October 16, 2012
WOW! I hadn't realized how long it's been since I wrote a blog. I was trying to write at least one a week but somehow the time just got away from me. I feel like October has been a busy month and in a way it has. Things at work have picked up quite a bit and I am leading new processing being put in place. Not to mention I'm kicking some serious ass in the gym and honestly, I'm not being dramatic when I say that. I am really putting my all into this off-season diet and training. I know to comp...

Off-Season Week 6

September 30, 2012
Today is Sunday and it's the beginning of week six of my off-season diet and training. Things have been going well, I am gaining strength and I believe muscle too. How much muscle? I'm not really sure but I can see my body changing every week and have put on 10 pounds since my last competition. I'Il admit I haven't been as vigilante with my nutrition as I should be. NOT that I've been off track. I do get three cheat meals per week and I try to make those as healthy as possible, but I'll have ...
