I'm home for now, but flying out again in three days!
WOW! I had the most amazing weekend! I flew in late last night from a quick weekend trip to visit with my trainer. In a nutshell, we 'plotted the course' for my last 10 weeks of pre-contest prep..I am so excited! I'm feeling pretty darn good these days and my weekend with my trainer made me feel even better! Not only am I totally on track for this show, I seem to be ahead of schedule so..the next 10 weeks will be stress free and will most likely pass by easily. As you may know, I'm training with IFBB pro Helen Bouchard this year..she has been incredible to work with...she is remarkably inspiring, encouraging, and extremely supportive! I could not ask for a better trainer! She has taught me many new things about training, diet etc. and has given me the guidance to transform my physique. She has a wealth of knowledge and tons of experience. She has even shown me countless new ways to prepare my diet food so that it tastes like cheat food...who needs cheat food when you can make 'diet' food taste even better?
While in Edmonton, we attended a bodybuilding competition which was fun to watch...Helen is the new head judge in Alberta so it was fascinating to see her in action! On Sunday, my pal Nicole Ball came in to town to join us for the day to train and just hang out, we had so much FUN!
Now that I'm home, I'm already preparing to head out of town again. I'll be flying out on Thursday morning...upon my arrival home,I'll have 2 weeks of 'down time' before I fly out to Edmonton to see Helen again. My travel schedule has made life a little hectic, but it's nothing I can't handle.... I'm in a pretty positive place mentally these days....I'll make the most of anything that comes my way.
The first few weeks of my prep were extremely challenging, but now that I'm past the half way point, I can look back and see that it wasn't so difficult after all..as for the next 9 weeks and 5 days ahead....in a 'blink' they'll be over so, I plan to enjoy the rest of my prep.
Backtracking to the weekend before this past one....as you'll recall, I was away to judge a competition in FSJ....the show was great with a record number of competitors who entered...there were some very high calibre novice athletes with quality physiques...I was empressed! The trip went very smoothly and I look forward to going back again next year :)The most interesting part was that the woman who won the women's Figure overall lives in the same city I do and even trains in my gym yet I have never seen her before in my life....what a surprise! Apparently she and I keep two totally different schedules..our paths have somehow never managed to cross until we met at the show....and then to make it a little more odd,she's trained by Desiree Ellis, a good friend of mine.
A pic of me with the Overall Figure winner
and of course..a pic of Des & I with her client :)
I'm off to cook some food...have a great day!
