These foods make dieting easy!!!

Ok, so my new favorite foods are......(drumroll please!)

Honey Chunky SoyNut Butter (IM Healthy Brand)

AND

Carrot Cake Carbmaster Yogurt to be found at Kroger: 9g of protein, 4 carbs, 1.5 g of fat. SO yummy! They also have vanilla chai flavor, strawberry colada, and many more.

The divisions I compete in...

Figure competitions in the WNBF (World Natural Bodybuilding Federation) are judged based on one round of prejudging, where competitors will be compared while wearing a two-piece swimsuit and high-heel shoes. Comparisons will be made in the standard quarter-turns of the competitors. Judging will reward toned muscularity, relative leanness, overall symmetry, facial beauty (makeup, hair, etc.), stage presence, poise, elegance and an overall fit look. There is no fitness demonstration, and this is not a bodybuilding competition (there are no mandatory "poses" other than the quarter-turns).
The Ms. Fit Body judges the competitors based on their physical symmetry (in the quarter-turns), facial beauty, grooming (makeup, hair), costume, stage presence, muscle tone and shape (in the five poses) and overall fit look.
This is not a hardcore bodybuilding competition, but it is also not a swimwear contest. The desired look is for muscletone, symmetrical shape, beauty and the appearance ofhealth and fitness.Suit and heels are also worn for this category.

Some inspiration to get me through the hard days.....

For every disciplined effort, there is a multiple reward!

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Obsessed is what the lazy called the determined.

The more I am told NO, the harder I go! ~Ava Cowan (and now it's true for me, too!)

Train hard. Expect results. (not sure who said it but I stole it from my friend, Chris)

“Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragement, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak”

“There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, [no person] that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.”

What it's all about!

This blog initially started out as a way for me to record my journey towards a figure competition. Since then, however, my whole lifestyle has changed. Therefore, my blog is taking a different approach. I will share about my journey towards HEALTH. That will include competitions, yes, but it's so much more. Varied workouts, a well balanced diet, mental health, etc. A lot of what I post on here will be wisdom I have gleamed from others, so I will always be sure to give credit where credit is due and point you towards those who have made this journey possible for me.
