NPC FIGURE COMPETITION RECAP April 2015- Pittsburgh, PA

MY NPC FIGURE COMPETITION JOURNEY!

Lets start by saying this prepping is serious!! Lol... As someone who has always struggled with emotional eating and binge eating, putting myself in this position was definitely something I had to work at every day!

I trained for this show for about 14 weeks... More like 7 consistently though! I know I was not as strict this time around, but for how I came out at the end, I'm pretty proud! I was not going for 1st for sure, nor did I deserve it for how many times I fell off track with my nutrition! Needless to say, this momma came out in 2nd in Open Figure, and I know what I need to work on!

This was 1 week out... starting to cut and lean out.  The last 3 weeks are the most critical and Im pretty sure I kicked butt those last 3 weeks which is what saved me! 

Ok... You may be wondering.. what the heck am I doing here?!? LOL.. This is one of my magical ways of trying to get rid of that extra water weight at the end! For figure competitions, you want to be as lean as possible, also cutting out your water from underneath your skin so you look leaner your vascularity shows.  Cutting out water around woman's butt and thighs are probably the hardest (at least for most of us!).  So I wrap in plastic wrap, then ACE bandage so it removes all the water from on top of your first layer of skin. Just make sure you don't have to go to the bathroom once you wrap yourself LOL.. I totally messed that up on day 1 of wrapping!! HEHE I did this for 5 days up until the day before my show.

PREPPING FOR SHOW DAY!

Since my show was on Easter weekend, I actually had to pack early because we went home to visit both sides of the family starting Wednesday. So I did my last minute shopping, getting my necessities, along with food prepping so I had everything I needed up until my show! Thats a lot of meals!!

Some necessities:

Hairspray, make-up, gummy bears (take 10 right before I go on stage to pump me up), bands (to do a few upper body workouts to pump me up), Suit, Heels, sewing kit (in case I break lol... totally possible to happen and that would NOT be good with how small the suit is to begin with),  jewelry,  distilled water, loose fitting clothes (robe to cover up before show), Bikini Bite (glue to hold your suit on you),   Hot Spot (to help with vasodilation before show), Sheen spray (to make you shine on stage), flip-flops, and YOUR FAVORITE TREAT FOR AFTER!! Yes, I got my Oreos!! LOL- I mean come on... who doesn't love Reese Cups and Oreos put together?!?! That is like heaven in a bag!!!

Here is some of my food prepping to take with my for the last 4 days up until my show! I had broiled some chicken, and this show, I was able to eat Filet Mignon Starting Friday evening and then Saturday morning and right after pre-judging! That was seriously like a cheat meal!!

I also had TONS of green beans, asparagus, sweet potato when I start carb loading again (I increase my carbs as I cut my water back), fresh Tilapia of course, almonds, and oatmeal!

Yes, I guess you can see I do have a little OCD in me, but I had to make sure I had every meal there for each day.. Nutrition is EXTREMELY important and you cannot go off any meal at the end! So yes, I have the date and which meal is there! :)-

If you do not have an ISO-BAG, I;m pretty sure you will fall in love  once you get it!! I  fit so much food in that bad boy!! It is my food savior!!

Getting pretty excited, 2 days before my show, I pampered myself a little with getting my nails and toes done!! Yes, I put dumb bells on my nails lol!! I'm creative aren't I?!?! :)-

Friday was here.... Evening time was getting a little stressed, but exciting at the same time! I arrived at my hotel, got my spray tan, and then I lay down and put my feet up (well try)... I enjoyed my first round of Filet and sweet potato with green beans!! Seriously, I felt like I was not suppose to have that since all I have been eating was tilapia and greens the whole time!! 

After I got my spray tan, I was more excited, but theres not much to do since you have to wear very loose clothing so it doesn't run onto anything. Plus as tired and weak as you are, you really don't want to do anything anyways!!  As I am so excited to see my abs come out, my hubby thinks its a great idea to dig into my Oreos in the evening (my most difficult time not to cave) and eat them RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!! hehe ok I allowed him because at this point, there was NO way I was losing what I worked for and I knew soon enough I would get to eat them too!! 

YAY FOR SHOW DAY!!! Its FINALLY HERE!!! Ok, now the fun and excitement begins!!

Since this is a smaller show, pre-juding was not until noon, so I got my hair and makeup done at 9 am by Jameson Leigh who owns The Powder Room- She is a friend of a friend and went to school in New York where she obviously learned from the best!!! She did an AMAZING job and I am honestly so darn picky, I contemplate EVERY time having someone else do my hair and make up because I end up fixing it myself EEKK!! Needless to say, I did NOT touch anything  because it was PERFECT!!! 

If you would like to find Jameson out of Pittsburgh, PA and have her do any work for you (competition, or any event), CLICK HERE FOR HER LINK!

My new coach Adriane Deithorn, along with her sister-in-law Marne who also was in open Figure with me! This woman is absolutely AMAZING, along with her story!! She was one of my biggest inspirations, especially after hearing this woman has lost 200 POUNDS and was able to fulfill a huge goal of hers to compete in a Figure Competition!! Seriously, she blew me away with her story and her transformation!!!

Ok so I like taking selfies right before the show!! But this also helps me see what I can work on for my next show!!! I'm really excited to build a little more muscle, especially in my butt and legs and shoulders!!! I think that will make a huge difference as I go into bigger shows!!

 Left- My sister Desiree, one of my biggest supporters!! Love her so much and she hasn't missed a show yet!! She travels everywhere just to cheer me on, along with my 7 year old nephew!!!
Right- Adriane (my coach) and I who helped me so much the last 2 weeks until my show!! She is one person who gave me my motivation to even follow through with my show and told me what to do to fix what I needed!

Nothing like running into your high-school cheerleading coach at your show!! HEHE!! Actually her daughter Bria who I met when she was just a tiny little girl, was doing Bikini as I was doing Figure! Small world!! She rocked it by the way!!

Again, all my biggest supporters and fans who came to cheer me on!!! My moment was on stage at finals just hearing my boys saying "Hi Mommy!!" I totally heard those little voices and it made me want to break down in tears, but I held it together as much as I could lol!!

Hubs and I! I was so excited that he looked so proud of me!!  I know some men would not allow their wives to do it (Not sure I just hear that all the time), but he was there to support me the whole time!

Special thanks to Dana L. one of my coaches on my team Forever FIT who came out to watch my finals show!! That seriously meant so much girl!!!! Couldn't be thankful enough for the amazing friends and family I have who support me through these important times!!

 AND SHOW TIME!! Just a little recap on FINALS!

2nd PLACE IT IS!!!! I was proud of that! I know what I need to do to win, and I know I need to continue working on that control with nutrition!! 

One thing I am going to say that I was a little discouraged with NPC is as the winner came up and told me congrats that even her husband said I got 1st, I find after the show, her coach is a judge?!??! Is this even allowed?? Obviously it is and politics SUCKS!! lol!! It honestly makes me want to compete in a different organization, but at the same time, if I would get myself to a place where it wasn't such a close call, I wouldn't have to worry about that! So my goal, kick major butt and easily win 1st! 

BTW, the winner was extremely sweet and worked her butt off for first so to me she did deserve it!! 

I just do not believe a coach should be able to be a judge or have any type of working relationship with the contestants if they are judging... ok RANT OVER!! Lol!

Moving on to my first treat I had the next morning on Easter.... My post workout, CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SHAKEOLOGY Ice-Cream!!! Oh it felt good to have this!! I have been addicted to my Shakeology now for 2 years, and its not so important about the calories, carbs, and fat that I am intaking as it is to get my dense nutrition and Super-foods to fuel my body!

It is hard to find a meal that contains 70 + natural ingredients and superfoods, your pre and probiotics, digestive enzymes, amino acids, and more.. but yes, Shakeology is one of my FAVORITE meals I eat daily!! It is my replacement for Ice-cream since that is one of my weaknesses!! Now I can officially say, I don't crave sweets anymore!!

Thank you all so much for following my journey, and cheering me on during this period!! I definitely had a lot of break downs, but I turned them into breakthroughs... all because I did NOT give up!! There were so many times I wanted to give up... especially the 3 times my previous trainer heard I binged on food and told me to get out of the show that I wont even place.  Then literally, walked away from me.. A woman can only handle that so much and I am so so thankful I have found the people I have to help me especially during my tough times! I am so beyond excited to start working back at improving myself to continue my journey as a Figure Competitor!

Exclusive Elite Training for New Fitness Coaches- Leaders in the Making

As a nurse, mommy of 2 boys, wife, and health and fitness coach, I can say my plate is definitely full, but it is a good full!! I feel like I am reaching my goals in life, enjoying my family, and since I started my coaching journey and working from home, I've been able to spend more time with my kids and haven't missed any events, holidays, or special moments with them! As a nurse or someone who works swing shift, weekends, every other holiday, you would know how difficult it is to have a sleep schedule, let alone try to have a good routine with your family and attend all your children's activities! For the first time in my life, I finally am able to say I work from home and make my own schedule without needing to request off or call off when something comes up! 

HOW DID I GET TO THIS SPOT IN MY LIFE?
I started my fitness journey as a challenger in a support group/challenge group that was 90 days long and used the home fitness program INSANITY and incorporated Beachbody's health shake meal replacement SHAKEOLOGY along with clean eating into my new regimen.  I was ready to reach my health and fitness goals and between having the support, motivation, and accountability with tips, recipes, and the program, I was reaching goals I never thought I could both physically and mentally!  For the first time, even after 2 kids, I was ok to look in the mirror and did not have to try on 10 outfits before finding one I was comfortable in.

Before I knew it, I was confident, experienced with nutrition and how to eat clean (I've also had nutrition classes and was a personal trainer at one time), and felt I could pay it forward to others who struggled with their weight or wanted to lose those last 10 pounds that were't budging.  I felt the challenge groups were so beneficial to my success and it was time for me to continue my own journey, but also start helping others on their journey as well!

1 YEAR LATER INTO MY BEACH BODY CAREER:
As I continued my fitness journey and helping others in ending the trend of obesity, I was also working part time as a nurse.  I realized my passion was bigger than what I imagined it would be.. As I was able to help change lives, I found myself more motivated to continue helping more and more people! At the same time, I was earning financial freedom for my family! My 16,000$ credit card was paid off, my Christmas for my family was paid for, and I was able to go part time as a nurse!
I reached 5 star (high rank in the company) and became ELITE qualified for 2013 (top 1% of the company).

2 YRS LATER and I took my husband on a cruise (totally paid in full),  a trip to Vegas for our biggest training of the year, and a trip to Scottsdale, AZ  for leadership which only 200 coaches out of over 200,000 attended all again PAID IN FULL! I have grown an amazing team of leaders who are so passionate and driven and I love that I can say they are like my extended family! 
As I just reached my 2 year mark this month, I also have been able to pay off my car, finish our basement, but also quit my nursing job all together! I have helped enough people both physically and financially that I have made 6 Figure Income a year just in over a year of building my new career as a Beachbody Coach and Entrepreneur.  
I also have reached a huge goal of becoming an NPC figure competitor! This is just extra motivation to keep me on track with my fitness goals, but be experienced to help others in different ways according to their goals and level of fitness!

I never thought in a million years would I be able to own my own business, let alone have a successful business to where I can work from home and enjoy waking up every day loving what I do and being excited to work!

YOUR TURN: 
Now I am ready to pay it forward more! I want to help more people find physical and financial success! 

What qualities am I looking for in a coach on my team?
I am looking for people who are passionate about health and fitness, maybe still on their own fitness journey (you do not have to be at your goal weight, although you can be), love helping people, compassionate, motivating, hard working, dedicated, committed, friendly, fun, outgoing,  and honest! 

You do NOT have to.....
Be at your fitness goals, have background in health and fitness, be experienced with social media.  You do not have to be a personal trainer or nutritionist (although you can be), you do not have to work full time to be successful in this business!

Starting December 8th, my success partners and I are recruiting 30 goal diggers and starting an Elite Training called #Emerging Leaders in the making, 60 Days to Leadership! This program is for anyone who is willing to commit to learning the in's and out's of what Beachbody and growing a successful business is all about.  We will provide you with tips, tools, and skills to utilize and become the CEO of your own business.  We have weekly calls and you will hear from not only corporate, but also the top coaches of the entire company! If you want to reach high goals, this is where you will find it... Trainings from top coaches, support, and accountability to keep you right on track of your goals!

If you are ready to commit to becoming a top health and fitness coach, please fill out the application below and also find me on Facebook so I can continue helping you reach your goals to success!!

Another New Beginning To My Fitness Journey- BODY BEAST

Tomorrow will start a new beginning for me and my fitness journey.  Since having my first figure competition, I totally fell off track this week, which I guess was to be expected, but Im ready to jump back on and go all in! I felt so amazing when I was strict with my clean eating and working out daily (twice a day at that).  
Since I will be continuing my journey competing in figure shows, I want to do something a little different and show that it is totally possible to compete without having to spend your life at the gym! I know it was very difficult for me with my 2 boys and having to take them at certain times and putting them in the day care (which they enjoyed but not always available).  It also wasted a lot of time driving back and forth- like a total 30 minute workout just going back and forth to the gym.   
I am not knocking the gym by any means because I love going there and its like a break for me, but i know its just not always feasible for us mommys and daddys who have little ones at home!  
So I am starting a 90 day program called BODY BEAST which is a program that will help you improve your physique whether you are looking to bulk, or have fat to lose and build muscle and get more defined! This program includes weights that you can increase in as you improve and get stronger! 

WHAT IS BODY BEAST?
Body Beast includes 12 workouts (and 3 optional workouts) and an in depth nutrition plan to follow to help you get the most of your results!

What types of exercises are involved?
You will do Super Sets, Single Sets, Giant Sets, Progressive Sets, Drop Sets, Tempo Sets, and more to exhaust the muscle and recruit more muscle fiber.   

What kind of results can you expect?
Trevor is a coach on my team Forever FIT and started his journey also as a coach!  He has totally transformed his body and has also won 500$ from Beachbody by his transformation!

As for me, yes I am a female and this program is for both men and women... I am excited to share my journey from the women's perspective and give a great transformation to share with you all! 

I will be doing the lean phase of beast, whereas the bulking is more for adding extra mass.  I want to build muscle, but also lean out and get ripped!! 

Here is my meal plan for week 1 of Body Beast

Im not sure if anyone else is like me, but I totally ate everything I could before I start this journey lol... I think its a mental thing but I was with my Best Friend and fellow coach Kaileigh so we went at it together during my visit to see her in Jersey... This is how it turned out:

Yup, it turned out like this! I swear I ate the ENTIRE thing of Peanut Butter oreos within 24 hours... Im bloated, I got sick, why do I do this to myself before starting something amazing I dunno, but the damage is done and Im ready to rock lol!!

So Kaileigh and I did our meal prep together before church and got each other motivated! Nothing better than having an accountability partner doing this with you! The more motivation, the better chance you have of staying on track and succeeding!! 

NEW RECIPE!!

**CHOCOLATE PB PROTEIN PANCAKES** (4 pancakes is 1 serving)

Ingredients:

1/2 cup oatmeal

Grocery Shop Healthy and On A Budget!

So you hear so often, people do not want to eat healthy because its expensive right?! Did you know if you portion control and use a few of these tips I am about to give you, you can actually SAVE 50$ or more at the grocery store per month?

To me, if you can find a way to eat out and eat fast food, you can make a way to eat healthy! I know its not easy to fight cravings and those temptations that surround us on a DAILY basis, but its time to dig deep at your goals and think about what truly makes you happy at the end of the day! 

Does eating your unhealthy temptations make you happy?? Maybe temporary, but you know that goes away as soon as you swallow your food! The feeling of success and fueling your body with healthy food lasts so much longer! Its just getting into the habit that is tough...

TIPS TO STAY ON TRACK AND SAVE $$$$

1. PORTION CONTROL- If you are eating the correct portion, you are most likely eating half of what you usually do.  No need to eat 2 and 3 servings at a time... small, frequent meals will keep your metabolism going strong throughout the day!

2. STICK WITH WHATS ON YOUR LIST- At least 10% of the groceries in our cart at the end of our shopping trip comes from adding additional food that is NOT even on your list, nor necessary.. extra snacks and so on! 

3. COMMIT to only one trip every 1 or 2 weeks- I know this is hard... we want to make something different and don't have all the ingredients, so we tend to make that extra trip and end up spending another 50$ that wasn't even needed... Commit to sticking with what you have at home... even if you want something different, use the ingredients you have at home and make something different... Save that meal for when you make your next trip! I promise you, it will save you TONS!

4. SKIP the isles that has nothing on your list- save yourself time and money and do not even go down the isles that you do need to... the candy isle, chips and soda isle.... you know they are only going to cause you heart ache at the end of the day when you are mad you gave into temptation! Start disciplining yourself now and it will get easier to pass up sooner!

5. NEVER GO SHOPPING HUNGRY! If you go shopping with a full belly, you are less likely to give in and put those extra items in your cart! 

HOW CAN YOU STAY MOTIVATED TO FIGHT THOSE TEMPTATIONS?? 

Join a support group/challenge group! 

I run 60 day challenge groups on a closed group on Facebook on a monthly basis to help people get to that next level in their healthy lifestyle that they are having trouble doing on their own...

And yes, its ok to need help! Even coaches need coaches to guide and motivate them! I am a prime example! 

I have reached my ultimate health and fitness goals by using different Beachbody programs, clean eating, and drinking SHAKEOLOGY on a daily basis to help with my nutrition.

Nutrition being 80% of your weight loss, it is important to understand you cannot give 80% and then fall off on the weekends.. That will NOT get you to your goals.... What will get you to your ultimate goals is giving 100% commitment and dedication every day! 

I do say 1 off meal (NOT DAY) is good to trick your body a little bit! Keep in mind, 1 meal a week, not weekend or entire day! And you know what? If you feel you are falling off, jump back on! Do NOT feel if you messed up, you might as well mess up the rest of the day and start again tomorrow! I hear it ALL THE TIME!! Your tomorrow is today!! If you keep starting over, you will stay in the same place! Now, I am not saying give up either! 

Every day, think about small successes you have made for that day! Do not always look at your failures or you will set yourself up for failure!  Also, try not to look to far ahead at how far you have to go to reach your goal or you will feel defeated and there is a great possibility of quitting. Quitters never WIN!

Make a promise to yourself to stay POSITIVE EVERY DAY!

HOW?!?

Wake up and the first thing you tell yourself is "I will succeed today", "I will reach my goals today"... It may sound silly, but you know what?? You will do what you tell yourself you are going to do! So if you start your day positive and motivating, it will end that way!

Make a commitment to write down 1 success or victory that  you had during your day! Whether its skipping a desert, doing your workout when you were going to sleep in, get all your water in, no caffeine or soda, no smoking, no drinking, etc... whatever it may be, its time to reward yourself and be proud of every accomplishment along the way! 

If you can do this daily, your small successes will turn into huge successes!

NPC Figure Competition 7 weeks out!

7 WEEKS UNTIL MY FIRST NPC FIGURE COMPETITION!

When people say you get moody, emotional, and feel like you don't even live in your own body for the last few weeks of your show, did they mean starting 8 weeks out?! I cannot believe how different I feel! I am not sleeping, I dream like 5 dreams a night lol, and am more emotional than when I was pregnant! 

I give competitors so much credit for being able to do these shows on a regular basis! Your body goes through so many changes its unreal! Its one of those things where you just have to experience it to understand what I mean.... On another note, this has definitely been rewarding and worth it! I never thought I would be able to stick with something so strict and have this much will power and dedication.  Prepping for a show gives you this huge sense of accomplishment that is just amazing!! 

This weekend, I did order all my stuff I need for my show! I got my suit ordered and is being made right now, I ordered my cute robe, my jewelry which came in today, and also my heels! EEEEEK this is seriously so exciting!! Reality is officially hitting!!

Drinking my SHAKEOLOGY while on the road! Setting myself up for success!

I traveled home to my moms this weekend and am so proud of how dedicated I have been!! Its crazy how you don't think you can do something until you do it! It really changes how you believe in yourself!

Every morning I got up at 5 am to do my cardio and get a little work done!

 I'm not going to lie, I was full of energy over the weekend.... but its slowly fading away!! I am pretty sure I wouldn't have made it without my E&E pre workout formula!

 Not sure what anyone else does on the weekends, but I was partying at the gym, then grilling at night lol!! It feels good to be good!! I feel great, satisfied... and although I am not doing the things many others do on a Saturday night, I know when Im on stage, I will not regret any minute spent prepping for this show!!  Its all about setting yourself up for success!! 

Totally needed a rice cake or 2 for energy before hitting up the gym at night!

My yummy chicken and veggies I have had every day!! I don't think I would ever get sick of eating this!!

One thing I got the opportunity to do this weekend was Sunday, there was a bodybuilding show by my moms house that was right about the same level as what I am doing... It was NPC and a smaller show, so it really helped me see what I am suppose to look like, but more importantly, see them pose up close so I can nail that part down.. Posing is probably the most difficult thing for me right now and I just still shake like crazy!

My boys and I at the Bodybuilding show!! They were so good while mommy got to relax and watch how the posing goes so I can be prepped and ready!!
