I get a ton of comments/messages, questions etc so instead of giving the same repetitive answers I decided to put them all in here which should pretty much cover it!
Here goes nothing....
Q: What do you do for cardio?
A: Right now, I'm doing 20min cardio sessions as per my coaches orders. The key to only doing shorter sessions is that I can keep them intense. I do hills/intervals on the highest setting of the step mill (unless someone is using it then my heart rate is increased cause I'm pissed LOL!). I hate doing cardio, so if Imma do it, Imma get more bang for my buck if you will. No strolling through the park on the treadmill here, I'm dripping sweat and putting a hurting on my lungs!
Q: What is your favorite supplement?
A: Obviously, throughout the year this varies, but right now (7.5wks out) I am alllllllll about my fat burners! Imma stim junky and Champion Nutrition's Thermo Gold is my crack :) I pop 2 first thing in the morning and then another mid afternoon. A close second is Champion Nutrition's Pure Whey (Cookies & Cream or Chocolate PB)..mixed with my oats or greek yogurt is a yummy way to fancy up my food lol
Q: How are you feeling?
A: Oh boy is that a loaded question. I get asked this at least once a day and depending when you ask, my answer will vary LOL! Overall, I'm feeling pretty good. My energy is best early in the day, which makes my evening cardio session a little blah but I'm getting it done. As the weeks tick by and I drop weight/body fat, my strength has begun to drop as well. Right now, I'm not looking to smash any PR's..I'm not fueled for it so the oooph isn't there. By the end of my day, I'm definitely ready to crash and even though I am typically a lazy person, it's at another level right now. If it's not prep or work related, I've got ZERO interest in moving. And, yeah..I'm hungry...like tummy growling huuungry!
Q: Have you put a routine together?
A: EEEEK! That about sums it up, right?!?! No, I have not even begun to tackle the routine but I NEED to! I have narrowed my song list down to the final 2 so hopefully as I settle on the ONE, a routine will start coming together. In addition to my posing, this shit's gotta get done so ummmm...hopefully, I'll have more on that later :/
Q: How do you keep your diet exciting?
A: Ok, it's food..It's not "exciting" LOL! I'm a lazy chick, I hate to cook and like to keep it as simple as humanly possible. Staples of egg whites, oats, chicken, salads and greek yogurt are my go-tos. As far as exciting goes, I use cajun seasoning for my chicken/salads, mix my hard boiled egg whites with spicy mustard and use cinnamon and sugar free syrup in my oats. My favorite meal of the day is probably greek yogurt mixed with whey and chocolate walden farms syrup..YUMMY!
Q: How do you deal with people who don't support your goals?
A: Easy, I don't! I know, that sounds harsh lol but you don't have to "understand" what I do or why I do it to be supportive. If you love me, then you will respect and support me. It's pretty simple really...I surround myself with positive people. I'm perfectly capable of beating myself down, so there is no room in my life for those who try to drag me down or hold me back. There are so many people in this world who don't have a passion for anything, I have been fortunate to find mine in the gym..People who want to be in my life will support what brings me happiness and if they don't, it's their loss really cause Imma keep doing me!
Q:How do you stay so focused and motivated?
A: Oh if I knew, I would bottle that shit up and be rich! There is a switch inside of me that just flips when it comes to training and contest prep. It's like, I circle the show date on the calendar and it's auto pilot. I honestly, wish I knew how I do it, I'd utilize it in other areas of my life and maybe I'd actually have my shit together ;)
Q: Why don't you start a fan page?
A: To be totally honesty, why the hell would I have one?!? I don't see the purpose of having one. Unless I were a coach, trainer or something along those lines I don't see the need for having a separate page. A lot of times people who have multiple pages (unless for business purposes) it just ends up as more "look at me" redundant posts..One FB page is plenty for me.
Q: What is your best lift?
A: While training over the off season as well as at the beginning of prep, I hit a few PR's 270 Squat, 315 Deadlift, 115 Military press and 175 bench were my single rep highlights.
Q: Are you craving anything?
A: When am I not craving anything is a better question! Overall, I'm starting to get "hungry" yes..but a specific craving like "Oh, I want pasta" not really..Do I want food? Of course! I'd fuck up some dessert right about now LOL! I'm cruising the food porn now and then but I'm not groping and smelling shit at the food store or bakery....yet ;-) Seriously, sure I would LOVE to live off of ice cream, cookies and cereal but I can honestly say I am not "craving" any one thing in particular, more like, I'm hungry and just want FOOD!
Q:When are you doing a PL meet?
A: This is a VERY common question I am asked and yes, it's on my bucket list..something I WILL do at some point but now I am focused on bodybuilding. I had hoped to do a meet in the fall last year but life came along and pissed all over that idea. I hit some great PR's while in my off season, which came to a halt as I got deeper into prep. After my show I will evaluate what my next step will be on the physique stage and then decided where PL fits in. My love and my passion is BB, that will always come first but at least once, I will take it to the platform but only time will tell when that will be.
Q: Stats?
A: Pretty much anytime you post a pic, someone is going to ask your stats lol Since, I'm prepping it's changing all the time..YAY! I am currently 7.5wks out, hanging around 142lbs and I'm 5'4". And can I just say, I love the fact that this sport is the only arena where people will ask how much you weigh and it's a perfectly acceptable question.
Q: What forums are you on? Fave FB pages etc?
A: I'm not much for forums anymore, with FB you can pretty much keep up with anyone and anything. I do have a training journal on RX Muscle. Their RXGirl forums have been a huge wealth of information. Aside from that, I follow a few FB pages and blogs...
Here are the links to my favorites, check them out, "like" them and follow along:
