Recap since Kelowna Western Canadians and whats next!

It’s been a busy month. I can’t believe it has been over a month since my last blog….

Following Kelowna Western Canadians I trained really hard and ate a lot to prepare for my next show which was on June 9th Northern Classic in Fort St. John as I came in way to lean for the Kelowna show I wanted to work on looking a little fuller for FSJ….It didn’t really work to be honest but I did enter Open Class in Bikini instead of Masters Class which is 35+. It’s been a few weeks and the results were finally posted on the BCABBA website and I placed 8th in Open class compared to 6th in Kelowna. I am thrilled with the placing as it was tough competition and to enter with girls in their 20’s is intimidating to start…
I drove to Fort St. John with three other BodybyBrandt teammates, all bikini competitors Amy, Cordelaine and Rina…It was the best girls trip of my life….I have never laughed this much. Even thinking about it makes my cheeks and abs hurt…Yes I am laughing at loud…What happened in that car stays in the car…haha…Lots of laughs, some tears and lots of post competition cheats.
Since both shows I have done two photo shoots which were a lot of fun. First one was the day before the Kelowna show with Gus Mctavish Lake Okanagan and the second one with Pink Elephant Indoor shoot just last week before the BC Championships where my hubby competed.  I was able to volunteer at the show, support the athletes and Andrew in his journey to the Nationals…as he placed TOP 5 at the BC’s he is prepping for the next show right away…back to morning cardio, meal planning and double dates at the gym…lol

Here are some photos from the Kelowna shoot with Gus Mctavish





Andrew and I train together, so this means we do doubles together…I am not in prep until August where I am switching classes from Bikini to Figure but this is how we support our success and progress.
Train together, eat the same and which includes 6 am cardio 7 days a week. There are days where I am up at 5am ready for the day and some days I just want to roll over to his side of the bed and just sleep….
Since the shows…I have enjoyed some treats, sushi dates with girlfriends and great home cooked meals and most of all my daughters baking…I love her creations…she’s so good at baking and those scones are kinda unforgettable….Just thinking about it makes me want one.
Well that’s all for now. Thank you for reading and if you get a chance visit my facebook fitness page https://www.facebook.com/FitLifeJourney for clean recipes,  fitness tips and supplement reviews.
