Much Needed Update!

It’s been so long since I have written a personal blog…I have shared a few things here and there but haven’t written an update on my prep so thought to really get myself motivated to write. It’s not always easy…to do so with prep, family, life and so on…but here it goes

Since my last post a lot of things have happened. Immediately after my hubby’s CBBF Nationals show which was held in Vancouver we had a phenomenal weekend …We truly enjoyed our city. We started our Sunday with the once a year guilty pleasure Krispy Kreme Doughnuts located in Delta, B.C....They are so good!!!! We really enjoyed them... We went to Granville Island in Vancouver and went through all the little shops. 

Granville Island, Vancouver B.C.

Enjoyed a few treats and just took a day off from training that weekend. We slept in all week….How glorious did that feel…Actually I can’t remember it’s been so long since then with my prep in full swing.

With so much excitement already happening post Nationals Andrew decided it was time to say goodbye to restaurant life.  Since becoming certified as personal trainer he has obtained a FT position with StaveNash Fitness World in Langley BC…

I must say I have never seen my man so happy. He’s so in his element. I am so proud of him for taking such a huge risk.

The following week we got a surprise of our life by getting a sponsorship. Not only Andrew but both of us are now sponsored athletes of Pure Force Nutrition which targets an even wider audience of its sister brand Advanced Genetics. Pure ForceNutrition includes not only bodybuilding and physique athletes, but also hockey players, wrestlers and power-lifters  We are very proud to represent this up and coming brand.

Please follow PureForce Nutrition on Twitter, Facebook and check out their product line.

Quickly after the Nationals came August 18^th the official day I started my prep for Sandra Whickam Fall Classic.

I had originally planned to prep for this show on my own with Andrew’s help since he’s now certified as we decided not to train with our trainers and kind of stand on our own two feet to see if this fitness lifestyle was for good or I would just stop....I knew Andrew was fully in but I doubted myself…at least that was the thought process at the time.  I felt I had done enough research about prep nutrition and knowing my body’s response mechanism from my previous prep, putting a plan for myself was pretty straight forward.

Not having a trainer was not the problem as I have a competitive edge and I love training….What I needed was a Coach and Andrew really needed to focus on building his business. He has been so supportive of my decisions and helping me get up every morning for my cardio....I wouldn't do it otherwise...ha ha...YES I would but either way thank you honey!

I decided to make a change and connected with someone new to the Competition Prep World. 

With all the changes that came so quickly I realize now that this lifestyle is 100% a part of my life. Staying fit is a priority and competing is something I am passionate about and YES maybe even a Pro Card in the future… Wouldn't that be wonderful!!!

Dream! Believe! And Good Things Will Happen!

I will write a blog post of this prep and share my wonderful experience as I feel it deserves a post of its own….and yes there may be some progress pictures…

Till then 

Thank you for reading
