My Journey to the Pro stage....after the fourth baby

The greatest tragedy of man is never realizing or reaching his full potential~"Dont TALK about it,BE about it!"











WELCOME to my blogspot! I am utilizing this space as a journal of sorts,where my workouts as well as random thoughts are posted....



Now that I have a few good Pro shows under my belt,I am in "off season" until 2013,due to the VERY unexpected news of my 4th child!! In the meantime, I will be keeping a journal of how a pro athlete reclaims her pre-baby body and juggles fitness and family. I am planning a Pro show just a few months after the baby arrives, as well as gearing up to hit new PR's for 5k's,half and full marathons! My ultimate goal is to simply get better with age....(and hopefully snag an IFBB pro card and break 19 min in a 5k in the process)so come follow me on my crazy journey to the Pro-Stage and Beyond... after a fourth child!!Feel free to leave any comments or advice!

  2. Great workout! I miss running. A lot. She has me doing a lot of walking on a steep incline and stair stepper. I understand why but I do miss running. I have a question though. If they say you lose lean muscle in your legs, why do figure athletes do so much running, sometimes twice a day? I'm confused by that!

  3. There's my cheetah!!! Nice workout sista!!
    I think you should do the tri. It's plenty of time to get prepped and it will keep you on trak for comp prepping too!!
