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!

12 weeks out ramble

actually 11 wks and 5 days,but whose counting?

the past 2 weeks in prep have been good-nutrition is good,workouts have been good,and until recently there have been no bumps in the road.



the 3 things making the road slightly bumpy?

A)my girls are sick AGAIN!!!!!!! lil M has another double ear infection with bronchitis,and A has another respiratory infection......

B) i tweaked my left shoulder to the point of pain with lateral movement. tis best to avoid shoulder workouts for at least a week.....

C) i am having a hard time getting enough water in and find myself drinking more diet coke than ever.

so what do i plan to do about the bumps in the road?
A) since i cant take the girls to the gym with me for at least a week,i need to go to the gym either really early,or after hubs gets home from work..

B) do rehab at home. i have a TENS unit,i have therabands,i know what i need to do in order to get better. better to rest now than push through an injury and then get worse closer to show day.

C) trying a gradual weaning process......

so thats whats going on here in my world--sleep deprivation and a bum shoulder!

hoping to get some decent cardio in soon. i may be exhausted,bu im still jonesing for my fix!

happy monday yall!

  1. Oh that stinks, I'm so sorry. I can't believe your poor kids are sick again. What about tubes? They help dont' they? Poor baby.

    How early would you have to workout? You could do it! Remember I had to go at 4am those two week? I actually got used to it and actually started to like the little routine. That is just the time my body likes going, in the morning. I'm not motivated to do much at night! Good luck though, you'll figure it out!!

  3. That's tough about your kiddos :( I hope they feel better.

    I had to wean myself off of Diet Dr. Pepper...that stuff is GOOD.

  5. I really like your attitude!

    Apart from the shoulder injury (and ive just touched some wood), you could have been writing my exact thoughts! Bumps and kinks .. I like how you have planned to get over yours :)
