Happy New Year

353392636_30c215ff3dHappy New Year Everyone! It’s that time of year, the holidays are officially over, and it’s time to buckle down again. Gyms will be full this month with those who make the resolution every year to “get in shape” and by the beginning of February the numbers have slowly decreased back to those who made it there every day last November. Everyone knows resolutions are never met because get in shape  or quit smoking… whatever it may be has no set destination.

So this year why not do something different? Set a goal for yourself. Share it with others. A time, a place, a date, a number.. whatever the details are write it down someplace in your calendar. Tell others that support you and go ahead and do it!!

This year my goal is to compete  [or at least train and successfully look like I’m going to compete] in a bikini fitness competition. I’ve always been in shape, I’ve always ate fairly well, and obviously I know what I’m doing… but competitive figure modeling is EXTREME. Many people have asked “Don’t you just work out a lot and  cut weight and body fat?” Yes! But how you do it is crazy… Cutting out dairy [including yogurt!!] and eating protein 7x a day, doing little to no cardio, and lifting lots of weight.. That all takes A LOT of dedication.

This is my new years goal..
