I've always been interested in training for something: running races, triathalons & marathons. The tranisition to physique competition was just the next step.
Why I Love It:
It feels great to accomplish something each time- more reps or more weight from the last workout.
How I Stay Motivated:
BB Accomplishments:
1st INBF Southern Natural
2nd NPC Battle at the River
Maintain a lean healthy physique while building lean body mass for next year.
Goal (Long):
Hoping to hit the Jr. Nationals next year. I plan to maintain a healthy diet in order to build more lean body mass. Here is where the real journey begins- beginning to gain while keeping a fit physique. I'll make healthy choices mostly and smart treats infrequently.
It's been 5wks since I fell and cracked my tailbone. 5wks of a few arm workouts and whimpy cardio. Each time I would go to the gym-my back muscles would spasm and tell me NO MORE! So I began getting massages and using heat to relax my back muscles so I could function. It has been a...
Hi! Thanks for the comment.
How are your training going?
What do you do off season (in terms of workouts and diet)?
I'm a month away from marathon and am so excited! (not that I'm ready...)
Hope you're doing great.
Hi Girly...what a great photo! Hope you have had a good summer and that your off season is going well and as planned. I am still at it, of course. Taking lots of road trips so the food has been somewhat challenging but I just keep the cooler full. I'm trying put on more muscle and still stay pretty lean. It has been challenging!
My next show is the Heart of Dixie in Mobile, AL. After this show I'm going to take several months to bulk up and focus on building mass. Less than 2 weeks and I can eat cookies and ice cream =) Keep up the hard work!
Hey Leslie...now worries...I don't log in everyday lately as life is pretty busy these days...so I appreciate catching up with you regularly when we can. I think the Bev GH has helped with my strength...not so much with bodyfat..but it's still early and I am taking just one 3x a day. I may try upping the dose. I will read up more on the multi-carn..I've tried the 2 types..regular and fumarate..so need to do a little research there. Thanks so much for your feedback.
I haven't picked a show yet. My weaknesses are too glaring right now. J told me he prepped two years (i have a poor memory maybe not accurate) before he stepped on stage.
I haven't selected a show yet..... I sort of gassed out a little. Maybe I'll pick one here in a little bit if I see my legs start to grow. Obviously, I can't come in looking like a Joe or a Jason my first show BUT I don't want to look like a slacker either. All the success of the other Natty Athletes certainly provides the "quit slacking" motivation.
Hope you treated yourself to a couple of good meals and a good massage!! Hey.. I bought the GH Factor. How did you take it. Right now I am doing one 30 min before breakfast and dinner and one before working out. Did you take the recommended 2 before each? More importantly, do you think it benefited strength or fat loss? Thanks for your input!

BTW...I can't get over your progress these last 2 comps...your pics look amazing! I am definitely cheering you on this weekend! Sending you my good energy. :0) Well...off to do legs today..my 1 off day was yesterday...and then headed to supermarket...running low on white potatoes!!
I haven't been bitten by the stage bug...maybe in the future but I would love to bodybuild if I did. I am a long way from there at this point!! I am still working hard at this and using Jason's diet too after signing up last year to do a complete 16 week program with him. I have so much more to go. Not sure if you saw my old beginning pics...I was a mess!
Hi Leslie....you look amazing!! I'm one of Jason's Natty girls too from Bev forum I haven't been on there in a whil though just crazy busy with work!! So I have to chechk in again. :0) JTheo and Steph are the best!
Go Leslie!!!
