My legs need so much work. Going to start running the bleachers and doing sprints.

Definition in left delts better than right, so going to continue with extra sets on right. I am pleased with progress in legs. Not a whole lot of definition right now, but overall conditioning is OK. I think when I am leaned out there will be enough muscle to actually flex (b/c we all know, FAT DON'T FLEX!).

A long way to go, but I'll get there.

Need to get a bigger back. I want a V-taper!!!

Little progress....but I can see a difference.

Looking good!

Abs starting to come in.

The pullovers are payiog off.

Fours weeks out from show. Posing getting better.

I'm still trying to perfect the side poses. Have to get rid of the lower pooch.

I really wish that I had more development in my lats. This is such a difficult pose. I really feel that if I had more development, the pose would look much nicer. Pull-ups, here I come!

Show Time! Thought I would add a few shots from the show. It was such an awesome experience and I had alot of fun.

If only my legs really were this long. It is amazing what those clear "Hooker Heels" can do for a girl.

Not too bad on the back pose. Could have used some glute/ham definition, but in time.

Look at those l-o-n-g legs! You go girl!!! (LOL) (I'm really only 5'3 1/2".)

I Won!!!

Top Five Figure 101 Division (1st time competitors) OCB Charm City Classic October 25, 2008

My "Problem Children"....the QUADS! I have been doing mad lunges, squats, extensions, etc. They better act right and make an appearance in my next show.

Side profile looking leaner. Just need to work on tucking my hips.

Eight weeks out from second competition. Have made some advancement in growth over past few months. Can't wait to see how it will all look when I lean out.

I had to have surgery to repair a hernia right before last show. I really hate this scar!

Five Weeks Out.... I drug my daughter out of bed for 6am pics before going to gym. she was absolutely thrilled.

Can definitely see a difference in leanness. Still have some cushioning to get rid of, though.

Making progress....abs are leaning out.

Left profile looking better. Too bad there is nothing uptop to balance things (LOL!)

Keep those hips tucked!!!

I am definitely going to work on perfecting my back pose. I absolutely will nail it on stage in May.

The Problem Children......I see you peeking. I'll be patient because I know that you are in there waiting to come out.

Six AM Mean Mug.....time to eat and hit the gym!

Put the suit back on to see how it fits now that I am close to competition weight. Think I'm going to add more stones to it.

Still trying to work on symmetry in my arms when posing.

Finally.....I'VE GOT QUADS! Two more weeks to keep leaning out. I'm getting excited!

Lat spread coming in. I will get this pose down before May 16th!

Stick that butt out!!! That has NEVER been a problem for me. Tryingto figure out where the best placement is for my hands/arms.

Yes, got that back pose! Now on to perfecting it!

Although I didn't place very well, I am happy with my conditioning. I can definitely see some improvement over my last competition.

I almost dont even want to post these pictures. It's hard to see myself with all the fat after being so lean just a few months ago. But if I want to get some size, its a part of the process.

So here we go again. I have been eating high carbs for past 2 months in hopes of putting on whatever muscle I can. Yes they were good, but look at the bootie now! Now its time to start the lean out process again for competition in November.

Looks like I have put a little mass on my back. Traps definitly have more size. What do you think?

I know the abs and quads are there....just have to be patient and wait for the fat to melt.

The V-taper is starting to come in, but I still have a long way to go before I will tight and lean.

Lost the little bit of ab definition that I was starting to see after I had 3 days of bad dieting with lots of simple carbs and fat. Back on track now, so hopefully things will be looking better by the wekend.

Lighting is bad, but I can see a bit more definition when compared to last pics 2 weeks ago. Still have a ways to go before the abs will pop, but I will get there.

The Back Pose.....what can I say, it's a work in progress. The bootie has to go....period. Back to the stairs, squats, and lunges I go.

Because of nerve compression in my C-Spine, my right shoulder is slightly flexed anteriorly. I've been working to strengthen my posterior delt, so hopefully in time the symmetry will get better in my back pose. Definitely going to spend some time with a posing coach before competing next year.

Left side Profile...not too bad. Lower tummy pouch will decrease with time, so I'm not too worried.
