I cannot believe I am only 2 weeks out from my figure competition. The time has really gone by fast!

I am happy to report I am at 6 percent body fat, and honestly – I feel great. I wonder if it’s because this is my third show and my second year competing- I know what to expect.

I get in the gym – which I always look forward in doing – and I am focused. I love to work out. I love to see the transformation in my body. And I have seriously transformed my body in the past 5 weeks.

I started taking different supplements under the suggestion of a friend. I said I would ‘try’ it out and see if there was any difference. This is what I was taking based on what my nutritionist suggested:

  • Glutamine
  • BCAA’s (branch chain amino acids)
  • Protein – powder form
  • No Xplode by BSN
  • Calcium
  • Magnesium
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E
  • Vitamin B complex
  • Potassium

I gave my friend the list and she returned telling me to take the following:

  • Muscle Fuel
  • Arginine Extreme
  • Muscle Strength
  • Catalyst
  • MSN Max3

I asked my nutritionist if he ever heard of AdvoCare and he told me they were a reputable company but that it was direct sales so I would have to go through a distibutor.

Like many other direct sales companies, you have to become a distributor to get a discount. I am just too frugal to pay full price for anything so I signed up once I took some of the samples and loved the difference in my workouts.

My results were immediate. In fact, I have been able to retain all my muscle and at 97 pounds, I have nearly 5 pounds of muscle more than my first shows and it’s obvious.

My shoulders have more size and although I am still lean and very defined, I am not skinny by any means. I look and feel strong, I feel beautiful.

I am now stage ready 2 weeks out from my show, so I am just enjoying the fact I have more energy than I ever have. I’m not hungry like I’ve been in my past contest preps. I feel a level of confidence I can’t say I have imagined I could ever have.

My nutritionist was so impressed with my physique, he told me to stick with what I am doing. Music to my ears!

My friend Thomas is working on my suit. I cannot wait to see the finished result  and to post pictures on my site when I am through with my show. My goal is to stick with finishing in the top 5 like I have been able to do – but truly I want to be in the top 3 so that I may compete on a national level.

I have been teaching 4 classes a week and my life is very busy but the power yoga classes have indeed – been very powerful. I make them fun and energizing, and my classes are all about my students.

One day soon – by next year I will teach and not be concerned whether I am getting paid or not. I will teach simply because it is a gift I give to others. That’s my intention. That’s my goal.

So until then, keep reading my friends. Thank you.

Namaste.
