Cute Workout Tops

Hey Everyone!
 I just want to introduce the workout clothing line that my cousin in law sells.  It is called Stella Athletics, the workout tops are so cute, I have two of them and I want more!  These tops are super well made and very durable.  I have received so many compliments on these tops at the gym!  If you are interested in getting any of these tops please feel free to let me know!  She is local!  Here name is Kelly and she is the woman on the far left in this picture! 

Here are the two tops that I own.  I was given these tops as a gift for my birthday in August from my Mother in Law Gaylene.

If you are interested in any of the Stella Athletics Apparel, please let me know and I can contact Kelly for you!

Posing, Nutrition and Fitness Update!

Hey all, I thought I would give you an update.

I met with Heidi Carter, with http://newusalonandfitness.com/ she was great and was able to put together a specific plan just for me, verses purchasing her full competition package considering I don't need a trainer.  I purchased my Nutrition Plan and Posing.  It is super nice because I can just pay as I go.  I pay for a new nutrition plan as I need it and I pay per session for Posing.  My first posing session is November 16th.  I am super excited about it.  I will be doing a session this month, in December, in January, and then more frequently in February and March as needed. 

So far I officially started my new diet yesterday, it isn't too different from my eating habits that I had prior.  I am now lowering my fat intake and adding more calories.  Unfortunately I will no longer be able to eat all my egg yolks, which is quite a big deal to me, considering I love me my boiled eggs, especially the yolks!  I thought it was crazy hearing that I needed to up my calorie intake but right now I am in my bulking stage; working on adding about 1-1/2 lbs of muscle over the next 2 months.  High protein and low fat is necessary.  Weight is such a big deal to me, so it may be hard to see those numbers on the scale go up, but the image in the mirror will probably over compensate for that.

I need to gain more muscle in my Shoulders and Lats, but lean out everywhere else.  So currently I am lifting super heavy, which feels awesome because I have been sore over the last few days.  I am not doing very much cardio because I am bulking up.  The only cardio I will be doing is the Stairmaster for 10-15 minutes (doing speed intervals) after my weights, or a quick HIIT workout on the treadmill after my weights.  I don't want to risk losing muscle by hitting cardio too hard.

So far that is the update!  I will keep you posted!

Competition Update!

Last night at the gym I met with Amy Nelson and Nate Peterson.  Amy has competed in Figure, she answered questions that I had regarding the politics of competing, and her overall experience with competing.  Apparently there are politics involved, as there are with anything.  But she said she has loved her overall experience.  I also spoke with her boyfriend, Nate Peterson, who is a Trainer/Nutritionist/Competitor.  I need to look into my nutrition/supplementation and workout for 3 months prior to the show.  So I am currently weighing my options and looking into the nutrition and training. 

I am also meeting with a woman by the name of Heidi Murphy Carter, with http://newusalonandfitness.com/ on Monday.  She has a full competition package, but I am looking into just purchasing the stuff that I need, like posing instruction.  I will keep you posted on what I think of what she has to offer and if I chose to use her.  Regardless I will probably use her for spray tanning. 

Update on the Competition Suit.  I have decided to purchase a plain competition suit and then add crystals myself, considering I love crafty stuff, as my old age approaches.  I think I am going to go with the color magenta, because I love this color.  Here is an example of the color I want.

MAGENTA

I should be fine in this color considering it looks great with brown hair and my skin color, which will be brown on the day of the show.

Update!

I am currently looking into all of the details regarding preparing for the Show!  There are so many little details that competing entails.  Here is a list of everything I need to do, that I have figured out so far:

Competition Task List

1. Research/Possibly Get Trainer.

2. Get my Nutrition Plan all worked out. 

3. Purchase Shoes.

4. Purchase Competition Suit (not cheap).

5. Practicing Posing/Possibly get Posing Coach if necessary.

6. Sign up for Show.

7. Get my spray tanning option for day of show. 

8. Up my workouts and HIIT Training. 

9. Drink Loads of Water, until a few days prior to show.
10. GET CONFIDENT!  PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

This is just a simple list and I am sure this list will get longer as a go.  I will keep you posted regarding when I complete a task or a new task is added!  

Oh yeah....I am starting a new workout next week.  I will update my "Current Workout" page as soon as I start next week.
