And I thought motivation was high before...

Since my last entry, the light has really shined on me!! I started my diet 4 days ago, which is 24 weeks out from the NPC Natural Ohio, followed by the NPC Natural Indiana 2 weeks later. Not only have I done more homework this time during contest prep that's helped me tremendously with my nutrition, supplements, and training, but the biggest gift was a new training partner who's been incredibly helpful!! She's a figure competitor training for the same shows, so being able to train with someone who possesses the same goals and can relate to every aspect of it, is just an amazing and motivating gift to have! I'm looking forward to many, many days of training together!

Just recently, I heard from a long lost friend, and icon to the sport of bodybuilding! This girl is so full of inspiration, it's just unlimited. When you have friends like this who believe in you more than you believe in yourself at times, failure is no option. I'm not letting anyone down, including myself!!!! It's game time!!!

Kristina (paramedic I work with, and pretty much my sister), is still making huge progress dropping lbs and getting in awesome shape! It's been 10 mos, and she has not lost an ounce of motivation. I'm surrounded by very encouraging friends and family!! It just doesn't get better!
