New York Pro Figure Championship Update

I placed 2nd!!! I'm qualified for the Olympia!!!!! 23 BEAUTIFUL women competed - it was definitely NOT an easy show! I'm very excited to be going back to Vegas this year... the Olympia will be held September 28-October 1st. For more info visit www.2006Olympia.com For pictures and full results of the NY show visit www.graphicmuscle.com and click on the NY Pro Figure picture. Congrats to all the ladies that competed! We made it through another show!

I'm pleased with my placing, but know that I have alot of work to do to prepare for the O. I was a little softer than I'd like to be for the NY show, and plan on coming in a little harder and tighter. I also plan on lightening up my lower body musculature a bit. I'll be going for more of the streamlined look. I've never come into a show this way, so it shall be an interesting journey. I am taking it easy this week to let my body rest. THEN, the next 10 weeks after that will be spent with my nose to the proverbial grindstone as I go underground in preparation. It's going to be grueling, as I have to lose a bit of muscle - which is no easy task - but it's going to be a worthwhile adventure! I'm psyched and ready to go!!!

Until next time..... Stay Healthy!!!

Almost There.........

Hi Everyone,

Just thought I'd pop in and give a brief update on my last week prep for the NY Pro Figure Show. For those who didn't know, I am competing this Friday night (7/14) at 6:30 pm in the NY Pro Figure Championships. It's being held with the Team U Fitness and Bodybuilding, and National NPC Figure Shows at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center. The theater is at 199 Chambers St. on the corner of West St. in downtown Manhattan. If you happen to be around, please come and watch!

Anyway, I just got back from the gym... I have but one day of working out left, and then I'm DONE until after the show. I can't begin to tell you how happy this makes me!! I've been training so hard and for so long for this show, my body is spent! I am hoping to make the top 3 so that I can qualify for the Figure Olympia again this year. This is the same show where I qualified last year... say a prayer that I can do it again!~

OK! Time to eat. VERY important to me right now! LOL! Wish me luck, and check back on Sunday the 16th for the results!

Stay Tuned.................................
