Today is Wednesday, August 29.  It’s the day that I leave for Cleveland for the IFBB North Americans.  I have been waiting for this day for months and I can’t believe it’s finally here!

I started preparing for a competition last July ‘06 with a bulking/adding muscle size.  January 1st I started my dieting and added cardio in.  Then the show I was going to compete in got moved from June to August so I took the month of March to be a little more relaxed with my diet and started again in April.  Then June 11 I was informed that the show had been canceled all together.  You can imagine my disappointment after months and months of dieting and training.

That’s when I went on line and found the North Americans and decided to go for it!  Here it is and because of all my hard work early on I’m in the best shape of my life and more prepared than I could ever be.

I’m so thrilled to be competing at this level with so many women in the same place I am.  The energy will be amazing, I hope to make some new friends, and no matter what the outcome I plan on having the time of my life!
