Dear Friends and Fans,
Well, my 13Th placing at the Ms. International was not an upset to me. I actually learned a lot and got a whole different perspective of my physique. I couldn't have done anything better. I made great improvements to my legs and came in fuller and harder... what more could I ask for. In my mind, I'm already #1. To hold down the life I have, and still make improvements to my physique and be able to bring it in show shape to the highest level show in the sport...! I ask and expect nothing more. The show was wonderful as usual. The stage was just awesome this year! It was great back stage just being a team. We all are friends and support each other and realize that we are all here to put on a performance. I got a chance to get to know Zoa Lindsey over the past 2 months. She was in Phoenix too. She is really down to earth. She and her husband, Joseph, helped me get around the shows and were there to support in anyway. Thank you and I appreciate that. I got to know Jeannie P better too. What fun it is to get together with your bodybuilding pals and just be people. We don't sit around and have meat head conversations all the time. Jeannie and Zoa both talked with me about my diet and really helped me stay full and even better for the Ms. International. Hey Jeannie, thanks for helping me with the night show.
I really had to sit back and think about what my physique needs and if I'm willing to put in what it is going to take. Well as usual... legs and still what I call " stuffing in the pillows". I've realize now I need to call that stuffing DENSITY! I put the comparison up of me and Dayana. She is top in the world... her physique shows that. I'm not sure if my physique will even be able to carry that or achieve it. I'm really not sure if that is what I want out of my physique. I do have other purposes for my physique that doesn't require that. I love the shape of my physique when I stand alone and in real life... there are no comparisons . I definitely need to think outside the box for a bit. I ate more getting ready for theses past 2 shows than I do off season. I have to start eating to grow. I plan to still train with Rik Wilson ( X Blues hockey player) and to work on that thickness I hunted down an old patient and associate of mine, power lifter Justin Thacker, " Thacker". http://www.labgym.com/ . I sent him pictures of my physique next to other women and he pointed out just the things I was thinking I needed. We will start with our thickening workout "power lifting style" next week. I plan to spend 2 days in the gym just chiseling out my arms, shoulders, calfs and abs. The goal of course is to get better not injured that's why you go to people who specialize in what you are doing! I'm excited to get started.
I'm going to do all of this and continue to grow the practice, everything is just going great! The weather is sunny and 70. WOW... It couldn't get any better.
I'm going to hold off on the NY York show to make improvements. I'll be spending some time in Florida in July! Tampa here I come again!
Special thank you to my posse,
Ron and Leigh
