Paradise Cup: 7 Weeks Out

Well it has been a couple months since my last post and it is already that time again! Another competition is approaching and I have just 7 weeks until its time to step on the stage. Now that I know what to expect, how my body responds, and have my first competition under my belt, I am super excited for the next show. Paradise Cup is on November 2, 2013 and will be held at The Sheraton in Waikiki. I am back to training three times a week with Chris Ranes at Fitness Ranes training studio. I have also added a new supplement to my regimen. It is called "BioCharge." BioCharge^® is a premier pre-workout and intra-workout supplement designed to improve muscle performance and recovery through a formula of antioxidant rich botanicals combined with B Vitamins and BCAA's. I love how it has made me feel these past 2 weeks and it also tastes delicious! I will post some progress pictures in a few weeks! Here we go!

Journey to the Stage: GAME TIME

It has been a week since the Ikaika Bodybuilding Championship here in Hawaii and I am happy to say that I came in 2nd place in the bikini tall class. It was my very first show and a last minute decision to fully commit to compete...8 weeks out! It was a lot of hard work and  took a lot of mental toughness through those 8 weeks but I did it!! definitely learned a lot about my body and myself and I can't wait to step on the stage again. I have so much respect for all the competitors out there. There is so much hard work and dedication that goes on in this sport.

I would like to thank...

My trainer and boss Chris Ranes for training and believing in me. I have learned a lot from you over these past few weeks!

Shelby O'Fay, Trixie Wright, Brian Copeland, and everyone backstage for helping me with nutrition, posing, and stage tips.

Jenn Kim for being my beauty maker! She did it all...Spray tan, AMAZING make up, painted my toe nails, and PAMed me up!!!

Shade Ozuno for my beautiful gel nails at Pure Nails in Honolulu. Anna Alonzo for threading my eyebrows and face, Beyond Bare in Honolulu. Jenn Yee for my eye lash extensions, Luxe Lashes in Honolulu.

My boyfriend Tali for his constant support and even eating tilapia for dinner with me.

Love you!!

My Mom and Dad for always inspiring me to do my best and to have fun! To ALL my family, friends, and Fitness Ranes Family for all the calls, texts messages, facebook comments, and instagram comments throughout my journey. I couldn't have done it without all of you!!!! This was my first but definitely not my last competition! Time to prep and bring a more lean and toned body to the stage! Paradise Cup is November 2, 2013... #operationBOOTY is now in progress. Stay tuned. =)

Journey to the Stage: 3 Weeks out

So A LOT has happened over the past 5 weeks! A trip to Seattle, family visitors, a jam packed schedule, girl time, and even a hemorrhoid. YUP a hemorrhoid! But with everything that has been going on, I have still managed to progress at a steady pace. My suit has come in and it's nice to put on to see what I need to work on these next 3 weeks.

My main focus is to get as lean as I can and I have myself on a strict white fish, spinach or asparagus, and complex carb diet. Boring much...but I want to be as ready as I can be for my first show. I am also taking my usual AdvoCare supplements! Thanks to my friend Shelby O'Fay, I am now in the right direction and I couldn't be more thankful!

My lower body has been frustrating to tighten! It is amazing how different exercises will effect people's bodies differently! It has been a lot of trial and error, frustration, and sweat.

I think we have finally figured out how my body works and I am excited to see my progress over the next 3 weeks. Time to practice posing so I can work it on stage!
