M.I.A....

Max Muscle Naturals Update - As you followers know, I competed at the Max Muscle Naturals in Culver City on March 28. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed and embarassed. It is probably the reason that I have not been on here in a long time. I needed time to re-focus on my goals and do a little soul searching. Being my first show, everyone was ready to tell how "great" I did, and what an "accomplishment" it was, just to get on stage. That is not enough for me. When I do ANYTHING, I am in it for the WIN/KILL/SUCCESS. "A for effort" is not a phrase in my vocabulary. Anyway, with thoughts of doing the Orange County Show in 4 weeks, the next week turned into overdrive. 90 minutes of cardio a day, a 200 decrease in calories and I was determined to come in completely peeled. However, this plan seemed to backfire a bit. I somehow lost 10lbs in one week, body fat went up, and I had lost a lot of muscle. This setback, coupled with a few personal setbacks had me re-think the Orange County Muscle Classic, and I have since decided to drop out and make my next competition the Los Angeles Show on July 18th.
