Dear Blog,

Dear Blog,

I am sorry that I have neglected you. I guess I haven’t had much to say now that prep is over. I’m back to building, and I think things are going well. My self-prescribed week off from the gym seemed like an eternity, but when I went back I was pleased to see that my strength did not decrease too terribly much during my lengthy diet. Phew!

Blog, I will try to keep you in my life and update you more often. I hope these show pics are enough for you to forgive me.

Oh, and blog, I wanted to post one more pic from the show, but apparently Mr. Photobucket thinks it is pornographic, and it has been removed from my account. Sorry.

Love,

Genie

(MAN OH MAN! AM I A DORK OR WHAT?! LMAO!)

A couple proofs

Hey folks! I got a couple proofs from the photographers at my show! My back pose looks off, like I hadn’t quite hit it yet. I hope that wasn’t my actual pose! LOL!

As you can see, I am completely bloated in the tummy area. (Thank you TOM!) Also, my candy pump did not work… I just seemed to smooth right over. After a steak and baked tater w/ butter and sour cream, and a nap, I looked like this (taken by my phone! lol):

I will have more pics once I receive the CDs from the photographers. I can’t wait to see them. I’m already looking forward to my next prep.

My plan is to go back to bulking! I’m eating leisurely at the moment, but I mapped out my nutrition earlier in the week, and now I am working out my training kinks. I can’t wait to get back into the gym!!

Also, for you ladies who have prepped yourselves for shows, did you start at 12 weeks out or 16? Just thinking ahead.

Have a great day! and the weekend is so close I can smell it! hehe

I am still alive!

I suck at updating!!

Where do I begin? My first figure competition was a BLAST! The bodies there were amazing. I was out of my league, but I think that really added to the experience. Holy motivation batman!! I ended up placing tenth out of a monstrous class, so I am quite pleased. I was probably the softest (or one of) body there. However, I still consider this a huge success!! My camera actually broke during prejudging, and the pics I have are blurry. I should be hearing from the promoters shortly with the photographers information. I’ll keep you posted!

Thanks for following me along on this journey!! I feel like the end was very anti-climactic, but it’s all good. I enjoyed myself and got a lot out of the experience. I couldn’t have asked for me!

Time to build some glutes and hammies!
