NPC 2010

And so begins my journey. Two years ago, I watched some friends compete in the NPC Lonestar Classic Figure Competition. From the moment I stepped into the facility and saw the bodybuilders and figure athletes, I was hooked! Figure is something completely different from women's body building. You lean out and gain muscle definition without building the massive man bulk that's associated with bodybuilders. (Example, pros Mary Elizabeth Lado and the late Amanda Savell, below)


I've slowly begun to transform my diet because it's a science that goes hand-in-hand with the workouts. Meals consist of chicken breast, ground turkey or tuna, oatmeal with flaxseed, brown rice, asparagus... Meals after 3 are protein and veggies. I'm not going to absolutely flood this blog with nothing but workouts and the same boring meals, but I'm going to do everything I can to chronicle this event in my life. I want to prove to myself that I have what it takes to be a figure athlete. I don't have many things I want to accomplish in my life, but I've always wanted to be able to train for an athletic competition. So, welcome to this journey in my life and here's to NPC in (November) 2010!
