So I've been MIA!
Since my last post about the Emerald Cup, I went on to Nationals back home in Ohio. I placed 4th in fitness at the North American in the tall class. Shortly after, the npc changed the rules for fitness, making the routine more than HALF of the total scoring. Since my routine wasn't strong, I was almost sure fitness wasn't for me... so now what?
WELL!... The npc also introduced a NEW category called Womans Physique Division (WPD), at all National Shows this year. Its basically for a women who's body is between a figure and bodybuilder, they want the woman smaller than bbers, with more feminine posing (openhanded, on toes, no most muscular), and less hardness, dryness, and striations. I feel that I would fit here physically, best. I do not have a small frame or an upside down martini-glass look that they like in figure. I do not want to be any BIGGER, so def not straight up bodybuilding. So I'll try to bring up my legs just a bit more, and work on my abs.... and get the posing down (with help from Zoa Linsey here in Oki!!!)
Now for my prep, I can finally eat carbs, AND lift heavy, maintain muscular size and shape, and just go into a show strong and full. I always dieted HARD and cardioed HEAVY for figure to bring myself down everywhere.
We've already booked tickets and lodging for my show: The USAs in Vegas, July 29/30! http://lindsayproductions.com/11EventInfoUSA.php
The boys and my hubby are coming - I'm very excited!!!
I'll try to stay more frequent with this next journey.... I'm 16 weeks out, started my diet today...... :)
