Wow. I have not blogged in probably a year and a bit. I remember the days I would blog WEEKLY (and sometimes even multiple times a week!) Which leads me to wonder what content I was posting, lol. Quick recap of my life over the past ~year: I’ve been busy. Last time I blogged I…

3 Month Countdown: UFE Showdown
So I have an app on my phone that counts down to my competition (as I mentioned in my last post) and today it alerted me that it’s… 3 MONTHS UNTIL UFE SHOWDOWN. Holy hell, right? Most people would start their “cut” at the 12-weeks-out mark but my sexy coaches gave me a 14-week bikini…
On Love & Loss: IDFA World Championships 2013
This past weekend, I competed in my second competition of this triple competition blitz I am going through right now: the IDFA World Championships & Pro Universe. Since I had placed top 5 at my very first competition – IDFA Novice Classic, four score and 100 years ago – I was qualified to compete in…
My First Bash: UFE Halloween Mayhem 2013
What. A. Weekend. I honestly wanted to write a post yesterday but I was crazy overwhelmed with work and coming down from my competition high – I think they call it pure, unadulterated happiness? – so I finally have calmed down enough to post about the weekend’s shenanigans! UFE Halloween Mayhem was a freakin’ blast….
S.O.S.! Last Day of Carbs!
AIR HORN. AIR SIREN. WEOOOOOOOO. I have one more carb meal of the day until…. DUHN. DUHN. DUHN. CARB DEPLETION. 8 glorious [sic] days of zero carbs and only eggs, tilapia and chicken breast. With my oils as “sauce”. #blessed This is my third time doing a carb deplete before a show and dare I…
Toronto Pro SuperShow: The Spark That Ignited The Fire…Again
So on Saturday, I went to the Toronto Pro Supershow to cheer on my coach Jill and my friend Stephan in the OPA Provincial Finals. For those of you who don’t know what the Supershow is, it’s a huge three- day multi-event for fitness fanatics. The IFBB and OPA Provincials were held in the lower…
Post-Competition Blues
You read all of these blogs talking about people and their journeys into bodybuilding and healthy living and those are fantastic! You get motivated and inspired and it’s a lovely sense of community in the bodybuilding and competition world. But once the competition is over, the blog posts stop completely or they change gears to…
Feel Good Friday
Despite my week of unobliterated happiness, I felt I needed a little motivational pick-me-up today (and I know some people out there who need one too.) I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves. Mary Wollstonecraft All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women. Voltaire Be intentional about…
The Most Surreal Experience
Let me warn you, this will be a long blog post. So stop reading now if you don’t feel like creeping on my life any further. (But, I mean, you’ve made it this far anyways, so you might as well.) If you’ve been reading my blog posts for the past four months, you’ll know that…
Team Bunny!
Hello everyone! Yesterday was my competition and guess what? I place third place in my division (Novice Fitness Model – Short). I AM THE HAPPIEST GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I’ll post about my competition when I’m less wiped out – waking up for work was kind of a challenge this morning after being off…
Seven Days
I can’t even believe it! I am one week away from my competition! Exactly one week from now, I will have completed my first competition ever and be enjoying a much-needed celebratory Keg dinner with my parents and little sister. I CAN HARDLY WAIT! These past five days have been an experience. I’ve been carb-less…
Dialing In: 2 Weeks!
THIS IS IT. My competition is three weeks away. I cannot even believe it. It seems like my six week mark was just yesterday! Some updates: Booked my hair coloring appointment for the Thursday before. (These roots ain’t stage cute!) Booked my two spray tan sessions at Gold Tan for Thursday and Friday. (I am so…
