Losing my blog virginity- About me rundown!

Hey everyone! This is my first blog, so il just give you a basic rundown of where I'm at! Ok, so I have danced for 19 years, tap, jazz, hip-hop ect. I wasn't that good, but it was life as I knew it and when I got on stage twice A year, it was the most amazing feeling in the world.

2004, I was diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue, and Chronic Syndrome. Honestly, it was the worst few years of my life. I was bed ridden for months, Lived off Sustagen and my Nans homemade soup, missed school, and lost all my Friends. I still got up once a week to go to dancing, even just to watch, it kept me sane. I went back to school full time first year of college. I only missed a few days, Made new friends, and got back on track. The illness comes and goes, some days are harder Than others, but its my life so iv learnt to keep living it.

2011, my partner Matthew got talked into doing the Inba Launceston Bodybuilding Titles. We went, and the atmosphere was amazing. Tan, hairspray, heels, amazing bodies, basically heaven on A stage. I then decided that's what I wanted to do. So November 2011 I started training and getting Coached by the amazing Steph from Planetmax. I became addicted to the changes weight training and good nutrition Did To my body, and I decided I'd do the Melbourne Classic Inba Titles in May.

Prep wasn't easy, sometimes my body wouldnt cooperate, my digestive system hated me for eating certain foods, And my Adrenal system hated me and my training. I also thought it was an amazing idea to start working full time About 8 weeks out. But I worked though the negativity, just tryed to listen to everyone supporting me, and I did it, I got up There and competed!

The last few weeks, I felt negative, inferior, and that I wasn't lean enough. 1 week out I was ready to Message Steph saying, im out. But I'm so glad people pushed me to do it, it was the most amazing experience, and Team Max is like my family.

I'm now about to start prepping for the Launceston Inba Titles in September. I'd like to give Nabba at Wrest Point in October a go, but that means another comp registration that I can't afford.

Today I went into Planetmax for a post comp appraisal, results from comp prep were... a loss of 34.5cm, 6.65kg, and 13.1% body fat!
Also got some new supps, Udos Beyond Greens, Cafe Mocha Protowhey, and Craze pre workout. Monday a fresh start, got a new diet, and some more muscles to build!

Let me know if there's anything you want me to blog about, I'm happy to listen :)
NO NEGATIVITY PLEASE!

Until next time, Lj <3
