SD Green Coffee Bean!!

I love this product!!!!

  SD Green Coffee Bean has been such a huge part of my supplementation program this past year. This product helps stabilize blood sugar so you don't "crash", increases Fat loss, it's a Powerful Antioxidant, non stimulant, 100% Natural and Caffeine Free, and one of my top favourite Supplements!!
 How does it work?
Well.....Chlorogenic acid  has a significant influence on glucose metabolism and demonstrates a significant improvement in glucose tolerance. This in turn helps the body reduce fat and increase fat burning!! Gotta LOVE THAT!!!
I also really found that I did not feel like I was getting light headed throughout the day. I did not need as many coffee's, which is also great!

Post Arnolds

Well.....

   It has been 1 week back from the Arnold's and I must admit it is coming down from a high of some sorts. I am now trying to get back into the rhythm of "normal" life, I had an amazing time down in Columbus I am so happy I did it. I am not sure of my placing there were 35 girls in my height category and all I know is I brought the best package I have ever had and that is all I can really do. So what is next?

  I have roughly 6 months till Nationals and now I am going to really start working on bringing my legs and glutes tighter, I know that is my area I need to work on. I have decided to not train upper body as much I find my arms/shoulders looked quite ripped for bikini. So tweaking and fine tuning....I have never approached training like this, more of a technical aspect, really looking at what I need to do to bring the best package and improvements to my body. I am excited as to how it will come together.

I did enjoy dinners out and some sweets the past week but today I started back to my normal routine. I really enjoy eating clean, I feel better, my energy is better, and I see the changes in my body. I don't agree with the "off season" mentality, so tonight my lovely boyfriend prepped my food and I am ready to get things going again....however that being said....I am so happy to have peanut butter back on my Breakfast Team again!!!

Thanks Babe

For every competitor who takes the stage there is usually a support team behind them. The team at home who cheers them on, puts up with the none existent social life, the endless hours of training, food prep and moments of exhaustion. This is a very "self involved sport" it is trying to better yourself with each show and to see the changes and progress you have made on your physique. It takes a lot of patience and understanding from a partner as for the duration of contest prep they essentially loose that person.
I am one of the lucky competitors who have had an amazing support behind me on this journey. Ten months ago my boyfriend encouraged me to go back into my first show. Now 4 shows later he is still encouraging me to be my best I can be. Pushing me out if bed in the morning, encouraging me to finish my last rep, listening to the endless talk of diet, carbs, fat, bikini's, posing ect....
I wanted to take this blog to dedicate it to him.....Thank you for all the love and support, for being there for me on this journey, I am so lucky to have you in my life....I Love You!
