Hey peeps! I want to let you know at least weekly how my figure prep is going. So it’s time! This past week I didn’t lose any weight, which was somewhat concerning to me, as I only have (as of today) 9 weeks and 2 days left until my show! I have stayed consistently clean in my diet and following my trainer’s workout n supplement specifications…but my body seemed pretty much the same. Yesterday I checked in with her though, ...

Started to work on posing. I put on my heels, and Akane showed me the “mandatory” poses and the “model” pose. The lat spread is definitely the hardest part- gonna have to work on it! (among everything else)
Today:
Cardio done- CHECK! Did it with a friend so actually time FLEW by- YES!
Legs done- CHECK! I don’t think I hit it “hard” (sad face) but I did hit it “all” (happy face). This week of weight training hasn’t been as bad as ...
Continue Reading →So! Week one of contest prep for my first figure competition is completed- diet and exercise. I got my heels in the mail but have only managed to put them on once- they are sitting in my living room, in hopes of being put on and me practicing walking in them, but so far that’s not been the case.
Sooo, I am ecstatic to announce that I will be competing at the August 6th INBA Natural Bodybuilding Championships in Windsor, CA. My first figure competition! There will be bodybuilding, figure, fitness, bikini, etc. I will be entering the 1-piece and 2-piece figure division. I just decided on Monday. Which gives me about 12 weeks prep. The past week or so I have just been doing my own diet and exercise, just doin what I do. To help me take ...

“I search the Yelp reviews a lot , but this is the first time I have really felt compelled to sign up and write a review. I actually found Kristina through Yelp, and was motivated by the remarks I read to call her up and get back into shape. I like to think I am athletic, but the truth was I had got caught in the work rut and my prior ...
Continue Reading →Today I ate some of the food that Sasha and I prepared last week. It’s almost done. We had made a week’s worth of chicken, kale, rice, egg whites and oatmeal, etc etc etc. (Sorry for the blurry iphone pic)
It was neat to revisit that style of eating and next batch I will personalize it a ...
Continue Reading →PowerBar was kind enough to send me some samples of their new “Protein Drink Mix.” LOL. Basically, protein powder. I guess this is more marketed for folks unfamiliar or intimidated by protein powder? In any case, they sent me vanilla and chocolate varieties. Each scoop contains 20 g protein, 7 g carbs, 2 g fats, and 130 calories. The chocolate one tastes really good, but the vanilla one tastes not-so-hot. Altogether, a fine product.
Here’s some info from their ...
Okay, just gotta give a quick review/shout out to a product that I dearly cherish. Talk as much crap as you want about it…but I love it! Especially the chocolate peanut butter flavor- for some reason, the texture of that flavor seems creamier than the rest. Arctic Zero is…my ice cream. My “ice cream.” It’s basically glorified whey. It’s whey and water and fiber (chicory root, xantham gum, and guar gum to make it fluffy) so I can eat it ...
Continue Reading →I am going through a period of wanting to try new things. I love cross training, so today I decided to try aerial conditioning. We started out with a warm up, then we went over a few skills on the trapeze, then we went over a few skills on the tissue. Or it is called Spanish web? Or same thing? In any case, it was pretty fun and came pretty quickly for me, I think because of my gymnastics background. ...

I will be taking a turn and joining two new gyms.
In Mountain View, I will be training out of Evolution Trainers on Tuesdays and Sundays.
