The first show is over Laughing it was a great show the Promoter Tim Gardner This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it did an excellent job with the show. We had a lot a room to warm up and prepare for the event and after the show they had a huge buffet with everything that is not diet!! There were boxes and boxes of pizza and cup cakes, Chinese food and lots of cola.


My preparation for this show was so wonderful all the way through I was never tired to the point where I thought I was doing something wrong or maybe I was still fat lol. I had a lot of fans who were keeping me positive and focused. Thank you all!  I know some of you do recognize yourself Laughing so I don't need to say any names Laughing


One thing I did do different for this show, was drinking SIZEON pre-contest every workout or during the day. This fabulous GASPARI product kept my muscles full and hard and it gave me consistent energy. When I was drinking sizeon pre-contest during the day I would make a nice slushy ice drink made with the ninja shaker, the best blender ever better than the magic bullet. It was like a real treat but not sugar water like 7 eleven lol but plenty of amino acids, whey hydrosylate and leucine to increase your performance and recovery during your dieting stage.


During my workout I was drinking SUPER PUMP 250 (normally a pre-workout supplement) but I like the focus it gives me and the consistency of my workouts when I drink it during my workout. There is nothing wrong with doing it your way as long as you get the best out of it.

For 3 weeks before Tampa I was ready. It was the best I'd ever been. Hard! Extra lean, my A... was so dry, my waist was mini and my back and hamstring were so much better. I couldn't wait to go and compete I had no stress because I knew I was ready and focused.

When I start to eat once again like NY Pro I start to have complications with my belly I was not able to go the bathroom and it was giving me a lot of pain there was sometime stuck, bad enough that I was looking like I had a football ball there. What the hell is happening?  My condition was great but this complication was going from bad to worse and as it turned out it did make me look very blocky in the waist.

In the morning I was feeling good! And the crowd was in my favor  and the judges were congratulating me like I won the show but like you all know me, I never say that its all done because you never know and I don't want to be disappointed so I came back to my room to eat and get ready for the finals. I could not wait I was getting dryer and better Yahoo I'm gonna feel awesome tonight!!!

It took a long time to finally get on stage because there were other events of the show going on, some NPC, Bikini, Figure and then us so my last meal was very far away and I started to feel very weak so I decide to order chicken and when I ate it, my belly did blow up and hurt like hell it was that complication again. I was not able to hold it I was like a pregnant woman with abs on top lol and now it was time for my routine SH4#*/ I was on stage uncomfortable with my belly and the floor had oil so I could not hold my belly and could not hold my pose well in my routine. I felt at that moment I did lose the show.Frown
No worries people, I'm ok I didn't let this temporary setback attack my focus. I'm doing the Europa this weekend and I will make some changes. This is a great time to learn from my mistake so it won't happen at the Olympia in September. I want to be the best ever. So when I go back home I will have some new things to focus on and get better.


So I am not angry I will still do all my work cardio training for the show at Hartford Europa and hopefully I will fix it and get one more title Laughing that would be awesome. But remember this is a learning experience for me, for the Olympia and 2011 season. Laughing
I'm in NJ right now doing demo for Gaspari Nutrition :) how many professional athlete you see doing this for their company? None I am a Machine, I am PowerCat!
