8 weeks and 4 days but who's counting...ME!

Time is flying by! I cant believe its almost May and show time is approaching!
Theses last few weeks have been a challenge but I keep on pushing.
My cracked rib is healing up nicely,Body By Brandt supplied me new meal plans, doing extra cardio and the pants are loosening up!


I really cant wait to take stage, I got my new suit, theme wear costume, 
 bikini bite almost everything but the tan!
 I have to say I love this sport for many reasons, not only feeling great inside and out but one my top fav's is that I really enjoy competing.
Competing against yourself  to do your personal best and to achieve better than the last time. All the hard work,  hours training, sweating  and dieting all comes down to being on  that stage.

Not to forget  on stage in a tini tiny bikini ! Yikes! I know if I have had one too many cheat meals, its gonna show. I made the mistake last year of over indulging a bit to much before my last show, which made me defiantly not as lean as I had been in the shows before. I was very disappointed in myself and knew I could have done better. I think this has pushed me in new ways to remind myself what can happen if I don't stay on track.
So as I write this I'm craving a late night snack,toast with peanut butter with a side of dill pickles weird eh?
lol! instead I'm drinking a cup of tea and thinking its all going to be worth it in the end!


Thanks for reading my blog I know its not much, short and sweet, I'm defiantly not a writer! so next blog's gonna be a VBlog ! 
Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy day!

Eleven weeks out from WBFF Show and I cracked a rib...

Eleven weeks out ...
Start of week 11 was going amazing! Muscle Mondays as  we like to call it, (trainer Dean Brandt and best friend Chelsea ) started the week off great with a full Body By Brandt style workout. Tuesday up at 5:30 for Spin class  following on a back and abs workout .Wednesday usually is  my cardio day, Thursday yet again Spinning my heart out followed by a lower body work. 

This brings us to Friday, which was a day off work, day to indulge in my other love in life, Dirt biking &  Racing motocross! Adrenaline junkie I can be at times, but for every sport  that's some what dangerous you can pay the price. 

I took a crash heading down the back straight away of the motocross track and landed on my right side. I couldn't breath and had completely  knocked the wind out of  myself. All I could think was dammit I have to be ready to go and on a stage in eleven weeks this better not be really bad
.
Thankfully the ex-rays showed that only my lower right rib was cracked and that I had internal bruising and swelling. So Sunday am stiff and soar I hopped on the treadmill and tried to get back at it.
Motto for this week and to follow :
I going to  achieve my goals this year and I'm not stopping until I do, no matter what it takes! 
Thanks for reading :) Hugs Heidi

My First Blog !!


Ok, here goes my first blog! Hope you enjoy it :)

Today marks 12 weeks out for my second WBFF fitness show held in Vancouver BC
I'm so excited about getting on stage this year. I feel like I have more focus and drive then ever before.
  Last year was my first year doing fitness competitions.
I felt I did well for my first year, placing top 3 in the WBFF and top 5 in the BCABBA organization for fitness.  I'm really training hard on making big improvements this year and I am looking forward to stepping on stage and having fun!

Now for the training... so a typical day starts for me starts at 5:30am with
Oatmeal almonds and protein and I'm out the door to the gym! 6am for 45 minute Spin class followed by an upper body or lower body workout. Today was triceps /biceps /deltoids/ lats and a killer ab work out! Nothing like kicking the day off right! And for tonight.... more CARDIO!

Thank you so much for following me through this amazing journey. Regular updates, videos and workout tips will be posted each week. 
Cheers Heidi
