I wanted to share a pic of my husband and I. This was taken in Indianapolis, IN on June 7th, 2003. My very first Figure Competition. NPC Indianapolis BB, Fitness & Figure Comp. I TOOK 3RD PLACE. What's bitter sweet is, my trainers wife also competed in this competition. She's competed now for a couple years and has been training longer than me. She placed 4th. How awsome of a feeling is that!!! Talk about bitter sweet.

I trained 3 months for this. Started my diet 2 months prior. I weighed 175lbs.
2 months later I weighed 135lb and 13-14%b/f

My future goal: To become a Pro-Figure Athlete. Also, to motivate and inspire people along with my two children to achieve what's in their hearts. With my changes, I've motivated many people; at work, at home, gym, friends and family. Hopefully, I can motivate the people here in IM who are in doubt, that they too can achieve. "Take the road to success and don't look back!"

Thanks for sharing your info, prep, training and pictures! Magnificent, Babsie!!

BabsieGirl

Thanks David

I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to write back with any comments.

Maybe we should make another thread: IM Competition Conversation? Don't know.

Are you doing the IM Comp?

great pics babsie.
when is your next comp?
i am going for my figure pro card too

....and thats my $.02

BabsieGirl

My next competition is October 25th 2003. Next month which is the only reason my current diet set up is soo strict. If I don't make that one, I aim to compete November 1st in Kentucky NPC. I honestly do not think I'll be ready for Octobers. Other people seem to think so due to the mass changes I've made already. We'll see. Originally I was going to do but had diet problems. Now, for some reason, everything is starting to come together.

Anywho, if we're allowed (for journal/progress sake) I plan to take photo's in two weeks, then again of the competition (either ONBF or NPC.) The ONBF is in Lancaster Ohio and NPC, in Ky.

Thank you for the compliment

All it took was for me to see one competition and I knew it was for me. After training and seeing results, I was hooked. No bigger high than achieving a satisfying goal. Going Pro is my dream I challenge to make reality. In an odd way, this has inspired me to consider personal training. I love people and I enjoy helping them. I also love to trouble shoot. Great mystery.

K sweetie I'm soooooo tired and need to get some sleep. Same drill 5:30am protein/cardio...blah blah blah....when all I wish I was doing, is SLEEPING.......

Alright. I lost 2 more lbs and 1%b/f

I'm now 148lbs and 18% b/f

note: I hold about 8-10lbs of water.





Another note: For who ever is reviewing my journal. I do cardio like crazy. Every day is cardio. 9/24 I didn't do cardio due to stomach upset. This I believe was due to too much ephedra based product. Took 4 Tums which helped me through my weight training. After weight training, stomach was upset again. Went home, fell asleep immediately......If I didn't.....Well.......it would've been me holding the toilet all night. not good.

One more note: I felt I was getting upset stomach due to the NO CARB week diet soo....guess what.......I had a yam, whole banana and 1/2 cup oatmeal to put me back in the game. It worked. Not immediately but within 30 mins. I began to feel better.

Now I feel fat.........Ewww...

My Journal

firestorm

Hi Babs! Great to have you in the compitition!!! The conversation thread you showed an interest in is called "Online Comp conversation and whoring thread" (Threw the word whore in there to attract people like David and Burner, our 2 most elustrious whores at IM.com) hahaha Thread = http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...threadid=21373 (Online Comp Conversation/whoring Thread)

Your photos are outstanding and at 1st I was wondering why you were entering this because you already look remarkable. After seeing your entering a contest I figured it out. A little extra motivation and support. Well I can only say that is what we are here for. If you read any of my original reasons for this contest you would know that I also wish to help motivate and assist people in reaching their goals as well as myself. We have several females here (J'Bo and JODI) that are experienced in fitness complition and well versed in all the sports aspects. They are here to help you with any questions or support that you may require or just to talk about things. The rest of us Jabronies are here to root you on and push you hard towards your goal.
Regarding your Journal, we try to respect it for its value to you and not post "one liners" but instead leave posts training and diet related. This way JODI and J'bo for example don't have to scroll 3 pages of compliments to get to your next meal and or workout. Anyway, I'm out of wind. I wish you all the best and Good luck to you in your upcoming contest!!!!! You look fantastic and I can see a promising competitive career in your future.

BabsieGirl

Thanks Rissole. I'm working hard and I bet you are too. Keep it up.

BabsieGirl

Hey there Fire

You wondered why I was competing in the Online IM Competition. Well, I'm an athlete and when I'm up for a challenge, it makes me work all that much harder. Just like if I'm weight training with someone else, I'll try to "out do" them. I can hang with the guys and prefer to because of their intensity level. Most of the girls in my gym are more so there for gossip. Which, gets on my nerves. So, working out with men makes for competition and motivation because they will not let me rest during a set when I'm in BURNING pain. The "push" will get you futher in gains. So yeah, this is extra motivation. The girls are all awsome and I know they're going to do well.

Jodi and J'Bo are both excellant ladies. I believe if I have any questions, they'll be right there to help.

Thank you for wishing me luck. I'm gonna need it that's for sure. The competition's getting tough and tougher each time as the word of mouth spreads about "Figure" classes.

BTW -- I tried to change my thread to include the word Whoring, and, the only thing it updated was the topic of my first post. Maybe you can help spread the word? It's going to be very informational.

Again, thanks for your compliments.

firestorm

Oh damn girl, so now you think you can whore with the best of us guys too?????? Damn your spunky. hahahaha Well I really wish you lived around me because I'd grab you up as a workout partner in an instant if I had the chance. Your attitude is rock solid and I love it!! Maybe I should take that "good luck" back and give it to someone else. I'm feeling that you don't need much of that. and you didn't have to thank me for the compliments, they were well deserved.
