In the first 3 months I was able to put on 20 lbs. I got to eat anything I wanted to, and loved every minute of it because the following 4 months was all strict diet. The diet is the most important thing in bodybuilding, I feel it's even more important than the training itself. Everyday I consumed the same foods over and over. They were tuna, egg whites, oatmeal and rice. Every other night I had either chicken or beef for dinner. I also was downing 4-5 protein shakes throughout the day as well to meet my protein requirements. Talk about a food rut, but it was all worth it.
The training was extremely exhausting. I was waking up at 5 A.M. almost every morning to do 40 minutes of cardio and I was in gym later on that day to do my weight training. After each work out I felt like I just wanted to go back to bed, but I was able to gather myself together, chug down a protein shake and get myself motivated for the next work out.
Now the day I've been waiting for, competition day. It starts off at 5 A.M with a wonderful breakfast of raisons and rice cakes with peanut butter. Around 6 A.M my parents had to put on a coat of dream tan over my base coat of Jan Tana I already had on. After the lotion settled in I slipped into my posing suit, and warm-ups and headed into Spokane for the prejudging, which began at 9 A.M. Prejudging is where most of the points are earned. In the WFNA you are sent through 3 rounds of comparison with your competitors, were you are judged on mass, symmetry and definition.
When I arrived at the Met that morning, I found out that I was going up against a 20-year-old, but I did not let that affect me. I spent 7 months preparing for this show, and there was no way I was going to let myself be psyched out. I knew mentally and physically that I was prepared for this.
The junior class, which is what I was in, was the second group to go on stage. So 20 minutes before 9, I headed down into the pump up room and did my final preparation before going on stage.
