Australian Grand Prix 2013

Hey Guys!!

I just wanted to give you all a little update about my experiences last weekend in Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix. My weekend most certainly started off with a high with my best friend Nina Silic being awarded her IFBB Pro Card! After doing such an amazing job since the beginning I always knew that she was the one who deserved to be the first person to be awarded an IFBB Pro Card in Australia. I am so incredibly proud of her and her achievements in the past two years and I apologise to anyone who witness my crying in the VIP section behind the judges as soon as she stepped on that stage haha. Nina says that it is one of her dreams come true and I can say its most surely my dream come true to have my best friend, fellow worker and bombshell sister to have achieved IFBB Pro status along with myself so we can live our dream together and compete as Professionals on the USA stage.

I enjoyed getting to make new friends with fellow IFBB Pros and catching up with my idol Erin Stern. She is such a down to earth woman and it was great to talk to her about Arnolds and hear what she has to say and how she handles those types of situations. Being as obsessed as I am with IFBB Bikini Pros physiques it was incredible to final meet some in the flesh.. AND the best in the business! My bombshell sista's are insanely gorgeous and real and I can not wait to see them all again soon.

This was my third show as an IFBB Figure Professional and I have to say it was hands down the best I personally think I have looked and felt on stage. My main focus and goal is to always improve every time I get on stage and I achieved this. My lower body is more developed with rounder shape in my quads, hamstrings, calves and I finally grew a butt. My waist was tighter and I loved my overall appearance on stage. As always, I am my own worse critic so I know exactly what I want to improve on leading into my next show. My hair, tan and make up was impeccable thank you to Tracey Kaye MUA and my bikini was a stand out favourite thank you to the talented Claire Skeet at Creative Bikinis.

Setting goals for improvements, time frames and asking for judges feedback are key points to ensure that we do improve every time we hit the stage. Just because I have reached IFBB Pro status in no way do I think that I am exactly where I need to be... but I know I am getting closer.

As I plan to compete a few more times this year I had no problem with getting straight back into routine once I got back home. Having a photo shoot with Marc Thyssen the following day after competition had me still eating clean foods after a big carb meal after the show, and trust me it didnt take much to get me full. It was great to finally be able to shoot with Marc and I cant wait to see the final photos and share them with you all!

Tomorrow is also a massive day for myself with 6 beautiful clients competing at the IFBB O'Mara Classic in bikini. I am so proud of my girls and the efforts, hard work and dedication even before they get onto the stage. The journey is the toughest part so making it through that is a massive reward in itself. Helping others to achieve their own goals brings me so much happiness and satisfaction, I don't think they realise how much they brighten and have an impact on my life but I am so lucky to have such amazing girls. I love this excitement the night before a competition.

I wish everyone the best of luck for the remainder of the IFBB shows all over Australia over the next 2 weeks. Remember that the hard work has been done and now its time to have fun and shine, SHINE ever so bright!

I would like to say thank you to Tony and Amanda Doherty for going above and beyond ensuring that I had everything I needed for the whole weekend and running such an amazing show which is only getting bigger and bigger each year. My sponsors BeautyFit for supporting me, believing me and pushing me harder. My amazing coach Shannon Dey and the Bombshell Team for leading me on a completely new journey. My Muscle Worx family, beautiful friends and family for their support, love and understanding of what I do and last but not least my partner for staying by my side the whole day to ensure I was fine, keeping me calm and holding my hand the whole way, for his creation of my bikini with the amazing Claire Skeet at Creative Bikini and also for being my stylist at the Marc Thyssen shoot. It means so much to me to have this support and I could not have done it without any of you!

Much Love and Support xoxox
