Inspired!

Today I made a visit to The Los Angeles Fitness Expo at the Convention Center. I ran into a ton of friends in the industry and everyone there was so positive and encouraging... the season is about to start in the spring and everyone is pumped. Inspired... yes... the ball is rolling and the fire is there!

I have been getting a ton of feedback this year about what direction I should head in. At first, I was so focused on Fitness and getting bigger bigger bigger in size. The reality is... I'm tiny... and even if I gained a ton of muscle and lost more body fat, I am still going to look petite on stage. The great thing is, I am OK with that. I never wanted to become a figure competitor or have too much muscle. I like being proportionate and I like looking au natural.

I was chatting with show producers and fellow fitness competitors at the expo today about how the woman competitors in certain divisions keep getting larger and muscular every year. The bikini girls are looking like fitness girls, the fitness girls are looking like figure girls and the figure girls are looking like body builders. BODY BUILDERS...?? oh my! Well, it turns out NPC and a few other shows are going to add a Bikini division. It is the first year and the rules are set. The goal is to keep fit and toned but stay feminine ladies!

It is exciting to hear news like this. I was planning on doing FAP bikini and fitness this year as well as Ms. Fitness USA of course, but I am going to participate in the new bikini round at Muscle Beach, WBFF and NPC. Some girls say it is disrespectful to jump from one organization to another, but let's be honest- I like competing and I really want to represent fit femininity in the industry. I want to go for more titles this year too! My big goal is to inspire woman to get fit... lead by example... live healthy without having to look like a bodybuilder! The best part of having a Bikini round in a Muscle competition- you are still PROMOTING FITNESS AND A HEALTHY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE... Feminine and Fit... I may be LIL MISS FIT, but I have a BIG statement I want to get across this year.
