Fit, Fun and 21! Journal 2: Having Your Cake, and Eating Some Too
During my prep for Jr. Nationals, just 12 days before I was hitting the stage, I turned 21 years old. Needless to say I definitely traded dinner, bars, and ripping shots, for leg day, cardio, and an egg white soufflé. Many of the people I know were dumbfounded by this decision and couldn’t understand why I couldn’t let go for “just one day.” But as many of us are, we’re committed to what we do and we stick to it! BUT I want to focus right now on knowing when you can relax a bit and find a balance for yourself.

I had a great trip to Toronto. I placed 6th, but was the first American. I was much happier with the package I presented in Toronto versus New York, but still have some improvements to make in my physique and posing. The best part of the trip were the people and the experiences I got to share with them. The two biggest highlights were walking on the edge of the CN Tower with my friend Derek and Gillian Kovack and getting to spend time with an individual that has provided great inspiration for me over this past year, Brian Smith.

The Ruthless Report 5: Candy Is Dandy…and More
Some competitors get their pro card, jump into a show and make the top five, if not the winner’s circle, right away. Others jump into a show and then take a while before suddenly popping into the spotlight. That's the story on Candice Lewis, who jumped to the top of the lineup at the Omaha Pro Figure on June 8, almost a year to the day after her sensational overall victory at the ’11 NPC Junior Nationals. Seventh at the ’11 Fort Lauderdale Pro last fall, sixth at the ’11 Border States and again at the ’11 Kentucky Pro Muscle, seventh at the ’12 Pittsburgh Pro in May.

You Call This Dieting?: Volume 1:
Peanut Butter Banana French Toast Using P28 High Protein Bread and BSN Desert Protein!
Dieting (adjective): a period of time where one deprives themselves of delicious and satisfying foods in order to obtain the ideal physique or weight. Right? WRONG!
So many times people have approached me with questions about how I stay satisfied pre contest and when I diet, which for me, is year round. As I write for RX Girl, you will notice I have to diet harder, longer and more restrictive then most because of my hypothyroid problem
