Isabelle Turell ---> Road to the 2008 NPC USAs!

[NPCIN]

I've already notified Sioux of this recently, but I will be posting a current pic of Isabelle as she is beginning her prep for the 2008 USA's. I don't expect for her to make a training journal on here for this show, but I could be wrong.LOL I will post pics of her during her prep every so often for everyone to see the transformation take place. I have very high expectations of her for this show and I'm excited to see what she'll look like when she hits the stage. I know size isnt everything, but look for her to compete with at least 25 lbs more on her frame with the same lines that she had when she last competed when she won the Lt Hwt class at the 2006 NA's.

[Siouxcountry]

WOW! What did she weigh at the 2006 IFBB North American?

Thanks, David! :)

Isabelle...you would've had calves like me a long time ago if you would've trained them right and not half assed them.haha No distractions this year!!!

Tim, I'm eating all the bad food in the home as SOMEONE seems to be forgetting that she's suppose to be having cheat meals every so many days instead of every day.:banghead:

[jasons805]

A 48 ounce steak in 20 minutes? :flex:

LINK (http://isabelleturellblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/48-oz-monster.html)

Here is a picture of me dominating a 48 oz steak. In order for me to get it for free I had to eat it in 20 minutes. I wasn't scared as I knew I had a HUGE appetite. Of course I did nt let the steak get the best of me. I walked away with a free meal, a t-shirt and my picture on the wall. I just wanted to share as I had a fun time. I also wanted to piont out this bodybuilder chic can eat. LOL

I'd be lucky if I could eat half that in 20 minutes. :D

OMG barely made it as I had a hard time cutting the steak.

David was VERY happy he didnt have to pay $40.00 for my steak. ;)

[ISABELLE TURELL]

I really apperciate everyones comments. I really couldn't do what I do if it wasn't for people like my boyfriend David (NPCIN), My trainer and coach Tim Gardner and for all you guys. People like yourselves motivate me and inspire me, and I just want to tell you thank you so much.

[dallas3]

Hey Isabelle, glad to hear the training is going well. That taking down that steak shows the stereotypes FBB's are breaking, you'd picture fat guys taking down steaks that big....but nope a FBB did it and with ease...:)

[ISABELLE TURELL]

The steak was yummy! :D

I had an awesome back workout today and the steak helped me a lot:bowdown: I was so pumped and vascular today it was insane:awesome1:

I will be posting more pictures and possibly some video this week. I will also keep you updated on training, diet, etc.

I just want to say real quick as some of you know I moved from Florida to Indiana recently to be of course with my super duper boyfriend David (NPCIN) and to focus more on my prep. I must say since being here in Indiana it has helped me a lot with my prep for USAs. People are very friendly, supportive and there is a lot less drama here:cool:. Everything is so laid back here and I am very focused with my training as I am not as distracted as I have been in the past. So I am very very excited to what lies ahead with my journey to USAS. Hopefully Tim won't kill me on the diet and training and David can handle me dieting as sometimes I can be a bit too nice.:angel:

[NPCIN]

Sioux, I've already asked Isabelle to guest pose at the state show that will be held two weeks prior to the USA's. If she should decide to do it...I will get some video of it to share.
Femalephysiquefan...Isabelle will be test judging this year so you should be seeing her at all the Indiana shows this year unless she really bombs out on her scores.LOL
Lynx...maybe Isabelle and I can come out to visit and realx with you and Dave after the USA's as I know she will be like this:daz: during her prep.haha

[Siouxcountry]

[sassy69]

Shazaaayam Isabelle!!!!!!!

[ISABELLE TURELL]

That's cool! NPC could use judges like you with alot of knowledge in the sport!

Thank you Tracy for the compliment. I am nervous about test judging next weekend as David may get on me about my scoring. :angel:

[ParadiseCup]

is David getting on you a good or bad thing ? :waving:

[ISABELLE TURELL]

The past couple of days have been really really awesome. Davids' my training partner and he's making me work "hard" :banghead:. In just the past two days I've notice a huge change in my physique, and my weight has dropped(yeah). Yesterday I had some serious vascualrity in my arms and shoulders. Which is kinda rare for me this far out. I also noticed my physique was harder too. My leg veins are playing peek a boo with me.

I had quads to train today and David helped me out with my workout and it was so sweet of him as today he didnt train much today. To just focus on me with my workout means a lot to me.:kiss:

Dieting is well.......... Freakin Fantastic..lol. :dvsness:I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Tim has me doing cheat meals every now, and then. Its those days I favor the most haha. Yesterday I went to Cheeseburger in Paradise and ordered nachos with queso, Hawaiian burger with bacon and extra cheese, and french fries. For dessert we went to Cold Stone Creamery were I had mint ice cream, reeses peanut butter cups, and oreos. LOL:D

Now for my last cheal meal David took me to place in Danville, Indiana called Wiggles. This place rocks. All year round they serve nothing but carnival food. They have fried oreos, twinkies, reeses cups, snickers, elephant ears, funnel cakes, big corn dogs, and many more yummy items. It was a unique experience.

Tim will be redoing my diet this week or next week and I'm sure there wont be any cheats on there. As of Saturday we have 18 weeks out (I think). I am planning on flying out to see him in Tampa next month or so. That will be fun as I haven't seen him in a while. If you ever in Tampa, check out his gym BODY TECH Fitness Emporium. It is a very unique gym and great atmosphere.
He has a huge wall of fame with all his athletes which is really neat. I really enjoy being there as it is a bodybuilders dream. You won't want to leave.

Well I'm off to do some aerobics:tr:

[ISABELLE TURELL]

is David getting on you a good or bad thing ? :waving:

haha,

Its a good thing, but you never know with David. ;)

[Noel Fuller]

That has got to be the best v taper in the sport.

[NPCIN]

Someone has to keep you in line Isabelle. Sioux...the fried snickers and twinkies were awesome.LOL Never thought I'd spend $50 on fried sweets.haha

OMG!!! You are killing me over here!! Now that's what I call some real cheat food!! I would love to have an elephant ear right about now!!! I'm go'n 2 have to take a trip to Indiana...I've never heard of a restaurant with just carnival goodies....that should be a crime!!!

[ISABELLE TURELL]

Daivd mentioned the place to me and I just had to go as I have a bad sweet tooth:D

I just got off the phone with Tim as he reviewed my pics and is also going over the diet and making his adjustments. We talked about my physique and our focus pionts. Overall he was very pleased with where I am sitting at right now. In the next week or so the real fun begins, goodbye cheat meals:pout:...lol. The important thing for me is to have fun and enjoy what I love to do. Its a smooth sail from here on out.

I will be doing a late night workout today with David. I'm not looking too forward to that as I love to train in the morning. I also have some good news to announce but it will have to wait til later on.

[Siouxcountry]

I also have some good news to announce but it will have to wait til later on.

Shawn, what show are you doing May 10th?

[Mightymouse]

Sounds good David, we are planning on staying some extra days too and relax. It will be a long two weeks, flying from home to pittsburg, back home and then to Vegas.

[ISABELLE TURELL]

Some of the photos are already on the site. Andy has about 5 more galleries to post in the next week or so.

Well I got to eat cheat meals this weekend. YEAH. So today is the LAST day.:angel: Today I trained quads a little after 7am at Nitro Fitness with Ed Sanders (NPC Indiana Chairman) and NPC Judge Sonny who is competing at the Indiana State show in July. Holy Smokes. WE didn't lift heavy but let me say this. I am HURTING. when I walk around my quads want to give out on me. I couldn't even walk today. The intensity was insane. Leg day is not my favorite day...........at all. I was trying to worm my way out of it, but David wouldnt let me as he made sure we got there ON TIME. There was no escaping:owned:

[ISABELLE TURELL]

I could be wrong, but from the pic I have...it doesnt look altered.

Sure it does Jason made me look smaller;). Hey David think of the word "outstanding":LOLOL:

[Siouxcountry]

Isabelle,

How was it judging your first time?

:)

[NaturalNick]

Keep up all of your hard work and I know our judges will reward you. Your friend, Nick.

[ISABELLE TURELL]

Isabelle,

How was it judging your first time?

:)

I didnt bomb my scores. ;) It was a great experience for me. The hardest part for me would be when I had to judge several people who all had similar conditioning. Its a tough call. WE had to make them hit poses and switch them around a few times. It amazing how much tighter some competitors got when hiting thier poses.

The important thing is I did very well, and I am now an official Indiana judge. I do want to thank David for helping me out as he gave me a few tips that made judging a little easier on me. Its not easy:p

[Siouxcountry]

Girl you look amazing!!! I think I might have to check out that restaurant you mentioned-Wiggles. I dont think it's too far from me. I heard the show went well last night so great job! Keep up the great work! It is paying off!

Eric Schmidt and his wife out on a great show. There was a great turnout at prejudging and at the night show. Eric gave away these really cool superman emblems to the winners of each class. Im happy I passed my judging test *whew*

Well this weekend I was allowed to cheat a few times and unfortunatly as of tomorrow the REAL fun begins for me.:cheerleader:

Wiggles is AWESOME!!!!!!!! You will love it. I know we did.:D

[jasons805]

Sure it does Jason made me look smaller;). Hey David think of the word "outstanding":LOLOL:

I really didn't do anything to make you look bigger or smaller just thought I could add a little to the pic by blurring the background so on. Sounds like you had a great weekend. Glad judging went well.

Hi Nick. How is everything going in California? Thanks for stopping by the thread and saying hello

[ISABELLE TURELL]

I hope I can get out of bed in the morning:D

[ISABELLE TURELL]

I was checking my phone and had a couple of pictures that I wanted to share. The first is me and David in the hotel lobby getting ready to eat at Outback. The other picture is the jacuzzi we had in our hotel room. :frog: It was a great weekend.

Hi Nick. How is everything going in California? Thanks for stopping by the thread and saying hello

California? You'd think that I'd know, but I've travel from San Francisco to Las Vegas to Miami back to Las Vegas for over two weeks. I'm a busy boy. Any wonder why? Ha ha... But, if I've kept up my work outs then you better have kept up yours.

[NPCIN]

A jacuzzi in a hotel room, must be nice! :p

This should be a very good show. We have a new promoter for this show and he's holding it downtown at the Convention Center.

[Siouxcountry]

Does anyone have a suggestion for what they would like to see a video clip of?

A leg workout.

How about 20 reps in the squat?

[ISABELLE TURELL]

I will have to comment here. Umm leg training is out of the question for now lol.:D I am very sore from my last leg workout.

[Siouxcountry]

How about a back workout?

[ISABELLE TURELL]

its a possibility:)

[jasons805]

arm clips are always good

[NaturalNick]

"Suck it up!" Legs! No legs? Then upper back with deadlifts. Pick your poison. Never forget, pain is our friend.

[jasons805]

but then again so is rest

[Powergoddess]

Isabelle - how tall are you?

By the way - 48 oz. of steak!!! Yikes!

[ISABELLE TURELL]

[SBT]

Wowwweeeeeeeeeee way to go!!

[IslandGirl]

Holy crap! Good job Belle!!! :respect:

[NPCIN]

Isabelle just got the new HD video camera and we're starting to play around with it to figure it out. We plan on getting a lot of footage of her leading up to the USA's. We also went out to one of our covered bridges here and I took some shots of her with the camera. Here is one of the pics from the set.

[Ondrea]

Wow, great video! Thanks for that! Strong, sexy and beautiful!

[dvsness]

Sick DL vid!!!!! :bowdown:

[Lynx]

HI Lynx,

Thank you for your compliments. David has said so many wonderful things about you :)
:kiss:

Lynx...maybe Isabelle and I can come out to visit and realx with you and Dave after the USA's as I know she will be like this:daz: during her prep.haha

That would be so awesome!! :awesome: Come!!!

[EdL]

Wow awesome work Belle!!! Keep up the great work...your IFBB pro card will be awarded to you soon.:waving:

[KristineLarge]

Love the clip of you doing deadlifts...an inspiration to ALL women! :D

[Siouxcountry]

Hi Kristine! Welcome aboard! :waving:

[ISABELLE TURELL]

AWWW

Thanks everyone for the great motivation on my video clip. ;) I do have to thank David :kiss: as he pushed me to failure on those.

David took some photos for my website and they came out awesome. He just needs to work on his video taping skills lol.:p

For the first time I have to say that its so nice being with someone so supportive and fun to always be around with. I am very happy, lucky and blessed to have someone like David in my life. Good things come to those who wait and I have waited a long time lol.:D I have high hopes this year due to I am very hapy with my self and my life right now. As some of you may know last year I got out of a unhappy relationship of 5 years. I have completely turned my life around and I am very happily in love. David got me a promise ring today too.

[Betsy]

WOW.. you put shell and I's 185 to SHAMMMEEEE!! :o

Nice work-- awesome video!!!

[Powergoddess]

Isabelle, may I plant some little powerlifting seedlings in the back of your head....

[dallas3]

Major props to you Isabelle in that video, that was impressive

[ISABELLE TURELL]

Isabelle, may I plant some little powerlifting seedlings in the back of your head....

I have been wanting to get into powerlifting and even the strongwoman competitions. I talked to David a little bit about too. It would be challenging and fun to give a try. :D

[tg flex]

Okay Ms. Hercules; let's get that IFBB Pro card first! Not too many more deadlifting exhibitions until after Vegas!!! :awesome:

[ISABELLE TURELL]

LOL coach:D

That would be something that I may look into after our goal is set. We both know what my main focus is right now;). This prep is going to take a lot out of me so its 110% focus all the way to the top.:cool:

[cdogg]

good luck Isabelle, its your year

[ISABELLE TURELL]

Omg this is an awesome surprise, and really made my day.:D Is this the one and only Chris E? :respect:

How you doing Cdogg? I just have to say if it wasn't for this guy I don't think I ever would have taken my bodybuilding to the next level nationally. WE GO WAY BACK. He helped push me to my 03 Excalibur win where I flew from orlando, fl to Los Angeles, Ca just to get my national status to compete on the national level. I took the overall at the show and it was a real challenge for me. LOL. Its great when you have people around you who believe in you and what you can achieve.

Cdogg also helped push me along with my other good friend Ellen Woodley (who is an amazing person and national bodybuilder) to my 06 North American Light Heavy weight class win. I will never forget that.

The other thing I have to say is that he was a real friend to me when I was going through my tough times with my past relationship. thanks so much for everything

If your reading this Cdogg we need to have us some top shelf long islands in Vegas LOL:drunk:.

I'm still in shock and its so nice to hear from you. Tell Ellen a big Hi for me

[tg flex]

good luck Isabelle, its your year

Here, here! :awesome:

Hi Lisa! How are you? :)

[ISABELLE TURELL]

I am tired. I got my butt kicked today doing calves. Thats okay as I didn't go without a fight. ;) I do know David is going to pay for my pain and suffering tonight. lol:Dvsness 2: Training is doing good and I am seeing changes in my physique.

On another note. I am very sad. I was walking down the stairs to do my aerobics and my ipod slipped out of my hands. It took a pretty bad fall. I tried cpr and everythign else I could think of to save its life, but unfortunatly my ipod died. I love my music and can't get through those grueling cardio sessions without it. If you would like to donate an ipod please let me know. Its for a good cause lol:D. I'm going to start looking around for an ipod. I had the 60 gig video. Now I need to see what kinds of ipods/mp3 players are out there that can suit my needs.

Me and David should be posting pictures/video within the next day or two. I even thought about doing a video clip on my cheat meal as I am due for another one. Maybe I could do a challenge with eating 20 McDonalds cheeseburgers in less than 20 mins. Any other suggestions. LOL.

Trust me I can eat:angel:

[jasons805]

the burger eatting sounds funny might be cool to see. sucks about the ipod but you don't have a backup? for some reason i am watching superbad(all random lol) I wish I had a backup ipod but they are cheap now you can get one for under 200 now.

[JeffBinder]

thanks for the comments after the show! it really boosts an amateur's confidence hearing that they are doing good.

i look forward to seeing you and training with you at Union Gym.

[NPCIN]

Here's a pic of Isabelle at 15 weeks out. She had a cheat meal today. She later tried to tell me that a DQ Blizzard isn't bad for her when she decided to have another cheat meal or cheat snack as she calls it.haha Now a regular Reeces Cup Blizzard has 38 grams of fat...Isabelle had extra Reeces Cups added to her LARGE Blizzard and she also had them throw in some Oreos.:eat::eat:

[KMS]

Hey sweetness...how are you? OMG I judged my first show yesterday in Ky and it was soooo much fun. I loved it. Passed with flying colors. I was judging a natural competition. Small but so fun.

I hope you are doing great and plugging away. Thinking of you. I know I will be seeing you soon at something around here. MUAH

you were very close to my house when you hit town. I am thinking though that the w 86th street shall be my cheat place of choice to try it out. It's close to my work. LOL That good eh?

thanks for the comments after the show! it really boosts an amateur's confidence hearing that they are doing good.

Jeff, you did a good job at the show. Just keep plugging away at it. Isabelle and I train a few diferent places in town. I went to Union Hospital's gym once a while back when they moved it over from the old building. I don't believe that we'd fit in real well there.

[jasons805]

Thought this looked sorta cool.

Lets say back.

Hey Hans

Its been a while since we spoke as we used to speak very frequently. I've seen you online several times:popcorn:, and I was wondering when you were going to stop by my thread and say a nice HELLO. Its not like your a stranger:waving: I am sure you must be very busy ;)

It is so nice to see you Denise and thank you for stoping in the thread and showing some love. You have an amazing overall package. :respect:
I love the pictures on your myspace page too. :)

[ISABELLE TURELL]

Hey Sioux

My typical workout for the last two days has been pure torture as David made me work really hard........moving furniture..lol. *whew* I never worked so hard....haha. I thought I would have it easy. Boy was I wrong.:p

You may laugh at my typical back workout as I really don't do much at all and I try to keep the workout short. 3 to 4 exercises. My workouts constantly change. But a typical workout could be pull ups, seated rows, t bar rows and maybe throw in some deadlifts. I think my favorite back exercise to get the blood going would be deadlifts. My least favorite is pull ups lol.

Not laughing at all. I don't think these marathon work outs that some people do are for everyone. I imagine most people would progress more if they cut down on the sets, and exercises.

Thanks for the complements!

I had a blast at the show. I can't wait to start competing NPC. I know it's more competitive but it'll be nice being around really good athletes that take huge passion in their sports. not that the guys at ISU aren't good athletes, but we are all still on the lower ranks of the amateur level.

So you went to the new gym on the 5th floor and didn't like it? hmm, that's weird. i like it there. i feel out of all the places i've been to in terre haute that it is one of the least uptight. I can see it being kind of formal in the evenings, but during the day the trainers that workout are really nice and down to earth. Half of them were body builders previously, and the rest were athletes and now are coaches.

Stan's on the south end of town is probably still my favorite, but it's a long drive seeing that i live way up north. I am curious to know where you favor to work out. I'm not going to stalk you guys or anything but it would be nice to see isabelle working out and show some support (and of course stay out of her way!! lol)

sorry for jacking the thread, GO ISABELLE! :awesome:

[NaturalNick]

I think my favorite back exercise to get the blood going would be deadlifts. My least favorite is pull ups lol.

Deadlifts and I have a love/hate relationship. I love heavy, low rep range deadlift, but I hate lighter, high rep range deadlift. Sucks! And, I hate pull ups.

[cassierose]

Tim has really done some wonders. he has me eating a lot and I am still hungry...lol. My training is so easy this year as I cut back a lot. On top of that my cardio is breeze. I am very happy with where I am now. I get a cheat meal tomorrow...yeah:awesome: I am constantly in contact with Tim via phone,text or email. He is has so much positive energy and is sooooo passionate torwards his athletes. I am very very lucky to have him in my corner. He really has gone above and beyond for me. I get to see Tim this weekend as I am heading to Tampa Saturday for the Team BT meeting and to catch up with Tim. Its goign to be very nice to see him again.

David has also done a lot for me. i am very blessed and thankful. He makes sure I get everything I need done in the gym and hes my training partner. There are times when I just want to give him a beatdown as he really pushes me hard in the gym. He also keeps me on track making sure i am doing evrything on my diet. He makes my life so much easier as he takes very good care of me.

:respect:Wow. You look amazing. I will also be at the USA's in Figure. Good luck with the rest of your contest prep. I wish I could say I looked that good at 12.5 weeks out. Not so much!:o

[NaturalNick]

I hate pull ups too lol. I just like deaddlifts in general and I thik the best way to go is HEAVY. How is your training/dieting going?:waving:

I weighed in at an itty bitty 220 LB. yesterday, but my next competition is in 6 months. More size. More strength. More of me to go around. Keep up your hard work.

[NPCIN]

Isabelle and I just got back from Florida. We got the chance to go to the Team Body Tech meeting and see Tim and his athletes. Let me first say that I've been involved in this sport for 28 years. I've met many prep "gurus" along the way, but I'm most impressed with Tim and how he runs things. For your money, you can't go wrong with Tim as it's a steal for what you get.

Isabelle and I did make a visit to Disney World. Needless to say...a lot of people have never seen a FBB of her caliber.LOL They were probably sad to see her leave as it was probably their highest grossing day of sales in hotdogs. She kept telling me that they weren't bad for her as the hotdog was on a whole grain bun.haha

[ISABELLE TURELL]

I flew into Tampa this weekend with David as I don't do anything without my better half :). Our mission was to see My coach Tim Gardner and have him look at my physique an make his adjustments. We stayed in Clearwater, Florida as we both were very familar with the area and we both have a love for the beach.

We came in on Saturday and drove to Tim Gardners' Gym to see Tim and attend the monthly Team Body Tech meetings. Its a real treat attending his meetings as Tim is very hands on with everybody on the team. Tim was very pleased with my physique, and gave me some extra cheats. I'm suppose to start our next phase on the diet on Thursday. :p I got to tell Tims wife Brandie a big huge "thank you" as she helped me with some things and it was a girl bonding moment. :)

I got to see Diana Cook while I was down there and she is looking LEAN. Diana has a very physique and will be a pro very soon. Look out for her at her next show as she is going to be turning a lot of heads and will be tough to beat as she is very ahead of the game right now.

I got meet Darrell Terrell who has such a great shape and is HUGE. Everything with him just flows. He will be getting his pro card this year too. Marcus Haley was also there with his wife who looks great. She is competing at the Jr. USAs in figure and she is also one to watch as she is bringing a beautiful package to the stage.

I want to give a big "thank you" with a hug and kiss to David:kiss:. Its not easy dieting sometimes as it takes alot out of us. David took very good care of me on this trip. I never have had someone go out of there way for me as he has. He also has dealt with a lot of Isabelle too lol. He knows what I mean by that;) I am very grateful to have him a part of my life and my contest journey. It was very nice getting away as we needed some relaxation time. We went to the beach, Disneyworld, and cruised around enjoying our time together. On the way back home in Indianapolis we went to the Melting Pot. That was an interesting experience. I just wish they could have gave us more food lol.

Today I went to the gym and trained, and felt a little achy as I have been sick for a few days with a sore throat. Theres no fun in being sick but I have to "suck it up" and do what I need to do.

I should be giving you guys an update in the next couple of days.

What is the Melting Pot?

Is Diana in prep for the USAs?

:)

[ISABELLE TURELL]

lol I just realized David beat me to posting about our trip. :banghead: He's at work and I'm at home. haha. I guess our minds were thinking the same thing about posting except mine took me more time to write and his probably took him a few minutes. No fair it was my post first :p

[ripitupbaby]

What is the Melting Pot?

Is Diana in prep for the USAs?

The Melting Pot is a fondue restaurant...it's alot of fun and the cheese and chocolate fondues are pretty tough to beat!!

[dvsness]

Here are a few pics of Isabelle taken 12.5 weeks out while messing around in the gym.

I'm way behind, but holy... great shots on the last page!!

[tg flex]

It was an absolute treat to have Isabelle and David visit us. Sports fans, The BELLE is looking spot on for being this far out and all I can say is that Vegas is Isabelle's show, she will bring the complete package! This is only the first stepping stone for our plans this year; we will share the layed out strategy after the USA's.

I hope so! If not it will be just crazy.:nuts:

Glad to hear ya'll had a wonderful time in Florida and that you're ahead of schedule.

[ambydawn]

Oooh, the Melting Pot! I love that place! It's so romantic... my boyfriend took me there a few times back when he was still trying to impress me. :p
None of that for me though... fish is all I get right now for the most part. :pout:
Glad to hear you're ahead of schedule, and get more cheats! :awesome:

[KMS]

WOO HOO for the cheats and being ahead. Can't wait to see you soon in Indy.

MUAH

[ISABELLE TURELL]

I'm sorry I have been missing in action. :waving:
I guess you can say my typical day is train, eat, spend time with David, check in with Tim, sleep, repeat. LOL.

As some of you know I recently made a huge move and getting ready for this show is very challenging as I don't have the luxury of seeing my Coach Tim Gardner on a regular basis, and the whole change of the bodybuilding scene up here versus Florida. Not too many people are into bodybuilding up here which I am sure will change very soon. This is indeed the most challenging and rewarding prep I have ever had. I tell you more later.

I want to tell you guys a quick story that happened to me a few days ago. The other day I was going to make a couple of training videos at the gym and it turned out it was packed with people. So I couldn't capture my leg training as I wanted. David could tell I was bothered by it as I don't like to miss an opportunity especially if I am "ready to rumble". David got on me and told me that our main objective was to train legs as the gym had some equipment that I really liked. Basically he wasn't going to let me get away from training legs just becuase I couldn't get it taped like I wanted. LOL He also wasn't going to leave till I trained legs. ha ha

David is very straight to the piont and DOES NOT sugar coat things. He tells it how he sees it. Which is something I admire about him. Anyway, he made me MAD:mad: as he really laid it out to me haha. I know he always wants the best for me and hes looking out for me too especially with getting ready for the show. I told him to go do his workout and let me chill out while I train legs. Well what does he do. He sits right next to me while I'm on the leg press after I told him I wanted to chill out or be left alone. He was just sitting there watching me doing the leg press I can . He was making sure I didn't wussy out of my workout and he wanted to be my support team. Well that was very sweet but I was still mad.:p I think he wanted to inspire my workout and he did alright.

After I did a few sets I wasn't satisfied and I loaded that leg press with 26 45' plates and a 35 plate totalling 1205 lbs. I haven't gone this heavy in years and the last time I did was in 2003 when I did 30 45' plates total. I did two sets and I think I got 8-10 reps out of each set. I was too high on andrenaline at the time to remember exactly. I was very very happy as again its been a long time since I done something crazy like that.

I just want to say again that I consider myself very "lucky", "blessed", and very "grateful" to have David in my life. He is the "love of my life". It just makes all mushy and warm inside typing it:o. Prepping can be a piece of cake but at times its not easy. It can take a lot out of you mentally and physically. Its nice when you have someone that loves you for you inside and out and on top of that understands you, supports you, comforts you and looks out for you. Bodybuilding is a body, mind, and spirit connection. You really have to have the mental focus, determination, and HEART to do this sport. A true athlete knows what I'm talking about. Its amazing for me how much someone can change your life for the better as seriously this is the best prep I have ever had. My conditioning is great, training is great, dieting is....well SUPER, and life is just great in general. I am in such a great place right now and it wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for David. He is constantly on me about my cardio, training, food, sleep, and he makes sure I am on top of things. He has done a lot for me. Its an endless list. I feel like a completly new person. He brings out my best qualities. Wow.... I never had someone care so much about me as he does and he pushes me beyond my limits. He's my best friend, team mate and soul mate. I just want to tell you David that I LOVE YOU and THANK YOU for everything.

Oh and this is kinda of funny. Last night he came home from work and I was walking to go take out the trash and he walks me to the dumpster as he thinks I would get abducted lol. I thought it was so cute but funny as I think I can take care of myself. ;)

Hopefully we will have some pictures for you or maybe some video. I do have some pictures but I don't think they will come up good on here. I will have to see.

[Siouxcountry]

Thanks for the update Belle! :waving:

I can imagine what a change of scenery it is for you to move from Florida to Indiana!

[brandiewilliams]

[Lisa]
