Great pics Maria! Love the first one!

I would resize them and post them for you, but I have already run over my pic posting limit on this board. I need to talk to someone about that.

The only other way you can post them is to host them on a site like imageshack.us and paste the link in between [img] and [/img]

It's been a while since I've been on here! I sort of got lost. LOL Well I'm 12 weels out from the IFBB Women's World Championships in Italy in Oct 16-19.

Training is under way and so is the diet!!! I've had to manipulate my diet again. For some reason the same diet doesn't always work on me throughout all my competition prep. It seems to adapt to it to easily so I always have to mess with it. It's a good thing I know my body so well!!!

I did get an injury at the sterno-clavicular joint in the chiropractor's office, ironically. One small movement and BAM pain! It took a good 6 weeks of treatments for it to heal. I worked around it and was still able to train but now it's better and it's swing with training again.

Just stay healthy and injury free and all will be good!!!

Well, time has flown by very quickly! I decided to compete in the CBBF Canadian National Bodybuilding Championships. I am now the 2009 Canadian National Middleweight Champion!!! I also placed 3rd in a very competitive masters class out of 14 women! And to top it off I also won the best poser award! Two Canadian titles and 2 best poser awards! I'm pretty happy about that!

I'm 6 weeks out from the IFBB Women's World Championships in Italy. So back hard at work to sculpt and refine my physique!!

The 2009 IFBB Women's World Championships was quite an experience! I can now say I have competed in every class there! LOL In 2003 I was in the middleweight class. Then a year or 2 later they eliminated the middleweight class, so in 2007 I competed in the heavyweight class and now this year I made it into the lightweight class! Amazing physiques there and to be standing on stage with them is an honour!! I placed a respectable 11th. I would have liked to make top 10. Maybe next time.

I have one more competition this year to finish off my season which is the IFBB Masters/Juniors World Championships in 2 1/2 weeks. This will be an open class of women over 35 years of age. So once again back to the gym hard at work with the cardio, weights and diet!!
