One of my photos was posted on Bodybuilding.com!

So yesterday I wake up to a message from one of my team mates that says I am on Bodybuilding.com. I was confused because I didn't enter any contest or submit my picture for anything. Someone on there snagged one of my pics off my Bodyspace and voila...look who's #9

15 Female Physiques worth fighting for! : )

I had an awesome photographer who I did a shoot with the monday before the show. I will post two more of my favs.

 

 





5 months later!!

So much for me doing a follow up like I said I would after first show. My bad!
It was a fun summer although I completely derailed on everything. I ended up with a useless shoulder after the show. I have been going to physio and it's slowly coming around. I haven't been able to train shoulders or chest : ( My coach had intended for me to compete this fall and bring home trophies but....
I did place fourth in tall I found out a few days after April comp! Even though I did for completely personal reasons and was not there to "compete". I thought it was pretty cool : )
I also did a photo shoot the monday before the competition of which I will add here and there over the next few blogs.
I am back, because I am planning on competing again. I need to clean up diet and get some goal going while letting my shoulder heal. I made a decision to go with some new trainers. I bonded with the girl trainer back stage at my first show. She won her division AND over all. She's just an awesome person all around, so is her hubby(coach too). I am excited to get back on track and have some goals. I am such a goal orientated person.

Me bonding with my new team(although I didn't know I would be crossing over at the time) they are great and really support and motivate eachother. I am all about that. I think now matter what "team" we are all in this together. Training our butts off and we should give mutual respect for that. : )



My next post will be about an unexpected surprise I got this morning! : )

I did it!!

I DID IT!!! Don't I look proud in this pic...well, I was.

Alot I need to write about. But right now I am just decompression from this past weekends competion and all what it took leading up to it. And maybe ate a bit too much...ugh!

I want to keep this blog going so I will write more about my experience and add more pics.



Just wanted to submit something.

I, Jillian Greer, COMPETED in a Figure Competion and FORTY and am so PROUD!!! : )

One week out. WHAT!!??

How did 12 weeks out turn into 1 week out?? Where has the time gone? Hard to believe. What a crazy 3 months!! What a life changing experience!! I can't wait til after to sit down and reflect and put into words what this past 3 months has done to me. How it's changed me. Not only physically but inside as well.

Yesterday was Sarah and I's last saturday morning spin class before competition. We have been meeting sat mornings for our cardio session. This class is led by my fav instructor Nicole. She makes me laugh!



She is competing too. She is so beautiful. 38 and mother of 3!!

That is one big positive about this journey. Meeting fellow competitors who have become dear friends. We get eachother and what this takes. Going through life troubles through hard training and dieting.



Bringing the guns out

One more week Sarah and we will feel on top of the world after getting on stage and showing all of our hard work.

one....more....week......

2 weeks out!

I haven't been very good at keeping up with my blog : ( I should have been documenting all along. Where has the time gone. This is turning out to be a life changing journey and I should have documented everything. Oh well. Will try and be on it the next two weeks. That's all that's left til show time....TWO WEEKS!!!! I love taking my pics and adding quotes to them. I am motivating so many ppl and that makes this all worth it. I am starting to get a bit tired and really looking forward to getting some normalcy back in my life. Training for a competion is very time consuming when you add that on top of work and everyday life. Train, work, eat, sleep...repeat.

Two weeks out. I am sooooo proud of my shoulders. I always admired woman with "caps" and didn't think I would ever get them...but here they are. Training hard and eating clean has payed off. Love it, love it, love it!!!!

I have wanted to quit a hundred times and actually did a few weeks ago but I got back on board. I know that follwoing through and getting on that stage will be life changing for me. The girl who wouldn't even wear shorts in the summer. A new confidence is rising and I wan't to inspire other woman and let them know that they can have the body they desire if they are willing to do the WORK!!

 

Love my Muscles...wooooooooo!!

Beast Mode...ON!!!

Lest than 6 weeks out. Finally went to Dr. yesterday after breaking down into tears because I still felt so awful. No energy, legs felt like rubber, sick : ( Another bout of bronchitis. But as soon as I got penicillin into me I started to feel better!! I made up my mind that today was the day I was hitting it hard. After 2 weeks of low energy workouts it's time to give it my all.

Then....I slept only 3.5 hrs!! Frig! Going through a break-up with my guy. They say training can be tough on a relationship, especially if you are both doing it! It was a bumpy start anyways and we had some good times but it just wasn't working. Just to need to let go and get focused and SLEEP!! I am still going to give it my all during this mornings workout. I am going to will myself awake and healthier.

It's GO TIME. CAN'T STOP....WON'T STOP!!!

6 weeks out and sick : (

Coach got me to get sauna pants. This is after my second workout in them. I hold alot of fat and water in my legs, time to get that out!! My BF took this pic after workout! t was excited!! Not always easy to see the progress in yourself but this pic showed me some. Love it..love the abs. So excited about my shoulders. Always wanted the "caps" and are they ever coming : )

This pic is from last Friday night. I had a rough day(sick). My bestfriend took this pic of me first time in figure shoes. Kinda funny, I look pathetic. I am still not fully recovered. Been rough trying to get workouts in without the energy I am used to. I keep on trucking though. today I am taking a complete rest day. Not leaving house. Baking cookies for me son and they smell yummy!! None for me though, not even a nibble. BEAST MODE ON!
