You’ve seen the workouts, you’ve studied Jorie’s diet, now let’s see what she has to say about where she’s going:

Throughout this first week, it’s been amazing how good it feels to be in the gym with an end goal in mind. I aim to compete in April 24th in an expo called Fitness Atlantic, an event that encompasses Figure, Fitness, Muscle and Bikini competitions. The Expo is produced by Brian Cannone, once a competitor himself. Viewing the website, it seems Fitness Atlantic is quite the production. I even recognize big names of competitors who have competed here when they started off. This being my first go, I have no idea if this show might be too big for me.

I decided to research and found few other events in the area. One is the OCB EASTERN REGIONAL on April 10, 2010 in Owings Mills, MD. From what I could gather there was a debut , novice, and an open figure category. I wasn’t able to gather a lot of extenuating details on the competition, but it definitely appears a smaller production than Fitness Atlantic.

I also took a look at Mr./Ms. Virginia that takes place on the 17th in Petersburg, VA. They have a novice, and a open figure section as well. I will have to call the number listed to see what information I can obtain – although, I can’t say I’m exactly sure what questions I’m asking.

Alongside of checking my diet and critiquing my routine, I’m really going to have to decide on a competition that is right for me. All the hard work and discipline I’ll be putting into training will likely be better with a goal in mind! I may need suggestions and help here folks!

I’ve also decided to take progress pictures tomorrow (I need one more cardio session before this!) Don’t hold your breath, this next post of pics might be bad! But I have to start somewhere!

I have a rough week one of diet and workouts. We’ll see if I’m headed down the right path thus far!
