Snagged My Pro Status at
the OCB Kekoa Classic Hawaii
I obtained my Pro Card in July 2024 at the OCB Kekoa Classic Hawaii. This was my second show ever and a brand-new Federation for me (my first show was with NPC).
I flew solo to Oahu Hawaii, and it was my first time ever on this beautiful island. I was competing against a bunch of ladies who seemed to have brought their entire support system (friends and family) with them. Seriously, where's my entourage?!
Anyway, was I nervous? Absolutely! But at the same time it was scarily exciting because it pushed me to develop techniques both on and off the stage to improve my showmanship (things I cover in more detail in my e-book).
The whole process was an incredible journey and learning experience solidified my passion for this sport. Despite the fierce competition, I still managed to snag 1st place in the 35+ Master's Class. So, in a nutshell: Veni, Vidi, Vici. I came, I saw, I conquered.
Mahalo!!
My Sweet Collab with Decadent Dessert NM
During my escapades at a couple of bodybuilding shows, I couldn't help but notice the competitors backstage eagerly eating sweets and other things. Knowing what I know now, I can understand why. Their bodies were going through a cut for their time on stage and were depleted.
By the time you get to this point, it is understandable that you would be craving something enjoyable like a cookie. However, in this sport, it is important to go through what we call 'reverse dieting'. In short, you don’t want to backpedal on your offseason calories too quickly after a show, otherwise you risk having a massive and drastic fat gain, and you don't want that.
This got me thinking, “what if I could design a treat that competitors could enjoy either before or after their show?” This is where the concept of the 'Flexibuff Protein Cookies' was born. From there I sought to align myself with someone who could not only share my vision but also help bring it to life. That’s where I found Leilani of Decadent Desserts NM. I am very much detail-oriented and I really enjoy looking at her work. I felt like she was the right person to collaborate with.
After a few late nights composing an email, re-reading it, and debating whether to shoot her the email, I finally hit 'send'. And I'm glad I did! Her response was like a sugar rush of positivity!
Long story short, we've been hard at work, and we're nearing the finish line of our delicious masterpiece! Soon, we'll be sampling our new product with our local military community. So, keep your taste buds on standby by the official launch of this delectable creation!
