Where To Start?

My name is Lisa Lutz, and I am an IFBB/NPC Amatuer Bikini Competitor. I started competing this past May and won my first show and placed 7th in my height class at NPC Team Universe in July and 3rd at NPC Nationals in Cleveland, OH in September. It has been a roller-coaster of a ride, including losing almost 30 lbs, and tackling 3 shows in 6 months (both first time achievements).

I am currently in my so-called "off-season," but for me that means building up my lower body (glutes, quads and hamstrings) and learning how to eat clean and enjoy it. See -- there really isn't an off-season for figure, bikini, or fitness competitors. To maintain your physique you have to maintain the diet and the training. I currently feel like I am stuck in a vortex, do I indulge (knowing that my next show isn't until June) or do I reign it in and stay focused so that I don't undo what I have accomplished with my physique thus far. UGH!!!! Such a mental mind struggle. I have decided to cronicle my up's and down's on this blog as I try for my pro-card in 2011. So, stay tuned!
