		<description><![CDATA[Natalie - Sorry for my delayed reply.  THANK YOU for you kind words.  To answer your question, no, I didn&#039;t have a trainer for my competition prep.  On average, I spent about an hour at the gym.  Towards the end (last two weeks or so) I did a some extra cardio to try to help burn off a little more fat that brought my total exercise time those two weeks to 1.50-2 hours a week.  The strict diet was the hardest part for me but it certainly wasn&#039;t impossible or miserable just challenging.  Although figure competing isn&#039;t &quot;my thing&quot; it was a great experience and I don&#039;t regret doing it at all.  I may in the future do another show for fun.

Thanks for stopping by!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I loved seeing your pictures and reading your story. You look amazing. I have has similar struggles with yo yo dieting and have for the past 10 months started to change my life. It is such a blessing and I can totally relate with your feelings and story.  I am still exploring your blog so forgive me if you have already talked about this, but did you have a trainer that helped you get ready to compete?  How much time do you spend in the gym? I have always thought it would be exciting and fun to do something like that but I don&#039;t know much about it.  I&#039;d love to learn more! thanks! natalie]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hope you are having a great relaxing last official summer of 2009 :-) I have never been to a LJS&#039;s! There is one at a mall nearby but it&#039;s the food court and I always make a bee-line for Rubio&#039;s. Will have to give it a go one of these days ...]]></description>
