Vicki Royer Before & After

 

I have come so far from where I started I met Ben in 1992 we were 16 and back then he was already competing in bodybuilding. I have learned so much over the years watching him get ready for shows etc. I always wanted to get in really good shape back then but I wasn't committed to it.
Years went by I always worked out and ate ok but was never very consistent when it came to the training or the nutrition so I never really got anywhere.
In November of 2004 we went to watch a bodybuilding show and I was blown away by the figure girls! That's what motivated me to want to compete in my first show. I set my goal for a show that April I worked really hard and make alot of progress in 5 months I went from 144lbs and competed at 123lbs. I was so proud of myself for finally sticking to my goal,it was such a rewarding feeling. I placed 4th out of 8 girls and I was thrilled not about the placing but about accomplishing my goal :)
Even after that show I struggled with my weight I would stick around 140 and I finally had enough..
In 2007 Ben was getting ready for a show I decided to do the contest prep right along with him my goal was to get to 120 so i worked really hard ate super clean and when the show came around I was 119.5 a half a pound under my goal :)


After that show both Ben and I stuck to clean eating 24/7 we realised how much better we felt all around. I have maintained my weight since 2007 and have learned so much I competed again in 2009 at the Yorton Cup a National show and placed 3rd out of 9 girls in the Open Tall class weighed in at 117lbs. I worked so very hard and came so far from my first show it was amazing! I have never been so proud of myself. Hard work does pay off and it is so rewarding for your soul when you give it all you've got!
This has been a long journey but I learned how strong I am, I learned I can do anything! I have committed to a healthy lifestyle and I'm loving the results I have never felt better!

When I first started out I did 30 minutes of moderate cardio everyday that's right 7 days a week I did lower impact cardio to focus on my weights more I wanted the fat loss to be slower and something I could maintain. Once I reached my goal weight and continued with the clean eating I changed to doing cardio everyother day. My woorkouts consist of alot of higher reps so my workouts are almost like a cardio session I'm usually always soaked this makes it nice because I do not want to spend my life on a tredmill. This is what has worked great for me and I have now maintained 3 pounds from my competition weight which is awesome!!

November 2009 Yorton Cup 3rd place Open Tall Class

Training for this contest was full of alot of hard work and focus and it  was so worth all I learned about myself during the process.I learned how  tough I am mentally and physically. I now feel I can accomplish anything I set out for! There's no prouder feeling then giving it all you have the.....pushing through when it gets really tough the payoff  is priceless!
