Improved posing significantly.2024: Two shows after a 12-week cut, placed 4th in both, including the competitive Republic of Texas show.Lessons Learned & GoalsKey takeaway: Stay consistent with diet and training, no cheating if you want results.Big goal: Earn a Pro Card, grow during the offseason, and continue competing.Key Changes & Support SystemBest improvement: Followed the plan diligently, hired expert posing coaches (Lauren Dannenmiller or Bec from Posing School).Suit color: Aquamarine, perfectly complemented her skin tone.Transitioned careers from photography to vet tech.Training & NutritionCardio peaked at 2 hours/day.Follows a meal plan without focusing on calorie count for better mental adherence.MindsetFocus on enjoying the stage experience rather than obsessing over placing.Accepts the subjectivity of the sport; success requires patience and persistence.Cautions against gambling with shows or coaches—find a reliable support system.Closing MessageEmbrace the journey, celebrate progress, and remain disciplined—it's a marathon, not a sprint.Follow IG: https://www.instagram Welcome to Cupcakes & Protein Shakes, the podcast that gives you the tools and inspiration you need to achieve your fitness and wellness goals.

Whitney is the driving force behind the Lean Life Challenge, a 90-day health journey that I recently embarked on and found it transformative for my eating and exercise goals. Owner of Pro Physiques, Whitney has been competing professionally since 2010. At 34 years old Whitney competed at a local Arizona show as an amateur. From there, she moved up the ranks to compete at a National Level and in less than 1 year, received her Pro Card establishing herself as an IFBB Fitness Pro. She has now competed in a total of 35 Pro Shows, always placing in the top 10 in the world.  Whitney is a single mom to two amazing teenagers and the first-ever mom to hold an Olympia title. “This has provided me with an amazing platform to help inspire women of all ages to continue to pursue their dreams without putting limitations on themselves,” she says. In this fantastic podcast, Whitney and I talk about the importance of counting your macros and why knowing what you put into your body directly affects the output in your life. Whitney shares the secrets to living healthier, how to enjoy the grind of a healthy lifestyle and stresses why balance is key to your long-term success.

Uber Eats Pro Card, while it states it is free, the statement is misleading. The card is free to directly load from your Uber earnings on to the Uber Pro Card. But it is not free to transfer funds to an alternative account. In fact, it is very expensive, costing $2.99 per transfer. That means if you transfer money once a day for an entire month. you are losing nearly $90 per month to transfer your funds! https://medium.com/@gameandcompute/uber-eats-pro-card-experiences-and-expectations-ce40f483a485?sk=28d879f5492001aa846e454d687b3277
