Miss Massachusetts 2011
With the last post we had the delightful opportunity to touch upon the very things we hold dearest, fatty foods and expanding jeans. Truly one the greatest pastimes in American post-microwaveable meals.
So why not compliment the previous post with one about the recent Miss Massachusetts pageant?
Makes about as much sense as slicing the other three tires on your car after you’ve popped one.
How could you have one without the other? While some girls are showing off magic tricks with turkey drumsticks and canned cranberry sauce others are meticulously watching every bite of baby food and nearly puking in the gym to present that unbelievable figure. GO TEAM SKINNIES!!!
I was fortunate enough to have one of my clients in the pageant this year. She recently came off a sash victory and her odds looked very good entering the 2011 Miss Mass.
She trained hard within the studio confines of Robert Belley Fitness. We even did supplemental workouts at a high school track and she trained on her own near nightly at another gym for her cardio and ab work. She was determined.
Not to mention liquid diets, abstinence from alcohol most weeks, no foolish carbs and lots of blueberries.
She did a great job and lost a number of pounds you would’ve been hard pressed to find on her before we started training. Her beauty was already world-class prior to our sessions: very fit and lean. But at this level, it takes a bit more to stand on stage among the best of the best Massachusetts has to offer.
The last Miss Mass to win Miss America was 2003. So it’s been a while since one has been the best of the best of the best in this great country.
But alas, she looked amazing in her red swimsuit, and elegant and gorgeous in her evening gown. Both were a smash with the audience and judges. She landed herself a position as a semi-finalist. Can you guess which one she is here?
So who brought the cool kid?
These girls were total smoke-shows!
Their bellies were amazing, not to mention their resumes. These girls were totally polished and accomplished. Before training my client, I had no idea how intelligent these girls were or how much they had accomplished in their careers so early: total blend of beauty and brains.
I can see why most girls hate these girls. They try a little harder than most others at career, appearance, community and self-improvement. Most people in general are not fans of those attributes.
They’d rather hope something falls into their laps and happens for them rather than making it happen and actually earning it.
Sad but true.
And with dieting and fitness, these girls are usually multifaceted athletes, with strict eating plans, and little sleep, balancing a career at the same time while training near 2 structured hours daily, and with holding from eating chips, cookies, pasta, anything from a box and consuming near only protein through powders, fresh meats and seafood.
It’s truly remarkable how much they handle for one night to impress.
And once that level is reached, they must work even harder to impress at the national level. And if that goes through, F%$#, the world level is insane!
But I’ll tell you, there’s something fascinating about watching very attractive women sweating, exhausting themselves, growling and near puking while still smiling and asking “What’s next?”
I love it and can’t wait to start the training regime for 2012!
So we can all learn something from this:
Sitting down = FAT
Eating MOST packaged foods =FAT
Not working intelligently and disciplined = FAT
Unstructured/non-goal oriented training = FAT
Not being athletically minded = FAT
Oversleeping = FAT
On the other hand:
Applying oneself = HOTT
Time management = HOTT
Being Active ALL DAY = HOTT
Training with PURPOSE = HOTT
Eating only what you NEED = HOTT
Dead lifting more than yourself = HOTT
Being a selfless and great person = HOTT
Trying to be better than someone = HOTT
Focusing on the athletic task at hand = HOTT
Accepting pain IS normal to the process = HOTT
Bringing awareness to help less fortunate = HOTT
Being quietly confident and assured of self = HOTT
Not complaining about your self-created-life =HOTT
Being lovely, elegant, assertive, emphatic, driven = HOTT
Training like a badass, laughing at imposed challenges = HOTT
Motivating people to be better versions of themselves = HOTT
Having the means to make others self-reflect without a word = HOTT
Live the dream,
Rob Belley
