An EPIC FIGURE Spotlight! Welcome to Peak WEEK!

I am proud of all of my clients this season! Every competitor has put in at least 12 grueling weeks of training and dieting. I just wanted to take the opportunity to SPOTLIGHT one of my posing clients.

After 8 short weeks of hour long, weekly, posing sessions, I believe she's a definite ROCKSTAR!

Only  four short days to go!

Epic Figures is proud of you and you are for sure an EPIC FIGURE!

Tear up the stage this weekend girlfriend! XOXOXOXOXOX

Stage pictures and results to follow after this weekend :)

Brides R' US TOO!

That's right! Definition Fitness/ Epic Figures has love for the brides too! DF-EF is more than just a training group of figure competitors and body builders! In fact we have had our share of brides this season as well.

First to tie the knot was ROMINA "Romi" Tonucci, a long time client of mine. Romi is an avid runner with complaints of "lack of booty-dom". Romi loves to run, but unfortunately this leads to her "losing girth " in her posterior region. Romina was having a beautiful destination wedding in Aruba and wanted to make sure she looked amazing for her wedding dress and for the beach. Romi was able to achieve that and more! In addition to being and amazingly beautiful bride, she was also able to achieve a personal best for the Soldier Field ten mile run. She ran it in 1h:24m or 8:26min per mile average. Romi comments, " I couldn't have done it without ya!"Her next goal is to run the rock n roll half marathon in august in 8min/mile. 
Romi is a hard, focused athlete in the gym and outside of the gym. When she trains, she comes to work!
Congrats Romi! Loves ya XOXOXOXO!

Reflections: 5 days out from Jr Nationals!

PHOTO TAKEN 6/9/11-7 DAYS OUT FROM NPC JR NATIONALS

It's 5 days out from NPC Junior Nationals in Chicago, Illinois , it's 1am and I am wide awake like it's the night before Christmas! I'm tired, I have to get up super early, something is telling me to take my butt to bed but I am beaming with excitement.
After a successful season of state shows thus far, I feel more prepared to tackle the National stage. My support network has grown in ways I've never imagined. I have met some truly incredible people and have gotten the opportunity to work with the best. I know that I have given 100% effort and I have already won even though I haven't stepped on the stage. The work is done, the rest is just a "show and tell".
This prep has had its ups and downs as they all do. One day I'm Rocky Marciano, the next day I feel like a washed up Mike Tyson; always ready for a fight, but lacking the motivation to put in the work. Thanks to my strong network of family and friends, it has been hard trying to stay down for any 10-count. I hear them echoing in my ear "Get up girl!" "Fight" " You Trippin, really Chaya?"
I have been blessed, stressed at times, but eternally blessed. My family is wonderful, my friends are wonderful and my relationship is building. It's an exciting time and my life is taking a new shape.
As I enter in to this final competition of the year, I'll remember that the work has already been done. Have fun, rock the stage and SHOW OUT!!!!

LEGGO.

2011 NPC MIDWEST OPEN FIGURE OVERALL CHAMPION!

Chaya Boone

What an incredible start to the 2011 Contest Season! I have to say it really was an incredibly, well- run show and I would do it again in a heart beat! It was awesome to compete next to my homegirl Brittany Ramsey who took First Place in Figure Short!

Go Britt-Britt!

Brittany Ramsey (1st place Figure Short) and Chaya Boone (1st place Figure Tall/ Overall Winner)

It was just an amazing experience from start to finish! I had a host of friends and family to drive all the way to Iowa to support me. It was all very overwhelming and unexpected. I couldn't and I still can't thank everyone enough. I had a fabulous victory dinner at the most perfect restaurant DUCK CITY (shout out to Chef Charles)! I had the most exquisite Paella and luxuriated in one glass of Merlot. The one glass took me about one hour to finish and I was REEEEEEEELLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXED!

DUCK CITY of Davenport, IA

Chef Charles of Duck City

 I am just sincerely happy that everything went on without a hitch from start to finish! Everything was hand selected in preparing for this contest. Everything from:

 My Suit by Competitive Edge

My nails

My hair (by Tracy and some Poor Malaysians named "Remy" and "Yaki:") and Makeup (by Yana Brittney)

and last but not least

My NOW MISSING TEAM JACKET :(

But that's ok! My NEW jacket is already ordered and on it's way!

 Many thanks to my wonderful family who have supported me through thick and thin, mommy, daddy, yan-yan, auntie, monie, meya, nique, nini, danni and more

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO MY GOON SQUAD aka the only two MARRIED men that I will listen to besides my dad!

Half man/ Half Beefcake

NPC Nationally Ranked Bodybuilder/ Future Pro and Trainer Extraordinaire

Dr. Willes Ko of Ko Wellness and Rehab

And the Smartest man with the driest sense of humor besides my own that I know and (((heart))) until he says something crazy that sends me into overdrive

Erik Ledin of Lean Bodies Consulting!

(can I get a rear lat spread and calf spike?)

Check back for my weekly update on Sunday and you can find me BACK on the stage in
