[*Bunny*]

My brief intro.






Sometimes, you must retrace your steps ...






In order to find your way again.....

My name is Amanda Victoria. My friends do call me Bunny, and oddly enough Mandi. I usually only let a few people call me Amanda these days, when I clearly remember it being the opposite growing up. I wouldn't answer to Mandi unless it was my soccer coaches or my father.

I am not sure if I am still trying to add LBM or cut for a show. There is nothing set in stone as far as anything goes right now, and if you know me, you know this is something I do not take lightly.

My number one goal has ALWAYS been and will continually be health. I am blessed for any other positive 'thing' that comes to me because of my lifestyle choices. I do not use aas, var, clen, anti estrogens etc. If you do, sweet, please do it safely & responsibility.


I am a cancer survivor. It's strange to hear myself say that out loud, then again why am I talking to myself all the time these days, and why in a British accent?

Ulter and Mac were lucky enough for me to enter their lives back in 2004, I believe the END of the year, when I was looking for a supplement or supplements to help me lose the fat I had put on after my treatment was over. I am not sure how much fat weight, but back then I was a scale nymph, so +50 lbs was kind of a big deal.

I believe my 1st purchase was the UFR kit and to follow numerous questions about the safety of supplements and my health situation. Of course, NONE of my doctors liked the fact I was using anything other than a multi.

I even printed out all literature on what I was taking, sometimes with the help from Ulter to give my docs for their files, so they knew basically everything going in my body. I've thanked him enough to last me at least 3 lifetimes, but I'll say Thank you again Ulter for your help all these years in case you forgot, you've got a lot on your plate these days as well. I have YET to find ANY company to even come close to this kind of personalized service, and why I do them so.

I cut down to my lowest scale weight , 138, back in April of 05. I'm 5'9, SO I will never see that weight again with this muscle (voluntarily) without hacking off a limb, but I will tell you I was very happy at the time. And HUNGRY!. That backless pic above is from my first photo shoot, I weighed in at 138, 11-12% bodyfat. My lower body was NOT as lean as my upper or I would dispute that reading. I'm more educated on bodycomp these days, thank the lawd.

Rewind to Jan 05, I stopped looking at the scale when I saw it hit 180+. I officially got it down to I THINK 171 ish when I started my 'lifetime journey' to a healthy Bunny, Jan 26th 2005. First reading was 28% bf, but later in that month if I remember correctly I started at 26% 171. Much great progress in that 12.8 weeks.


Since then, I've bulked back up to 180+ , changed my training (and eating) and added some nice LBM. This is 2005 vs 2006 back. 2007 below these

It was not by any means easy for me to lean back out with the added muscle, I was always hungry, i.e. I had more MUSCLE that needed to be fed!!!

Eventually I got back down to 12-13% before deciding to go one more round with bulking, and those photos are the 14 week progression I posted on my myspace account on my 'cardio based' contest prep. If you want to see my progress during that 14 weeks, then continuing on to my 2nd show in July click Here.

Sample

I am now able to compete In National Level shows. I think that is pretty cool. I do look at these pictures and think I cannot believe that is me... ALL of them.

I am not a supermodel, I never wanted to be a fitness model, I have been told I am not photogenic, I am still shocked I got on stage and faced one of my biggest fears, but the best thing was seeing them in the front row, smiling and hearing my father tell me how proud he was of me.

So that is all for now, I will unlock this for posting.

Is it Friday yet??
