Some of you may know I entered into the Rock 105.3 bikini calendar contest a few weeks ago. The popular San Diego radio station requested ladies to submit a sexy photo to be entered into the bikini contest. After photos were submitted, listeners, friends and family had one week to vote online for who they wanted to see in the Rock 105.3 bikini calendar (all proceeds go to the LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY) Donate here http://pages.teamintraining.org/sd/rnr13/alongf. I shared my link to vote everyday and my wonderful close friends and family did the same. The top five ladies with the most votes would get a spot in the bikini calendar with Ashlee from The Show. Long story short, I WON!!! I got a call on Monday, April 15th, letting me know I was in the top five and the photo shoot would be on Saturday, April 20th. (I almost cried and peed at the same time!). I was freaking out! I only had 5 days to get toned and tanned. Luckily, my body was already in shape but just needed a few adjustments. I Immediately started writing down a game plan to ensure I looked amazing for the calendar. Here's how it went:
1. NO Dairy, sugar, fruit, nuts, butters or salt.
2. Weights, weights and more weights. (I hit Ambition Athletics everyday http://ambitionathletics.com/)
3. Extra cardio after every training session.
4. 1 Gallon of water a day (very minimal water the day of shoot).
5. Black COFFEE.
6. MRM Protein and BCAAs
I know that sounds crazy, and everyone said "Felicia, what the hell are you eating"? I ate lean protein, veggies and small portions of sweet potatoes. I drank a ton of water and had three different kinds of gum in my purse at all times. I also drank a MRM chocolate protein shake with water every morning and continued to take my MRM BCAAs during every training session.
During my week of preparation, I got to pick out a super sexy bikini ($200) from Diane's Beachwear, free of charge. Diane's sells the sexiest bikinis! On Friday, April 19th, I took the day off from work to train for a few hours and relax before the chaos of getting ready began. I got my nails/toes done, spray tanned (awkward experience) teeth whitened and had my hair touched up. I felt ready to do the damn thing!
Day of photo shoot 4/20/13: I had to be in La Jolla by 3:30 pm for hair and makeup. Luckily, I was able to bring my support system (Holly) to keep me grounded and under control. I wasn't nervous until I stepped onto the beach. It was probably the most beautiful day of the year and in an epic location. Clear water, cliffs and a ton of surfers! After my hair and makeup was done by the beautiful Brittany Michele http://brittanymichele.com/, it was my turn to shoot! Jay Warren was the photographer http://www.7aphoto.com/ and he is nothing short of freaking awesome! I'm no model, so his help and guidance was exactly what I needed. Ashlee from "The Show" on Rock 105.3 was there to meet all the ladies and help with lighting. I love her so much (my bitch)! Ashlee is running in the Rock 'N' Roll half Marathon on June 2nd to help raise money for the LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY.
I can't wait for everyone to see the finished product! It's going to be a Damn, SEXY Calendar!

After the shoot, I went straight to Burger Lounge in La Jolla and grubbed on a huge grass fed beef cheeseburger with French fries and onion rings.
