Get to know me Q & A

2012-02-01T23:17:00.002+01:00

I got some questions and I saved them up for a Q&A-blog. Get to know me better!

If you got a question, tweet of email me and maybe you will see your question answered in the next Q&A-blogpost.

Q: Do you have any other hobbies besides training?

A: Yes, I love carp angling! My husband and I try to go at least once a year to go to France on a fishing vacation.

Q: Where do you do most of your training?

A: At the moment, just plain and simple at home. We have a treadmill at home en some free weights, so I can do basic exercises for all muscle groups. This way it is very easy for me to train when Isis is doing her beautysleep J

Q: Which contest will be your comeback?

A: I don’t have a particular contest in mind. My first goal is getting my off season shape back after my pregnancy, from there on I will build to a contest.

Q: Do you have a sponsor?

A: No I don’t. All things needed for my sport are provided by myself.

Q: Are you going to show pictures during your prep?

A: I will, when I feel time is right. When I reach my first goal, I will post a before and after picture!

There goes another week

2012-01-29T14:01:00.003+01:00

Another week has passed and this morning it was already time for my weekly scales moment...

In my last prep blog I wrote that my weight at that time was 159 pounds. So what would it be this week??

Well...today my is 154 pounds! I was very pleased to see that I can tell you! It motivated me so much and that means that I have 22 pounds to go to reach my first goal to my must wanted 132 pounds :-)

Well that's it for now, I going to enjoy my Sunday with my husband and daughter!

My prep so far...hasn't gone very well..

2012-01-24T14:07:00.004+01:00

My preparation for my comeback so far, isn't working out quite as well as I hoped it would go, to be honest.

First our little girl and my husband got a heavy case of the flu, so I had to be at home a lot to take care of Isis. Then....when I started my 12-week fat shredding programme ;-) to loose my extra weight from the pregnancy, I myself got the flu and developed laryngitis...

At first it was very hard to accept for me, because I just got my motivation in the right place to start the long road to my competition comeback and this felt like taking not 2 but 3 steps back...
Also it's became very obvious to me, that my body and hormones are still recovering of my pregnancy and giving birth. Especially holding fluids when it comes to nutrition is a critical point and when training my inner thighs I still experience weakness and irritation from time to time, so I have to be carefull with that.

So, as you can imagine, I was a bit nervous to step on the scales again last Sunday and was afraid of the outcome, because I didn't had many time to train in the past weeks. I started out with a post pregnancy weight of 163 pounds and last Sunday I weighed 159 pounds. Not drastic weightloss, but no weight gain either :-)

My first goal is to reach my pre pregnancy weight/off season weight of about 132 pounds. Hopefully everything goes well and I will reach this in weeks from now, so that's around April 15th.

From there I wil start the next phase of my preparation and hopefully I will see my dream to step out on the stage again come true around the fall later this year... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this and I'm going to work very hard to achieve this goal :-)

xoxo

Happy new year!!

May all your dreams come true in 2012!!!

Short break

2011-12-28T11:44:00.002+01:00

Hi everyone,

Hope you had a nice christmas with your family and close ones...

We celebrated Isis her 1st christmas, so it was very special for us.

But Isis had a bad case of the flu, the last 2 weeks, so I had to take a short break of training, to, ofcourse, take care of her. I'm talking lots of night awake and that sort of things...

In a few days the year 2011 will be behind us and 2012 is here. I'm wishing you a healthy, happy and succesful 2012!!!

I know what my goal will be for 2012.....making my comeback to the stage!!!!

xoxo

Pure hapiness...

First week...difficult!

2011-11-15T12:51:00.001+01:00

Time to give a little update on how things are going...

I now have the first week of training and also working left behind me. Man...that was difficult...

A new routine with taking Isis to daycare or grandparents, go to work, do my housework, fitting

in my training and nutrition and a dozen of other things...

Weighed myself yesterday and the result...161 pounds. A slow but nice beginning!!

I'm not going to change anything yet, just working on my new daily routine to make things go smoothly :-)

I'll check back with you soon!!

xoxoxo

Setting my goals!

2011-11-06T09:18:00.004+01:00

As you all know, it is my ultimate wish to step out on the figure stage again... Well now it's time to make a plan and set my goals.... and start a very long contest prep to reach my best shape ever.

Hopefully I'll step out on the stage again around fall 2012!!

Due to my pregnancy I now weigh a (for me) shocking 163 pounds, where normally off season I weigh between 132 and 137 pounds. So my first goal is very obvious I think, get back to my off season and pre pregnancy shape and I'm setting my standard high, so I'm going for the 132 pound to begin with!

As of tomorrow I'm starting a diet as if I was in the last 3 months of a contest prep. This means low carb, mainly protein for me.

I don't breastfeed our daughter, so a diet isn't a problem for that matter!

For training I will do a morning cardio session of 30 minutes and an evening cardio session of 30 minutes followed by ab crunches 50 reps. As for weight training, I will do a upper body circuit training 2 times a week and for my legs I will design a plyometrics training.

I'm still a little cautious with hardcore leg training, because of my natural labor, just 14 weeks ago..

These are the plans for now. I'm starting my office job again tomorrow also, so I'm very curious if all this can be combined with being a mom to Isis, working, managing my household and websites...

Also I'm going to fine tune my strategy as time passes by and I'm going to give you all regurlarly updates on how things are working out for me. So....stay put and check back with me from time to time :-)

It´s been way too long...

2011-10-09T14:42:00.006+02:00

I know, it´s been way too long...

On July 31st I gave birth 4 weeks early to a healthy and beautiful baby girl, Isis Noa Boer! Isis is named after the ancient Egyptian goddess.

My husband and I feel very blessed and as you´ll all understand, we took some time to celebrate, enjoy and getting used to being a new family.

xoxo Patricia

Baby on board!

Hi everyone,

I know...it's been like forever since my last update. Shame on me!!

But have I got some exciting news for you this time. The bad news is that my planned comeback at the Dutch Nationals this year won't happen... The good news is the reason for this...

At this moment I'm three months pregnant with our first child. My husband and I are very excited and above all thankfull for this!!
So..in August we will become parents...Yeajjj!!

As for my training and nutrition, ofcourse this is still an important part of my lifestyle, because I want to stay as fit and healthy as possible during my pregnancy... So I want to keep you updated on how everything goes.

As for competition plans... It is still my wish, to do one final competition and my husband and I are certain, that the opportunity will come next year!!

That's it for now! Stay fit and healthy!

Plans made, let's get it started!!

2010-09-29T09:24:00.002+02:00

So in the past weekend I've made some changes in my diet and my training...

As for my nutrition I added a bit more carbs for some more energy.

Training is going to be a bit different. I'm going to incorporate more plyometrics. Things I really want to work on are my shoulders, create some more width in my back, for the nice V-shape and ultimate goal is absolutely more separation in my legs!!! Very, very important for my improved physique!!

As for cardio, everyday a 45 min. session!

It's been way to long

2010-09-26T11:52:00.004+02:00

Hi everyone!

I know... It's been way to long since you heard from me! As you all know I was very busy with my finance degree. Well, I've failed some exams and now I'm following eveningclasses to get these right.

So I've had a year off in terms of competing and right now I'm very anxious to get up stage again! This fall is a bit too soon I think, because the next time I'll be on stage I want to present my bestest physique ever! So I'm going to focus on spring 2011 to compete again.

Also I'm working with my first client in preparation for her first competition, als spring 2011. Stay tuned for this!

So everyone follow me on my journey to my next competition and stay tuned for more news!!

Spring 2010

2010-02-23T14:24:00.012+01:00

This spring I won't be on stage to compete.

After my switch from fitness to bodyfitness and my last competition, the IFBB European Championships at Bratislava, Slovakia, I've decided to take a break and to focus on getting my degree in Business Administration & Accountancy. June will be packed with exams for me.

I will do my best en try to visit some competitions.
