June 29, 2012 1 month in!

Well here I am, 1 month into my dieting/training for my figure competition. What a month it's been. All I can say is this takes a tremendous amount of work, focus, determination and will....did I mention focus? :) The 1st week I was trying to get accustomed to my workouts and my eating plan. Once that happened I got myself into a routine of prepping my foods into small containers for the week. So basically Sunday is my day to organize for the upcoming week. That is half the battle!

My body responded pretty quickly to my higher caloric intake. My metabolism was kind of wrecked for several reasons but it is now back on track.  Oh how I would love to partake in the summer festivities but I have a job to do...and that is to get onstage and rock it!!

I still can't believe this is happening for me! I'm so thankful to have found a wonderful coach to guide me along the way. I'm also very thankful to my fiancee Scott for all his support as he has been through this and knows what I am going through.

Making dreams come true is priceless! I am certainly going to take this process in and enjoy EVERY step of the way!

I'll blog again in a few weeks and maybe even post some pictures of my hard work.

Be well everyone!

June 8, 2012 Day 1 of my Figure Competition Journey

Today I met with my new coach Glenn and signed a contract with G-Force to compete in my first figure competition. I'm SO excited!! My dreams are finally going to come true. I remember in 2006 saying I would love to compete. Some things like fear, lack of knowledge of the sport and proper guidance got in the way.

Do I have a long road ahead of me? Yes! But that's ok, I'm up for the challenge!

 Things are meant to be when the time is right. 

I feel NOW is my time, well......here goes. Stay tuned!
