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!
