August 2, 2012, 12 weeks out!

Well here I am, 12 weeks until showtime! Training is going awesome, I log my workouts and I look back and am amazed at the strength I have gained since the beginning of June! I only want to continue getting stronger. I have my own personal goals..I'm sort of in competition with myself :)

Last Monday I started going back to the gym in the late afternoon for more cardio which is making me hungrier in between meals. Ugh, there are days I just dream about a certain food and can't wait for the next time I get a cheat meal. But, until then I'm continuing to embrace my meal plan. 

I've learned alot about myself these last 2 months. I'm stronger than I ever thought possible and I don't mean physically, I mean mentally. I have never wanted something bad enough and I dig deeper with each passing day knowing that as each day passes I get that much closer to being onstage. There is no room  for error and no room for failure! No more meltdowns, no more self-doubt. To believe is to achieve....I recite that line in my head more times in a day than I have in my lifetime.

Well it's time to put on my show shoes and practice my posing. I'll be able to order my suit 8 weeks out! Whew this is all really happening, the butterflies just grew a bit bigger :)

Be well everyone and go chase that dream of yours!
