I am SUPREMELY irritated with this blog app I'm using from my phone to write this post. So now I will be as brief as possible before I end up throwing my phone out the window.
Tomorrow I start preparing for a bikini competition! I am 7 months out! Pretty excited. It's going to be extremely challenging, but I feel up to it. I am at the point now where I am knowledgeable enough to safely go through the prep for the competition. I won't be using a trainer, just flying by the seat of my pants.
Two years ago if someone would have told me I would be starting prep for a bodybuilding competition, I would have laughed in their face and reached for the Wendy's Double Bacon Cheeseburger I had probably been eating. A year ago, I would have still laughed, but reached for an apple instead. Today I feel like I actually have the mental toughness to achieve these goals.
Pictures and measurements will be taken tomorrow and I will be taking them every 30 days to mark my progress. I have also bought a journal in which to document everything I can possibly think of. I will discuss my supplementation, nutrition, and workouts in future posts. I have spoken to a few people and their support has helped me make this decision more final.I am extremely grateful for all of the support I have already received from those around me, for their kind words by far drown out the "haters" or whatever it is you would like to call them.
I may be made fun of for doing this, or be doubted that I can actually accomplish it, but this competition is for me. It's for me to step my game up, to lean out and be ready for summer. And to prove to myself that I have the strength to do so. I'm ready to meet my goals- and crush them! Here we go!
