Today was day 1(push-ups), and despite lack of sleep and running  a fever; I was excited and optimisstic. Did a warm-up set of 50 early in the day to get my body ready. Went to the gym and stretched, did a warm-up set of 20. I was ready to go!

The trainer came with a 2in thick blue pad and explained the rules. These were gonna be perfect push-ups, chest touching the pad; each rep= 1 point. Simple enough. I got set and went for it. 68reps:(  Well, it’s not bad, but not great either…I don’t know the other scores(they won’t say) but I feel like I’m not off to a good start at all and I’ll have to play catch up.

Carla said I should feel proud, because I’ve accomplished so much in and out of the gym. But really, maybe I should feel HUMBLE…I’m really nothing special. Seriously. Yes, I have come a ways, but I still have a LONG way to go as a bodybuilder and a powerlifter. And I do look good at my comp weight, but so do most men and women;  many of them blow me right out of the water! I look at all the cuts and vascularity and hardness, and start feeling pleased w/ myself and it’s been making me overconfident. Truly, I am nothing special…my success thus far and any success I may have is a credit to what Jesus has done for me.

I don’t know how I’m going to finish the other 5 events…I feel so UGGH.  But I won’t make excuses, I will GET IT DONE. I can do nothing less…I feel like I failed today but if I bail out I will really fail

Wish me luck y’all
