Change of Plans
Well I’ve made great strides over the last 2, 2.5 weeks. I’ve gotten up 3 mornings this week and rode my bike, and made it to the gym for a fouth day. I’ve strength trained 4 days so far this week. Food is another subject. I stick to my clean eating but there is one day each week I go over board (usually on Fridays). Other than that I’m fairly happy.
I’ve come to a realization. I’ll not be able to afford to compete. Everyone here has given me great suggestions (mentors, self tanners, and discount constumes) but the fact remains that at this time I do not have the money and not sure if I’ll find a source before mid September. I considered getting a second job, but then when would I have time to work out? I’ve got plenty of moral support but have no financial support. I’ve thought of trying to find people or businesses who might be willing to sponsor me, but in this bad economic times who has the extra money to give away and with no name for myself what kind of sponsors could I find.
October is closing fast and there are 4 competitions, one is close and I’ve got family that lives about 15 minutes from the venue. I just don’t have the money for the entrance fees or to purchase even a used costume. I know I’m a winer and a complainer but after all my hard work this really sucks!
