DJINN’s BodyBlog

In light of the events of my life as of late, I have adopted a much strengthened "carpe diem" attitude.  As such, I have made a decision.  I have scaled metaphorical mountains in my life and have been faced with a number of difficult times, however I’ve always tried to remain positive and keep my eyes on the prize.  I am announcing my committment to compete for the 1st time…I will make my debut in 2010.

 Why make the announcement now?  Accountability.  I am a big believer in accountability.  By posting this goal, I make myself accountable to all who know me not only in my day-to-day life, but to every member of bb.com.  That’s a large committment.  I chose 2010 because I still need time to decompress now and then slowly get back into the swing of battling the iron and having razor-sharp focus on my nutrition.  I am dedicated to bringing nothing less than my best to the stage and I will set my sights on not only competing in 2010, but earning my pro card as well.  Lofty goals?  Sure.  But I enjoy a good challenge.  In the interim, I will reacclimate to a 100% balls-to-the-wall assault in the gym and the kitchen, and focus on slapping on as much lean mass as I can over the next year and a half.

I’ll continue with additional blog entries with updates and post new pics later in the year.  As I select comp dates (and yes, I said dates as I intend to enter more than one show), I will post that info as well.  When I am set to enter contest prep, I will begin a thread in the contest prep section and welcome all to join the journey at that time.

Finally, I’d be remiss if I didn’t bring closure to the issue of my son.  I’d like to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone here for the kind words of encouragement, support, prayers, and kindness.  It meant alot then, it does now, and it forever will.
