Hardness23’s BodyBlog

I WON TODAY!! I won the 2008 Southwestern Tucson Figure Championships! 112lbs, 9% bodyfat.
Finally.  After 5 months of dieting and not even placing in my NPC show last month I have won my first title tonight.  It was hard earned and well-deserved.  I have failed and failed again but now I’ve overcome and through persistence have earned myself the title of Ms. Figure Tucson Southwestern 2008.  I could have given up after the first two times and just blamed the judges, cursed the industry and moved on with my regular career path.  Instead I pressed on to keep trying through the tough times knowing my time will come.  I was not blessed with a perfect body, I have worked hard to achieve greatness from the inside out and to prove to myself I can win.

I will now sit on it for a week, soak it up and decide what to do now.  I will obviously take a break and CELEBRATE like I did at the club tonight.  Then I have some time to decide if I am ready to take on competing in Venice for team USA in October.  Now that I have won this title I have that opportunity.  I can work harder to put on more mass and perfect the shape of every muscle to do bodybuilding or figure, or I can maintain and compete in the bikini model or sports model divisions.

Don’t know yet….either way I still WON tonight!  I’m still realizing it, it’s like a dream I haven’t woken up from yet.  I’ll wake up tomorrow, see my trophy and get a relieved proud feeling of true accomplishment and self-actualization.
