only 3 more weeks!!!!
Hi all! Happy day after Holloween!
Im here with just 3 more weeks till my first figure comp. And I am soooo excited! And Sooooo nervous! Im scared Im not "lean" enough, im scared Im gonna cramp on stage and Im scared im gonna be sick to my stomach from nerves….. But Im so excited on the other hand to finally accomplish another goal!
Im one of those girls that looks at it like no matter what as long as i get up on that stage im a winner, i mean look at all I have accomplished to get me there… By the time I make it to the stage I will have set another milestone…losing 100lbs.! But really who am I kidding..I WANT TO PLACE.. better yet I WANT TO WIN!!!!! There I said it! I want to win!!.lol!
Funny, i never really gave any thought to winning before, it was just about the accomplishment and experience but the other day I realized just how many of my friends/gym peeps were going to attend and it hit me…oh my goodness..what if i don’t even place! Im gonna feel like a dork in front of all them! but in the same thinking it hit me that I may even win…wow! Guess I just never gave the winning/losing any thought before…strange!!!
Yesterday was my cheat meal and i made turkey burger chilli and had some tostitos to dip in it..yummm!!! Today is a high carb day, so i get gluten free bread with 3 of my meals..which i love cause I make grilled chicken sandwhich…mmmmm! So really the diet hasn’t been so hard to follow. Now Fridays are a diffrent story…its my day 3 no direct carbs and my biggest volume workout day…not sure why that is, especially since its an arm day and as you can see they are my weakest link…
But Im pushing on and counting down! Peak week is scaring me a bit…My trainer has me 4 days no carbs then starting thursday I load..we are not sure about water yet, she says she will give me a more "natural" water pill and not fully deplete me cause of the cramping issues.. she keeps talking about spillage and how we don’t want that and such…why does she have to scare me like that??? Im already anxiety ridden but to add spillage to my issues…thanks! lol! So now im worried that I can’t pose, i am not lean enough, my inner thighs giggle when i walk and i have to watch that i don’t spill….REALLY? Did i mention how excited I am for my comp…? lol!
Just a side note… I am now 2lbs from losing 100…wooohooo! Now that 100 was NOT from bypass surgery! It was good old fashion gym time and better eating choices! Not that there is something wrong with the gastric bypass, but it wasn’t a choice i made, i chose to work it off my way…so 3 years 9 months, many vacations, many bags of m&m’s(my fav.) many hours in the gym and many hours reading and learning…here I sit at 122lbs, my lowest weight ever!!! (sorry, someone messaged me about how great it must have been to keep going after "bypass" surgery..kinda made me mad!!!!since i didn’t have it!)
As always thanks so much for reading!!
Happy Sunday!

Awesome job MGG. Congrats & MAJOR respect coming your way. Very dramatic transformation. Good luck on your comp.
BTW: I’m not a tattoo kind of guy, but in your case……..VERY CLEVER, in masking the scars.
You look GREAT.

Gastric bypass might help someone lose weight, but it will never build muscle and sculpt a body to be stage ready. And that is exactly what you have done. You will do fabulously at your first comp. I wouldn’t be surprised if there will be more than a few ladies wondering who you are fooling when say it is your first show!! Congratulations on your awesome and hard earned accomplishments!
