22 Weeks…
the number of weeks before my first competition. I am nervous and rejuvenated. It is one thing to workout out for oneself, but it is different to be working towards a very challenging goal. I certainly welcome the challenge. I am concerned about the financial aspect, BUT I am confident in my creative abilities and ability to be resourceful. Plus, I have the support of some very knowledgeable people–on-line and off. I have never been athletic, and it is nice to have finally found a sport that I can participate in and that I can be passionate about. The timeframe is reasonable and I am confident that I can make some significant loses or gains (depending on how you look at it) over the next twenty weeks. This also gives me more structure–fewer opportunities to ‘cheat’. I am extremely excited and very glad that i got the comment to JUST DO IT and not wait for ‘perfection’–which is what I think I was going to do. It is so funny how people you have never met can have such a postive influence on your life. You don’t get regular positive feedback in your daily life and here you literally have cheerleaders!
I came on this site to ‘lose weight’ and, instead, the quality of my life has improved dramatically. I seek out challenges more, I have put myself ‘out there’, spoken up for myself, and have felt more comfortable in my own skin. While these things certainly are on contingent on your size, it has made such a difference for me.
So, I guess the countdown begins. From what I understand, it is going to fly by!

I don’t even know how many entries I’ve read. But I love it. I wish you all the best for your upcoming competition. The more and more I read about training and watching bb videos and figure models, the more I realize that it takes commitment, focus, passion, determination to get it done. With the positivity and right focus, you can push it to the limit and become the sculptor of your own bodywork
Have a great day:)
