Princesspower14’s BodyBlog

16 weeks ago I set out to see if I could change my body from an Ironman triathlete to a fitness competitor.  Guess what, I did! It was a great learning experience and I enjoyed all the ups and downs. It has made me a better individual and I also have so much respect for anyone who attempts this challenge.

I am so thankful to my great friend, Juliet_virgo, who convinced me that this was a possible goal.  She has a lot to do with my success.  Thanks girlfriend, you are the best! She also competed and did fantastic!  Way to go!  Also, I would like to thank everyone on this website who continued to support and encourage me through this process.

It has been a blast and I do know that I will continue to eat clean and lift hard!

Thanks again everyone! 

1 month to go and I am losing my motivation!  I feel like I am not where I should be, friends are saying I am not "cut" enough.  Stress in my life is bringing me down.  I need to change this attitude or I will not be ready.  Juliet is the one person staying by me and totally pushing me ahead, to strive to be better.  Thanks girlfriend! Love you. 

Ok, enough is enough.  I needed to vent and now need to get back to it!  Still eating properly, or 98% on, but now it is 100%.  Working out is great.  My trainer is still demanding me to give it my all.  Cardio is ok, could be better.  Tonight is a new one.  Going to the gym and work out my stress and problems and then tomorrow is a new day.  Will be better.  My mind is back!

Hi there, Juliet-virgo here, I have downloaded some new photos that my partner and I took of Princesspower14 (ya all the new hot ones!) and I thought I would do some blogging for this beautiful woman who is a very dear freind of mine.  Obviously to give me her acccess.  Anyways I am one of the main supporters of this girl competing.  I think she has what it takes, she has great determination and is following all my advice to the “t”.  We are at the half way point right now and because we dable proffesionally in photography,we asked her to get her hair done,slap some makeup on and come do some proffessional photos so she can see how amazing she looks. I think you would all agree that she looks hot and gorgeous and her body is changing AMAZINGLY!  If you would join me in supporing Princesspower14 and encouraging her to continue in this journey, we could convince her that the Oct. 18th competition is well within her reach!  Peace and thanks!

I am now at the point where  a decision must be made about competiting.  I am at the half way point and need to either sign up and commit or not.  I still am motivated to eat clean and lean out, but the competition portion of this journey is still a question.  Went to a posing class and tried it, must admit that was the best workout! I was given great advice and shown all of the poses. (I give credit to anyone who has competed, that is hard work!)  I just don’t know if I will be ready for it, mentally and physically. Am I ready, will I get there, can I get there?  Some friends are really encouraging, others tell me that I shouldn’t.  What to do?  If I a going to do this, I need to get suits, shoes, etc.  and need to get on it now.  Only 7 weeks to go and I haven’t wrapped my head around this yet.  Help! 

I am freaking out just a little bit.  Signed up to go to a fitness camp to prepare newbies for the world of fitness competitions this weekend.  I don’t know if I am ready for this. Do I even want to do this? Friends say both yes go for it, others say it is too early for me.  Don’t feel like I can get to a place that one has to be to compete.  For example: all of the competitors out there with single digit body fat percentages.  Can I get there?  I hope so, will try hard.  I don’t even know what division to go into.  I guess that is what I will be learning at this camp.  If anyone has suggestions, helpful hints let me know.

Here we are on week 5 and I am down weight, but don’t feel much of a difference.  I was expecting a different me by this time, but not sure that this is happening.  My clothes do fit differently, so I guess that is a sign.  The scale is still moving in the right direction, but…I don’t know what I expected.  I guess the "Wow".  My trainer says it is different for everyone.  I am still focused and motivated, so I guess we will continue forward and work harder!  Looking at all of the body transformations on this site always motivates me, so thanks!

Back to reality after getting away from the day to day grind.  Feeling motivated, as I am seeing some improvements.  Back to strength training after a month of endurance.  Love it.  Stronger than ever!  Shocked as I look at the weights my trainer is putting on!  Hope to see many more changes!

Great week!  Feeling strong!
