Chicana_Peach’s Transformation Blog

I have decided to hold off from doing any competitions in June or anytime soon. I have given this some thought and have discussed it with my husband. I have high standards this time around, i want to bring up my upper body the way i want and have better overall conditioning. A year should do the trick hopefully. I will know when its "GO" time. I want to be COMPETITION when i get on that stage and not have a doubt in my mind. Not necessarily win (although that would be NICE!), but have a high ranking and be proud that my hard work came through. I want to shine on stage and be proud. I love competing and just the journey you go through to make it to that stage is something that is so different from anything i have done and very rewarding to me. Is it a struggle with a family? YES! Is it worth it? YES IT IS! Is it easy? NO NO NO! If you love a challenge and something to look back onto and say YES I DID IT and have some cool stories and pics to share..something that many do NOT do and go for it. I was unique in that way then do something like this. I don’t mean necessarily in bodybuilding for someone, but just something unique and mind blowing

Also i know i discussed in my earlier blogs of how i wanted a tummy surgery to help my tummy. Lots of stretch marks and loose skin that can not be helped by exercise and diet. I have done my research on it and have decided to get it done. I have had 2 consultations so far, but i’m still checking out some other surgeons. Hopefully i can have it done in February so i can heal up some before the summer time is here FINALLY i want to feel confident of being free in a bikini and not worrying about eyes on my stomach with the "eww" looks. Thought i could live with it, but it REALLY bothers me. There are more reasons to it as i have discussed. Praying this is the right decision and that everything turns out well. Wish me luck!

WOOT! Feeling great and excited that i’m in the ZONE with the clean eats and the hard ass workouts. Staying motivated by coming on here and chatting with my friends and team mates. Holding yourself accountable and discussing your experiences with other like minded people makes a big impact. Although my weight is higher, i feel LEANER. It also helps that my husband has been doing a diet for the past 3 weeks too. He gets to cook for me every now and then, you know how we get tired of our own cooking and he can be a creative cook too. He knows what he can use for my meals cause i will go OFF…HAHA, ok not like CRAZY off, but i will be pissed. He is reading labels more and just being more aware of stuff. He doesn’t even want to take a cheat meal a week. Hope he hangs on to this lifestyle, he is getting pretty hooked already and reading up a lot on fitness.

Anyways, my workouts have been very productive. Hitting higher numbers just about every week. I’m currently sore from my leg workout i had on Friday. OUCHIE! My shoulders were burning throughout my workout today, but it was a GOOD burn ya know? I was DETERMINED to hit new numbers today in the gym on shoulders as that is my lagging bodypart that i REALLY need to bring up. I want my shoulders to match my big quads. Oh, my husband bought the Iron Gym pull up bar cause he knew i wanted it and he is using it too. My back needs to be brought up too. Everytime i walk by it now, i want to jump up and give it hell. Chin ups i can do, pulls up…NOT YET. My goal is to be able to do at least ONE unassisted pull up within the next month. Is that a realistic goal? I’m going to do my damndest to STOMP IT. Alright, that is all i have to report. If you want some MOTIVATION, check out my latest bodybuilding video i uploaded today. Love the song too.
