FitJulie’s Journey to FigurePro

Well after a few months of not being disciplined I feel like I am finally back to the real me!  I had a great photo shoot in the spring at the Arnold, but when I got home, things just seemed to go in the WRONG direction!  I only have myself to blame of course, but for some reason, I just could not find my motivation.  One day it was there…  The next it wasn’t…  I felt so lost.  I couldn’t understand what was going on inside me.

I was letting my emotions control my every move.  And also my every bite.  Fatal mistake.  Before I knew it, I felt out of control with food.  AGAIN!  I really thought I was past that, but things can come back to haunt you if you’re not careful.  That is why it is SO important to remember why you are doing this every single day!  Why do you want to be fit?  Why do you want to be healthy?  Are you willing to take the long hard road that requires discipline, hard work, and lots of sweat?  Or do you keep looking for the quick route?  That quick diet or supplement that will get you shredded in weeks?  If so, you’re going to be looking for a long, long time.

I really think I was looking for someone to tell me it was going to be easy.  Or that I could compete and still eat junk.  Or that I could have 6 pack abs and still eat sugar every day.  Not going to happen ever!    That cloud that was over my eyes is finally gone.  And I have Nancy Georges and Ava Cowan to thank for that.  They are my inspiration, as well as all the other members on bodyspace.

Don’t ever give up on your goals.  If you can’t seem to figure out how to get there, keep trying!  The answer will come to you eventually.  I can’t wait to surprise so many people in 2010.  It’s going to be a year of great things!
