I’m so motivated right now!!!  I’ve decided not to do the NGA show in Peoria, IL.  I feel such a huge weight lifted off my shoulder!  I was so stressed out about it and I couldn’t focus because I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to do it.  It’s just way to far for me.

First of all…this is just an amateur show.  I don’t travel well, meaning I get extremely bored and can’t sit still.  I have to be constantly doing something and it’s usually eating.  I can’t do that while traveling to a competition.  We were going to take the train but there’s 3 of us times $104, plus a rental car, eating out for 3 days, 2 nights hotel room, 1 day off work for me and my husband would have to take 3 days because he works weekends.

So I decided last night to drop out and look for another show closer to home.  I found one in Tulsa, OK just 2 1/2 hrs away!  It’s an NANBF show and apparently it’s very big and there’s a lot more competition.  Plus it’s on my own stomping grounds….so to speak.

I called my friend Jake who won the overall men’s at the NGA in Wichita last November and he said he’s competing in the same show along with his partner Keila.  Awesome!!!  I’m going to know people there!  I’m so excited and pumped right now I could run a marathon!  I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get into it and stick to my diet.  I just had this sick feeling in my stomach about the Peoria show the whole time.
