Life After MuscleTech Transformation Contest
Well it’s been almost a month since I posted my "after" photos. Two peanut butter jars later, I’ve gained about 6 lbs and my face has filled out again. Cheat meals have included pizza (one slice), bbq chicken, potato salad, chicken & dumplings, & fried fish [all 4th of July weekend goodies]. Suprisingly I turned down peach cobbler, which used to be one of my favorite desserts. The cheating was limited b/c the sodium content made me feel bloated & uncomfortable–not really worth overeating:)
I’m training more frequently (4 days vs. 2 days) b/c my children are in camp during the day–it feels great. I’m starting to see separation in the quad region–noted by my trainer–and I’m working on the ab muscles.
A funny thing happened today after church, a former boyfriend came up to me and "ooh & awhed" me (note: he’s 7 years my junior and looks my age or older–ha ha). We’ve known each other for 19 years. His comment was, "wow you look really different". Then the question, "how did you do it" was next.
Almost daily someone comments on my new figure. I’m honored and deeply humbled by this experience. I learned a lot about my body and contest prep as a result of participating MT Contest. I’m not sure what’s next, perhaps a fall competiton or not. It’s great to once again feel energetic and unashamed of my physique.
