well..actually 13 weeks out!
I am gearing up for Shannon Dey’s show in May this year. Coming into my second season as an amateur there are a few things I’d like to work on, including the mistakes I made during the 2007 season.
I found myself struggling with the diet last year. Competing can be a lonely road of solitude. At 23, most people my age can’t understand/relate/care so that put a damper on my social life. the interest in the sport is almost non existent in my town as well…so my only option right now are my Bombshell Camps and of course bodyspace.
there are certain sacrifices i have to make… genetics can’t carry me all the way! my goals for this year is to place in the top three at all my shows and to win an overall at a level V show. I can’t shake the feeling i had last year in my stomach on show day when i looked at my fellow competitors and thought, "I should have done this, I shouldn’t have eaten that"
this next show i am going to give 110%. i am going to make myself the priority….
i am using the blog to motivate myself, document my success and failure, and as a way to look back. as einstein once said. "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

That saying by Einstein is AWESOME! Good for you girl! You look great! This lifestyle definatly can feel ‘lonely’ at times….foods and drinks that have to be avoided for the goal. So i understand where you are coming from! Keep pursuing your dreams!

That saying is so true. lol I know what you’re saying about this lifestyle being lonely. Luckily I have my fiance but it’s tough being from a small town where no one understands. Keep reaching for your goal. It will be totally worth it in the end.
