Easier said than done Reality Check
I lost the weight I thought I would be satisfied I am not I want to compete. Yes it sounds good in writing but I am learning more and more this is easier said than done. I think alot of people think walking across the stage in a beautiful suit is something anyone can do. Not!! You have to work hard to get your body ready and I am learning this. Hell I HONESTLY thought I would be stage ready in a year when I joined last year. Now that I am doing my reading and research I see that women and men are working on their bodies for years and these are men and women who looked great when they started. I have found a new respect for everyone who competes. I have the same goal now and I clearly understand that competing isnt the Miss USA contest. Its hard work and dedication that will get me to the stage. I am going to be totally realisitc and say I will be ready by Summer 2010 I will not get on a stage and make a fool of myself I want to be right and not insult this sport!!! :0)

I don’t have aspirations to complete but I agree with you. This is going to take a life time to complete and I am ready for second, minute, hour, week, month… you get the point.

I understand. I started out with the 2010 goal and pushed it up 8 months. Nov will be here soon. I have 7 weeks to finish what I started. I press and restrict. I am worried that I won’t be ready. So I feel your pain and I truly understand.
