A New Goal
Feeling so good today after meeting with my figure coach… I will not do the show in Erie, PA and instead opt for a natural figure show in October which is 6 weeks out from tomorrow. Those last few weeks should allow me to firm up my backside and get my diet in better control.
I think if I can loose a few more pounds of fat…I should be in good shape. (no pun intended) Regardless, I will do the show - no more putting it off. AND with this setback I have been able to set my next goal of doing an NPC show in the spring (after more muscle gain).
I think what I have been losing sight of in this journey is how far I have come. I did not start off overweight, but still I was never satisfied with the way my body looked (like most). With that being said, I found myself focusing on the wrong things over the past few weeks…. I focused on the mistakes I made on my diet, the cardio I did not do and the flaws in my ever changing body. How sad…. When we make such committments, whether we are at our "ideal" or not, we should really focus on the good things…. for some, it is the determination to make a change, the decision to drink more water or cutting fatty foods from our diet, for others it is to train for a marathon, transform our bodies or win a contest…. regardless of what the change is….we still need to celebrate that we are all moving in a better direction to be healthier, stronger and be encouraging role models for those that are still determining whether they should commit to a change.
Today I am going to celebrate having a body that I am not ashamed of…. I am a 38 year old mother of 3 and I am happy with my body!!! I hope you all can celebrate your acheivements….big or "seemingly" small….
