Twice in one day, at the start of my cardio at my second workout fr the day, my darn ipod doesn’t work, how annoying that is to do 45 min of cardio with elevator music at the gym lol!!
I too look at the competition and think to myself I have come an amazing long way, just in October I committed myself to this figure training thing, its brought me so many gifts other than the formation of a nice hard body, but it has allowed me to meet some wonderful young women. These women I train next to each day, are special in their own ways just like me. They have their lives and they all bring to the table a very special type of atmosphere that I know affects me deeply. I go to leave or know the session is over and I feel an emptiness, an awkward kind of attachment, investment if you will.
I get to smile while I am there, laugh and forget about any other issues or problems I might have. I love this if anything the way God works through people, he has shown me that I am definitely not alone on this journey of feelings and thoughts.
So even if I don’t walk away with a trophy, I have earned and won so much more that that, I have won confidence in myself, discipline, motivation, identification and freindships. I have won exposure to life beyond what I ever thought I would get to know or see.
It truly brings a heart felt love and tear to my eye when I think of the gratitude I have for my freinds and trainer, Terry Stokes, a man of intergrity, compassion and sincerity, not many like him I am sure in this line of work.
I have been blessed if NOTHING else.
