So, here goes…it seems like not that long ago that i was browsing through profiles on here, looking at figure competitors and thinking, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD GET TO THAT POINT! Thinking first of all how I have been training, knowing that I have the potential to really get to where I want to be in an overall average fitness perspective…i’m getting there! Getting to the point physically how I want to look and also to the point that I want to be PHYSICALLY, in the sense of strength, endurance, etc.  I am feeling great.  I know that i can push myself SO much harder even though now it seems as if the greater part of my free time is spent at the gym doing hard work. 

SOOOO, on May 23rd 2009 my workout partner who is a VERY good friend of mine and I went to my first Figure Competion in Los Angeles.  I was so excited to see all of these beautiful girls that I know have been eating, sleeping and living their lives around their fitness and focusing on this goal.  Regardless if this was their first competition or if they had done many, this is what they know and love.  The excitement for me was just to SEE it in person rather than in photos or videos.  Like I said this was never a TRUE thought of mine that I would one day be up on that stage.  It was amazing, a great experience for someone like me that has been working my butt off at the gym with no real GOAL in sight.  I keep telling my partner and trainer that I want to set a goal and for a brief, very brief second a couple months ago thought hey…maybe a figure competition, followed by YEAH RIGHT! 

 Well, that same day, i made a decision.  I am going to compete!  Have been training hard and eating clean, but come Monday, June 1st, my life is about to get a little more involved at the gym…it’s about me now and I am going to make this happen.  I have a TON of support from all of my friends, I need to keep things in perspective.  I have been learning a lot, and it’s all about learning, growing, taking the feedback and criticism that comes my way and working with it!  I can’t wait to see what progress the next few weeks brings.  I can’t wait to learn all about my new way!

I feel SOOOOO new!  I need so much information!  DIET, NUTRITION, CALORIE COUNT, WORKOUTS!!  ANY help, any feedback, any information is welcome!!
