Well it’s 5 weeks out, and I must say those little details are defo coming in!!!! I received my new training program and meal plan from my coach at the beginning of the week…..and it’s pretty bad when you see new plyos and get excited!! lol

I must say though, what a difference it makes in your training to not be stressed out all the time!!! The last time I had competed, I had an unsuportive bf who made life a daily chore of walking on egg shells. In only a short 2 months I had shelled out about $900 just on food and entertainment on my cheat days just to try to make HIM happy!!! WTF was I thinking???!!! I remember having an argument on the phone and driving and almost getting into an accident all because of him not wanting me to compete!! I had managed to drive to the gym where my trainer was working out of at the time….and being in there balling and just pouring my heart out as to why he couldn’t understand my passion and why he had to cause me so much stress, when he knew what it was like to train and diet (he had decided competing wasn’t for him).

NOW….couple of years forward we go, and I am with someone who also shares my love of competing, trains with me, encourages me, supports me……and I’ve noticed my body has responded SO WELL!!! My coach slyly mentioned this and he’s so right!! haha

It’s such a refreshing change to have that support, and not have to worry about defending my decision to compete once again!!!

Bodybuilding is such a selfish sport and if you have read one of my previous blogs, you will see that I was questioning it’s effect on a relationship and if it is truly worth it.  If something is your PASSION then it is WORTH IT!!! Even if someone doesn’t agree with your passion but they support YOU, then that is all you need!!!!

Never give up on a passion, just keep on at it!!
