Just when I think I am getting close to finally getting on stage for my first bodybuilding show……  it seems I still have much more work to do.  I met with a nutritionist recently that works with competitors to help prep them for stage.  Well, seems I’m not as far along as I thought.   I apparently have a bit more work to do in developing my shoulders and my small calves are pretty much an embarrasement to the rest of my body!  LOL  My diet needs to change entirely and I have to change up my training to spark some growth in my lagging areas.  I can go ahead and compete in April, he says… but I won’t look the way I want to look.  He wants me to take more time.  If left to my own devices… I would have went on my merry way and worked toward my April show…. and most  likely wouldn’t have come in looking my best.  So moral of the story is… don’t ever trust your own opinions of how you look…. enlist the advice of others…  Don’t let criticism crush you… but let it fuel your fire to strive for better.  I thought my shoulders were fine.  BUT, I know less than he does and now instead of feeling bad about it I am all pumped up to change up my shoulder training and work harder to make them even better!!  NOT so excited to do the same with calves… that’s gonna take some convincing lol!!! So I am on a quest to pick a new show date.  I will repost with which one I decide on.
