Need2Compete

Here we go! Only 4 days until the show and I am so much more nervous this time than last. My first show I was a little mushroom so I didn’t know what to expect. This time I KNOW!! All the prep- being careful with the water.. eating my carbs on time… timing my pump before stage.. getting your color just right…flexing every muscle in my body while of course making it look like a cake walk.. and then the kicker- leaving that night with a killer headache! Fun… ;o)

Oh the sport of figure.. Getting up there and knowing that you have done the best you can do and pushed your body to be the best it can be- hearing all your friends and family scream your number- Yep, it’s all worth it!

I just hope I bring home a nice chunk of bronze to put on my mantle when it’s all said and done!! ;o)

I suppose I should be happy?? The bf% has improved greatly, but the flipping scale isn’t budging. I have 7 weeks and 1 day to make it happen and I have totally stalled!!! I am doing everything humanly possible to make this show better than the last.. stadiums 2x’s a week, weights and cardio every am 4 days a week, and 45min pm cardio everyday. I know my diet is in good shape- I know my coach has that under control, but dang! This is SOO frustrating!!

This will be my second show, and my honey’s first. He looks so good.. I can’t fail on this- it is not an option!

Today I was really moving some iron. It was a very productive day, and I left feeling pumped!!
It is really cool to get looks from guys b/c you are out lifting them! LOL
While I am not enjoying my progress being hidden from all the bulk.. I am SOOO enjoying the growth and progress!
There was a guy in front of me in the weight area today.. he was doing hammer curls with 17.5 or 20’s?? he turned around after he finished his set with this look of satisfaction and accomplishment to see me plugging away with 25’s. His face went flush and he left the weight area. LOL
I was sad to see him give up, but at the same time I felt STRONG! )

My NPC show is about 25 weeks out, and it feels both to far yet to close at the same time! My last show was a major test of will power and endurance. I lost over 50lbs to get there. Sadly I didn’t place.

I have about 10-11 weeks to add some major muscle to my legs, and get some definition going on in the abs. Change is so slow! I hate that I am so darn impatient. I just pray that I can pull it together push myself even harder than I did last time.. and sculpt my body to be the best that it can be.

This show should be a lot of fun. My husband now has he bug, and he will be joining me this time around. Oh boy this house is going get interesting that last 2 weeks!! LOL
Hopefully we will make it to the show without killing each other…
