Competing Postponed until 2008
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007Well, it is official! I have decided to postpone giving Figure competition another go around until next year. The rest of 2007 is going to be BUSY but fun for me! I am starting my own business in partnership with www.oxygenfit.com and I also am going to be glued to the TV on Saturdays watching my Florida Gators play football! 
Ok, Sunday, too, when I watch the Dolphins as well. Now……I did not cheese out of competing because I want to watch football, I actually have cheesed out because I feel like it is the only fair thing for me to do at this time. My attitute towards my family and husband and even friends was going down hill FAST, my money ran out completely, and I felt tired and worn out all the time. I want to take the next couple of months to really train the way Shannon Dey wants me to train and eat the way she wants me to eat. It is Late Aug 2007, so by the time Feb and March roll around my lean muscle quality should be a lot better! I am going to change my routine around (meaning when I get up, hit the gym, eat, etc). No more late nights for me online. Sleep is important and so is eating, so I must take care of my training early, when I have the best energy. Cheating will be limited to one or two cheat meals a week (until I decide on when I want to compete again). My business and my personal relationships are going to take priority over competing at this time. I love my family and do not want to push them away because of the severe stress that I get under when not having money and trying to eat 100% balls on perfect everyday!!! Eating that way costs A LOT of money AND I have to go as far as to eat Organic cause of my Celiac Sprue disease. Well, that is about it. I am glad to be doing this and I will keep you all posted on what show I decide to do, etc. Thanks for being a fan! XOXO Tamar
