I will be leaving in a few weeks for a 6 month deployment to Afganistan. I am an Air Force medic and was also deployed in 2007-2008 in Iraq. I came back to unexpected situations and got really depressed and just started treating my body like crap. My best friend Karla’s younger sister Kali had done a figure competition the year before and took first place and she inspired me to train to do a figure competition. So, I started training for a show in May 2008 and did my first show in Dec 2008. I didn’t place, I got 10 out of 13 in my class, class F. I was in in the best shape of my life and able to get up on that stage. I felt the best that I have ever felt in my entire life. I can see myself entering competitions again in the near future. I am going to use this deployment to really focus on my body and learning to perfect it for the next competition. I will have the time, what else am I suppose to do out on Afganistan? LOL. I will be posing progress pictures and posting blogs. If anyone has any tips I would love to hear your advice.
