SO I did it! I said I would….and I did. Although I didn`t place in the top 5 like I started out expecting of myself, I am extremely proud of completing what I set out to do. I gave 110% everday and therefore my results were as best as could be expected. In 13 weeks I lost 25lbs and 10% bodyfat…..how can I be disappointed with that?

I will not pretend that the journey was an easy one. It was grueling towards the end as I was expending more calories than I was consuming in food. My body seemed like it was dying somedays, lol. My alarm would go off at 5:45am, I would roll outta bed like a robot and head to the gym for my first cardio session of the day (that towards the end was 1hr, 20 min EACH). I was seriously dragging my butt the final weeks leading up to the competition.

The competition itself was an amazing and rewarding experience. I had an idea before the show that I would do November`s show BUT it was the show itself that confirmed it for me. So that brings me to today……16 weeks out from November`s show! I was able to relax ALOT with my eating for the week after the show and have felt sick almost every day, lol (serves me right BUT I`ve also deserved it). Tomorrow is day 1 of pre-comp dieting…….getting back into it but still having a cheat day once a week and still eating plenty of carbs to make me a happy camper.

For those of you who have followed my journey and offered words of encouragment and support, I thank YOU so much. I could NOT have done this without you.

BTW…..I`m feeling severely sick on chocolate caramel cups and jujubes…..this may be a very loooong night, lol
