Bikini Comp Preparation

  I can honestly say, "I have never blogged before". I'll simply look at this as a 'shared' journal; I will electronically connect with people that I would not normally connect with otherwise. This will be fun and interesting. As I step into blogging, I am also stepping into my very first NPC Bikini competition.

  I am somewhat going into this competition with blind eyes. My goal is to FINISH WHAT I HAVE STARTED. Boredom steers me in different directions. If it takes a long time to complete a task, I find something more interesting to enjoy as the other 'goal' is put on the back burner. This cycle has been going on throughout my life, and I have to stop it! I have finally completed my personal training certification. That alone has been something I have been contemplating, but never seriously dabbling into for over ten years! Mission Accomplished! I have to admit, I have had several cheat meals throughout the course of the past 16 weeks!

  As a personal trainer, a horrible time manager, I have not figured out when and how to get my meals in with being a mother, wife, daughter, and everything else that involves living. Working out is a schedule that I add the word 'try' to, to keep myself positive and motivated. I love the results, yet know that if I do not workout and eat well the results will not be optimal.

The support of my friends and family is so very important.  My husband has stuck by my side, even in the most tempting moments of cheating on my meals, to help me stay focused.  With only 5 weeks left, I am knuckling down!
