Same

Right now there isn't much going on thats any different! I am still trying to add some size and do it in a healthy way. Its coming, I can see it. Its not an easy process. Some days is harder than others due to the fact that your suppose to eat A lot and I barley get it all in.

Just a quick update!

The way my husband has setup my workouts now, Wednesday's are fun and pretty easy. Its only abs and calves. Kinda a rest day, but not really. LOL. It only took me 45 min to finish my workout. Went by really fast. John wasn't able to go with me today, which stunk!! But I still got a good workout in.

I spoke to a guy in the gym today that I have not spoken to before. Its kinda sad. We have been going to the gym at the same time for almost 3 years now and there are people that I still don't know there name. This guy has been coming in for weeks now and today was the first day I said a word. Its sad how we get into such a focus and don't pay attention. Just a wave or hi every now and then is all it takes. This is a new goal for me. To say hello!!! No, conversations cause that takes time from workout. But a quick hi is easy enough!

Does this happen to you?

Still enjoying my training so much! I am seeing results and loving it. i am more comfortable in my cloths than I have been in a long time! It feels good! Working out with my husband has been about all the time we get together lately, due to his crazy schedule. That part kinda stinks but I am enjoying the time we do have! He is a great man and is working so hard to move up in his career. I am so so proud of him and all his hard work. I pray that his superiors see his dedication and hard work and it pays off for him soon. We have been struggling financially for a little while now and it is hard on the whole family. God will provide, he always does! Please pray that this burden of money eases soon!

Going good

I have had a pretty great week. Good workouts in the gym. My diet has been pretty good. But at the moment it doesn't have to be perfect! I do like what all my body is doing (most of it). I can see muscle being added..the fat is no longer coming on. I think it has hopefully hit its high. LOL. I am trying now to just build onto what I have. I do see my legs are bigger than I would like them to be but I know that this is part of the bulking process and will come back off. I will probably gain a few extra lbs in the next couple of weeks but I'm hoping not but about 1 or 2.

Thanks for following my journey!! Feel free to post comments!!

fast update

Its nasty outside, I'm being a bum in my pjs today. Did my workout early this morning and haven't left the house since i got home from that. Been watching TV and watching my son entertain himself (3 years old) with his "Batman House"!!! Ready for tomorrow, my hubby will be off work and we will have like 4 hrs all to ourselves! NICE!!

Good Morning Competitors

I just wanted to say hey to all the competitors out there this morning! You all are striving for an amazing goal. One that is fun and fascinating! Enjoy the journey, it takes a lot out of you at times but enjoy it all. If you don't it will be harmful to your mind and to others around you. Take a look at your life and make sure it is a good time for you to be competing. What I mean by that is, MONEY (do you have the extra to put in), belief (in yourself), support (from someone). Just overall, is it a good time in your life to add something so demanding! Its a lot of fun and you want to be able to enjoy the process (PRAY ABOUT IT)!!!!! PEACE, LOVE AND TRAIN

Is it worth it?

I have caught myself thinking is all this training and eating right worth it? I come up with the same answer every time. YES! I enjoy the working out, I really do enjoy the eating plan. I enjoy the process it takes and determination it takes to get on that stage and show how far you have come. It doesn't matter if you get 1st place or 15th place. Just to have made the effort that it takes to even step on that stage is worth it. I also have enjoyed the wonderful man that is traning me (my hubby). We have come to so much closer through working out together. Its not right for everyone, but it is for us.

I have always had a pretty low self esteem when it comes to body image. I think it started when I was 17 and "The pregant girl" in high school. All my friends were still skinny and no worries and here I was with a baby. It may sound a little cliche but I think every teen mother goes through the same thought. I have to say, I had the very best support system from my family and my sweet man. The man of that sweet little baby (now 8) is also my wonderful husband of 8 years and now have a 3 year old little boy as well. They helped me get through all my ups and downs!!

9 or so years later (now), I am in better shape than I have ever been, have a wonderful life and love the fact that I have an 8 year old little girl at age 27. All thanks to the One Above. There is no way in this world I deserve the amazing life I do have. But, because He died for us and rose again I can have something I don't deserve. One day I will get to help another girl through her situation because of mine. God has given me a wonderful testimony to share with others. AND THE PERFECT little family. :)

So...where is this going?, well my self esteem is still low. i think it is something I need to suck up and let go. Why do us girls think we have to be perfect, to look like this girl or that girl. God gave us a body to love and we should treat it like we do. I right now, am working hard to accomplish my next goal and that is to compete in my next bodybuilding show (bikini division) in my HOME town! This, to me is HUGE, not only will I have the support of my family that can usually attend the shows, I will have the support of others that Love me and support me, but don't have a clue to what it is I do and what it is I love about the bodybuilding sport. There will be people at this show that has never attended or thought of attending a show but are there to support me. I want to not only make them proud but I want to be proud of myself. So all in all, I want to "Bring it" to this show. I want to do my best in every way. INCLUDING a positive self esteem. It takes confidence and belief to get to where you want to go in not only this sport but in life.

Thanks to all of you that are supporting me through this journey! I can't wait to see what it brings!! I hope I wrote this in a way you can understand, :) LOL
