So it's official. The show I'm planning on doing is October 8th. That gives me about 13 weeks to be totally prepared. And suprise, suprise, I'm not doing Bikini. I decided my physique is more Figure. Everything I've read and all the competitors I've seen all point that I'm figure. Plus the Bikini girls look kinda eh...slutty. I'm pretty sure if I win my overall group I get a Pro card which is huge for me. I hope bodybuilding takes me somewhere good, where I can inspire and motivate people. My parents always had a hard time of me wanting to do bodybuilding and shows. My mom got pretty offended when I wouldn't eat what she made because of my diet. They both belive in the standard LDS beliefs and felt like this was using my body in the wrong way. When I did my show in high school they seemed to understand why it was important to me. My Dad was so proud of me after I finished. I'll always remember how big his smile was. I'm hoping with this professional show I can show them more that it can be used for the positive.
I feel very lucky to have a husband who is so supportive. He is willing to diet with me, work out with me, push me, and tell me to stop whining and be a big girl. I hate him during those moments, especially running, but it's worth it in the end. I can't wait till he does a show and I can motivate him. He really is the best.
Hopefully I stay this motivated every day until the show. If you have any tips let me know and if I'm not doing it, I'll add it in to my workout, or diet, or whatever it has to do with. I can't wait to reach this new goal.
