The Big Picture

So...It has taken about 3 days to finally get the courage to post these next "goals".  These days, once I set a goal- It's on like Donkey Kong! (Unless of course it involves a burpee.)

I have been toying with the idea of 2 long term goals.  I have never done a long term goal before and stuck with it. I have had the most success with short term but, I am thinking that this blog and all of you will help me keep accountable and working towards them. Some of you have talked them through with me before and to some of you this is going to be news.

See.... I am still stalling and dancing around actually typing out.

1:  MMA Fight.  (Sorry, Mom!)  Ideally I would like to wrestle down (pun intended) this one before I turn 35.  I have seen the women in my current weight class.  HELL NO!!!!  That will not be happening for at least another 15lbs. That's it... I wrote it out... Goal Set!

That brings me right on into my second goal.  In order to fight, I have to be in the best fighting shape possible right? Well... while I am at it....

2:  Competition.  Fitness/Figure/Physique??? ... I still have a lot of research to do.  I immediately feel like I need to defend my decision and I have no idea why that is.  Maybe because it is still so unbelievable to even me.  6 months ago, I never would have considered it.  6 weeks ago I probably would have still been laughing it off.  How the hell is Xavy so damn persuasive?  He was the one that first mentioned it and has not let it go.  He seems to have more confidence in me then I have in myself but it is starting to rub off. Xavy never used the words, "If you compete...", it was and is always, "When you compete...".  We have talked about training for another year to slim down and then see where we are.  I am having so much fun training that I can see myself enjoying the whole process.  I have a feeling though he is already running me through some preliminary tests with his, "Phase 2".  hahah  I am already becoming one of "those" people in the gym. You know the ones,  lifting free weights in the mirror checking themselves out.  Oh yea! HaHaHa

Until then, I have made a collage of images that I have been drooling over for the past 11 weeks.  These have been the saved images on my computer that keep me focused on fitness and not just trying to get skinny.

If Xavy and Kelly say that I can do it, then I am all over it!
