So, the more I work on my body, the more I learn about it. Lifting weights has been one of the single most effective training method for my body. The more I lift, the stronger I get. The stronger I get, the more definition I see in my body. The more definition I see, the more I think that I am some bombshell waiting to be released. Haha. My visible muscle groups have become individual trophy's that I can take with me every where I go. Sleeves? Oh honey, that was a thing of the past. I love passing a mirror or rubbing my hand down my arm. I earned every millimeter of muscle under there. Obviously this whole competition idea is taking a life of its own. Its not a goal now, it's on.
I have pointed out a few competitors photos to some friends and family and the responses are really varied. I forget that not everyone understands the hard work that it takes to obtain a figure like that. I think because I am exposed on a regular basis, it is becoming more reasonable and reachable. I will admit that at 258lbs., my opinion was different. I knew a figure competitor and I was less then impressed. I preferred the "slender" look over the muscles. Looking back, I wonder it it was really just because I saw it unachievable. I wonder if I was 158lbs, if my opinion would have been different. I guess I will never know. I do hope that when the time comes, I have the support of all of my peers. Everyone I speak to says that this is one of the single most grueling things that they have done in their lives. Many never do more then just on competition. Ever. It is just as scary as it is exciting.
I'm closely watching as Xavy starts training for his third competition. He is still several months out and the meal plan and training regimen is already extremely precise. I really am looking forward to watching the whole process from start to finish. As it gets closer, we will have to get a cheering section together to support him. After all, he is going to need a whole team to carry all of his trophy's. ;)
It is so much more then good luck and good genes. It is hard work, discipline, determination, confidence and the unwavering support of your peers. That in itself, is what makes makes these competitors incredibly attractive.
Check this side by worked photo out. I want to be a diva! Now the big challenge.... Do you think I can get Kelly to do it with me?
