Since I can remember, I've always had a slight obsession with female figure and fitness models. I would flip through magazines likes Oxygen, Fitness RX Hers, and countless others wishing I had bodies like the women featured. As I've gotten older my obsession has ebbed and flowed; however, wishing I had a body like a figure model has always stayed in the back of my mind. Now is the time to turn my wish into reality. I've decided to get my ish together, and train for a figure competition next year. I want to prove to myself that I can commit to such a huge endeavor, and follow through; I also want to see how far I can push my body.
I was once pretty fit, but depression, kids, and laziness have taken over. At 5'10 I've allowed my weight to skyrocket to 230 lbs. Just typing that number makes my heart sink, when just 5 years ago I was 170 lbs. Having to admit where I currently am in my (non) fitness makes my journey to reaching competition body fat of 7-10% seem damned near impossible, but I will do it. I WILL DO IT!! This blog will be my form of accountability to myself, and also a place where people can see all the trials and tribulations of going from fat to uber fit. I plan to list my workouts, nutritional plan, feelings, competition prepping, and everything in between.
