2 weeks out

In exactly two weeks, I will have made my debut into the bikini competitor world!! So hard to believe!! The training has been surprisingly enjoyable, thanks to the support of my trainer and fellow competitors. There have been surprises along the way- I have come to love my 5:3o am workouts, giving up dessert wasn't as difficult as I once feared, and I can lift heavier weights than I would have ever imagined! I appreciate my body for what it can do and savor the high that comes from the lifestyle.

So how am I feeling 2 weeks out? Excited, sure. Nervous, yes. Eager, entirely! My trainer made some tweaks to my diet that will take effect on Monday. The most difficult change will be eliminating gum and stevia, both of which I use daily. I am very curious as to how my body will respond! Luckily the next two weeks will be packed with fun activities to include filming a posing video with Jillfit (in 5 inch heels!), getting dolled up (fake eyelashes, tanning, waxing, nails!), doing a photo shoot, and remembering to enjoy each moment.

Have you stepped outside of your comfort zone lately? When was the last time you scared yourself? Take it from me, it's exhilarating!
