Limitless

At what point do you decide you are going to change your life? The moment you step on the scale and realize that you are overweight? How about the moment your breathing gets a little heavy walking up stairs and/or when you have to buy large pants to accommodate your new big booty. For me, it was the moment that I was comfortable. I was uncomfortable with how comfortable my goal and dreams were. My goals and dreams had stopped scaring me, pushing me, changing me.

In a previous post, I talked about my experience with figure bodybuilding. I said I would compete again and I did just that! I recently competed at the Warrior Classic in Loveland, CO. To say it was an incredible experience doesn't even begin to describe it. There were stunning women with the most humble and sweet personalities. They empathize with the struggles that take place during prep. In a strange ways its a bond. I would also like to mention that the bodies that are often seen on the covers of fitness magazines, competitors really do look like that! It is possible!

As sit on bed and rehash the events with my mother, I feel so thankful for the support that I have received. I have the most amazing coach, Taylor Rhea. She has more than helped me transform my body, she helped me save myself.  At the beginning of my fitness journey, I measured my success by aesthetics (weightless, muscle build, etc.). I have lost a total of 55 lbs. since January and currently sit at 16% body fat. Not to diminish the significance of my physical success, my emotional success is what I am truly proud about. Life is hard, no surprise. It emotionally wears on you regardless of circumstance and clarity to discern is hard to come by. For my life training = clarity. 

I am really happy! I am happy about everything in my life! The only limits that's I have are the ones I place on myself. 8 weeks till my next show! I will be competing in the ProCore Championships in Utah. I have new goals and mindset for this comp prep. As I challenge myself again I remember I am a 20-something just trying to figure it out.

LET'S DO THIS!!
