Overall Goal: Did my second bodybuilding show on October 17th. Now in the post show haze. Need to redefine my goals and get back on track after a few days of overindulgence.
Fit Status:
Cutting is going great, love my current lifting program!!
My love of working out and bodybuilding has grown steadily over the past few years. I have had several brushes with making the committment to compete - but have always scared myself away from it. I finally feel I am at the place I need to be to fully commit to training for my first show.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling of being strong. I have always been a girl with excessive muscle mass. You know the girl - always arm wrestling. Now I have a place to use that strength and it feels right. I also love cardio - I love the way it makes me feel.
How I Stay Motivated:
I surround myself with motivating people. When I have a circle of friends who are into fitness and training it just feels like it is normal - we can't imagine doing anything different. Sometimes we joke about why can't we be the girls who just go shopping, or out for coffee. No we go away for a bodyblast camp, or go to early morning workouts. But we wouldn't have it any other way.
BB Accomplishments:
First show completed on May 16th - goal was to get on stage. Second show is on October 17th - goal is to bring home some piece of hardware!
Forum Signature:
If better is possible, then good is not enough.

Did my second bodybuilding show on October 17th. Now in the post show haze. Need to redefine my goals and get back on track after a few days of overindulgence.
Goal (Long):
Current Goal: October 20th - find a new goal. Just competed - need a new goal!!
Current goal: July 13th. My goal now is to start cutting again for my second show. I learned a TREMENDOUS amount of information the first time around and I am excited to do it again!!
First Goal - Jan 2009 (I have been talking about competing in a bodybuilding contest for several years! I have decided to finally go for it. I will be competing on May 16th. My first priority is to lose body fat. My contest weight goal is 135. This means I will have to lose approximately 30 lbs of fat. I want to have not only a good body, but an exceptional body.)
Laurey has the most fantastic attitude, she is driven - works hard and doesn't take any shi* - in a sweet way :-) She is super supportive and inspirational!
Wow it is so interesting to go back and watch the progression of my blogs from the beginning compared to how I feel sitting here now. My final weight before the show was - well, I actually do not know - they didn't weigh ups, but I am guessing in the upper 140's with about 12 - 13% BF. Now...
Looking great Lisa. Thanks for being a friend here. Please give me a vote at www.bodybuilding.com/2010-body space-spokesmodel-search-men
