If you lose your sense of motivation... your focus... your personal reasons for reaching and achieving your goals... then you will find your experience meaningless and empty. I learn through my experiences... through trial and error... we learn from our mistakes, we correct them and move on... always moving forward, one step at a time. One day at a time. This was my second NPC Bodybuilding Competition. Weighing in on Friday October 4th, 2013 at a skin & bones 165 pounds just making Middleweight Division. Yeah, a lot lighter than I had planned on... eating like a **** bird & over training my cardio on top of circuit weight training. Going down from 195 I had lost a lot of my muscle mass! I placed 10th in my weight division and for my cross over in Master Mens Over 40 Division I placed 12th. Man, I could not even afford to go, but I went anyway. There is no **** brownie points for overcoming physical setbacks, financial hardships & negative circumstances thats for **** sure! So even though the agony of Defeat hurt like hell & I felt like a worthless piece of ****. I shoved that down... way down deep inside & blocked it out. I remained focused with a positive outlook & with the dignity that I had left I was actually able to finish my 1 minute routine all the way through this time. (Music was God Smack-I Am Doing The Best That I Can). I had fun with that too, & to bring on some humor showing good sportsmanship I was making all kinds of silly faces & winking at the audience like a Crazed Jacked ******* Juggernaut. I did not like losing all that weight & feeling like a bird. So I promised myself that I would not go back there. I am currently maintaining a leaner size averaging in @ 230 pounds. I thank God for giving me the Inner Strength that is Needed to Always & Consistently Push Forward... No Matter What. With IFBB PRO Dana Linn Bailey at the 2013 NPC Natural Northern. Dana even autographed and signed my posters too! Thank You @danalinnbailey @flagnorfail
