I've been getting quite a few emails/PM's etc asking if I'm going
to continue blogging, what's going on with my competition plans and all
that good shit.
Since my 2012 competition season is a wrap, I've had plenty of time
for reflection as well as really deciding on what my next plan of action should
be. I know to most, saying that my 2012 season is over and June has
only just begun sounds pretty nutty. I poured my heart and soul..gave my
everything into prepping for the IFPA Pro Bowl and I couldn't have
scripted it any better. I brought the best package I've ever presented
and I took the stage with people whom I respect and admire...The cherry
on top was placing 4th in my class. Overall that weekend was the perfect
culmination of a journey that started in 2010.
Just 3 weeks after the Pro Bowl, I kicked off the heels and jumped
into the NPC Women's Physique Division. I was scared out of my mind and
kept thinking "WTF are you doing?" but, it ended up being a good
learning experience. Obviously, throwing it all together in a few weeks
is NOT my style but at the same time, I actually surprised myself. As
someone who never performed a day in her life, I just wanted to survive
it and not make a fool of myself. Well, turns out that I did more than
survive it..I really enjoyed it. All of it..the posing, the
routine..everything.
Since I have really fallen in love with WPD, I have decided to put
the heels aside and see what I'm capable of barefoot :) I have qualified
to compete at the National Level but I know I am far from bringing a
competitive physique to the national stage. I know a lot of people do
show after show..as many as they can fit into a season but that just
doesn't work for me and my goals. Do I love competing?? Absolutely! But I
have learned how valuable time "off" can be..both physically and
mentally.
So I can sit back and look at what the first half of 2012 has
brought and I am happy with what I've achieved, what goals I reached and
what fears I conquered.
My focus for now is to eat, train my ass off, rest and GROW!!!
Since this isn't a "prep" blog, who knows how often I'll update or if it's even worth reading...
Feel free to hop along for what will no doubt be another fucked up ride in my crazy head!
All aboard.........
