Okay the nerves have kicked in!!

I gotta say, I woke up this morning and felt the fizzy's tickling in my belly.
My final prep is under way!! I am so excited as this is the home stretch.

So as I was changing into my gym clothes for my last workout I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I could not believe it....ghost white and all the body reflecting back at me....could not be mine!! Holy Cow - I have never looked like this before.

It's here where you have done everything you can as far as training goes and now it's time to let the body rest and the food/nutrition work it's magic.

I know I pushed hard, did my workouts through and through...okay maybe one day I did 80 push ups instead of 100. But I will not, no matter what the outcome hold that against myself.
As to me this is about the changes I have made to my body. And, I have really made some changes!
I gained several pounds of muscle while managing to stay lean - imagine if I coulda eaten more food in the off season...I would have been that much closer to where I really want to be!

Now, I know in my head where I would like to place. I do have a goal to try and make top 5. And, yes - I will be disappointed if I don't. But it won't stop me or hold me back from working harder til I get there! It is all part of it.
I will continue to train hard and wait it out a little longer til I step back on the stage, if that is what I need to do.

This first show is just the one to outline my competition season, let me be known by the judges and lay my path for the future.

Ahh, the nerves are gone. Time to hit the gym with an upper body workout. And lots of last minute errands.

I am feeling confident in the work I have put in and the changes I have accomplished.
