Inspired To Keep Going!

My weekend in Columbus at The Arnold was so much fun.  This is my third time there and I hope to make it an annual event.  After watching the pros on stage, I really appreciate all the hard work that goes into their perfectly sculpted bodies.  It’s very impressive to see in person! 

As I stood near the expo stage watching fitness, figure, and bikini competitors come out for their prejudging, there were two couples near me that, I assume, were locals and had just dropped by the show.  One of the girls said, “This is so weird.”  Her friend agreed with her.  I stood there and thought that I guess it could be weird if you’re not used to being around the fitness industry.  After I looked at each one of them, it was obvious, they did NOT work out. 

I have never felt that it was weird to be fit, healthy, and have a defined muscular body.  Having said that, the woman’s bodybuilding competitors ARE actually over the top for me.  When the women start looking like men, I’m out!  I like the fitness, figure, and bikini competitor’s bodies because they still look muscular, cut, and lean, but feminine.

This week I’m very inspired to keep pushing towards my own competition – now only 3.5 weeks away.  Even with a rocky schedule over the weekend, I’ve still seen a huge improvement with my own body in the last week.  I wake up amazed and extremely happy that I have changed my body so fast and with a lot of hard work in the gym and the kitchen. 

I will incorporate this process into other parts of my life from now on because I know I can do it!

SET A GOAL, WORK TOWARDS IT EVERY DAY, & MAKE IT HAPPEN!  J
