Ok...I know it's been forever since
I've contributed to my beloved blog, but I'm back. I've ignored it for too
long. The reason? I fell off the sugar-free wagon and I've just felt GROSS. I
did so well for so long, but I'm only human and gave in to temptation around
Halloween. It started with Kraft caramels!! :( I've said it before, but
I truly am a sugar-holic. Once I start eating sugar/candy, I cannot
stop!! I don't know WHAT I was thinking! I'm so furious at myself and
I've gained about 8 pounds. I talked myself out of heading to the gym many
times in the last three months. I feel so bad...not only have I been beating
myself up mentally, but physically, I feel like I'm starting my transformation
journey all over again. Well, guess what? I really am!
I ran into my gym friend, Serena the
other day. She's such a cutie and full of energy. Several months ago, she
competed in the Europa-Dallas show Bikini division. It was on her 30th birthday
and she is a mother of two. Wow, she looked fantastic and still does. She
mentioned a future competition to me once before, but I told her that competing
had never been my motivation in the past. For some reason, when we spoke
this time and she brought it up again, I thought..."Hmmm. Maybe that's
what I need to force myself back into the lifestyle that I know and have been
living, up until a few months ago?" So, I said yes!!! OMG!! I'm going to
compete...at 47 years old? What have I committed myself too?
I have exactly 10 weeks to get my
butt in gear and get rid of those old caramels that have attached themselves to
the backside of my thighs! I started a few days ago and have read EAT CLEAN
STRIPPED another three times already! I'm feeling good about my decision now,
but very nervous and scared already. It's no holds barred...I'm doing this!!
I've transformed my body before and I know that I can do it again. Thank you,
Serena, for saying exactly what I needed to hear so I can get refocused on the
eating clean lifestyle that I know so well.
I'll keep you posted on my progress!
