Road to 1st Bikini Competition 3/23/2013!!
I am excited to start this journal and I really hope it will help others down the line!
I am a 32 year old Mother of 4, wife, and full time nurse. I have always read Oxygen magazine and Muscle&Fitness and dreamed of one day competition and being in one of those magazines, well as the years passed I had 4 rugrats and with each one gained a crap ton of weight!
I was 198lbs when I had my last child and she is now 4! Long story short, I decided to get off my arse and make things happen!
I am now 127 pounds and I am getting ready for my first competition on 3/23/2012! I am doing this on my own without a coach, so this will probably be a wild roller coaster ride!
Great when other people see your progress!
I thought I would share this as it made me giggle a bit today. I was at the gym with my hubby and I hadn't been to our gym in awhile since I started working out at L.A. fitness on the way home from work. Well a guy that always works out there saw me and he was like WOW! What have you been doing because you are look fit and awesome! I haven't seen this guy in a few months so that compliment was awesome! The funny thing is, he was talking to my hubby later and told him the same thing about me, but then he asked him "What program do you have your wife on cuz she's looking beast"
This is funny to me, because I train myself and I always try to give my hubby tips, but he never listens lol! I found really funny that this guy automatically assumed that my husband was training me lol!
Anywho! Today went well and I killed my legs in the gym!! I was also stoked that I meant another goal of mines by doing the 45's on an Olympic bar for 3 sets of 8 with good form lol! I think, no I know my strength is improving and I love lifting heavy! I also did shoulders today and when I was doing my reverse flyes my shoulders looked super beast!! I love seeing my muscles and I am in the best shape of my life with so much more to come!!!
I started my IF again today and felt great, I feel so much better on IF, but it feels so crazy eating a big meal at night! More to come, but I gotta catch some zzzzzz!
