Here we are 18 days away from the competition! Only 18 days! I can’t believe it. This morning I was getting ready for work and then realized that since we are in the in the “teens” I must stop what I am doing and write a blog immediately. These past few weeks have been so busy and overwhelming at the same time. I will be the first to tell you that it seems like since I started training for this show that those words best describe my life! In a way I don’t mind because I feel like I do some of my best work “under pressure” BUT I am really ready for the train to slow down a bit.
On Thursday I went to Rick’s and my body fat had dropped! Yes, I was excited but it seems like it is sure SLOWLY dropping now. Which is just the way it goes. Once you get to a certain % your body starts to slow down. This is so extreme on your body that it messes with everything. I even dream of eating food that I am not supposed to! My diet changed also this week which has been a very hard transition for me. Less fat and low carbs which means my body is even running on less fuel than it was before. WOW, is that really possible?!
I wanted to send out this blog to let all of my Keep It Tight Fitness girls, wonderful family & friends and tell you thank you for all your support that you have given to me during this journey! It has been so uplifting to have so many amazing people stand behind me while I am doing this.
My family has been SO supportive and if they were not I wouldn’t be able to do it. It is so demanding that I have to spend so much more time in the gym than I already do! I know that they are very much looking forward to our Spring Break vacation that we will leave for the day following of the show!
And a huge thank you to Melissa! Wow, I don’t even know where to start. She has been such a trooper with this. A few months ago when I decided that I was going to compete she set some personal goals as you know! And she has stuck with them and is meeting them which is amazing! She made a commitment and is just as much of a fighter as I am! I owe a huge thank you to her and her wonderful family who are feeling the “rath” of the competition as well! Her support has been outstanding and she is STRONGER now than before! She listens to me complain, cry, reminds me to “dig deeper” and that Johnnie you are going to ROCK! I love her!
Video to be posted from visit to Ricks on Thursday as well as updated pics in my suit today! And yes I ordered ANOTHER suit yesterday and it should be here by Wednesday!
My goal this week is to be a little bit closer to that “Sexy Chick” I have been headed for this whole time! Yesterday while do MORE cardio I put my favorite song on and played it over and over! And the video well that is a good inspiration also! ;)
Keep your eye out for updates this is it! 18 days and counting! WOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!!
