Making it happen…FIT HAPPENS!

These next 10 days are going to fly by!  I am so excited and anxious to see how everything turns out.  I have been getting nervous but then excitement quickly takes over and I get goose bumps thinking about walking out on the stage.  WOW, it will finally be here and over before I know it.  What an amazing journey this has been over the past few months.  I have put my body through a test and I feel it has passed.  Passed with flying colors!   I was reviewing some of my old training notes from 2 years ago and found some pretty amazing facts.

2 years ago I went to Rick’s house on a mission, I had a desire to compete.  I once had tried to fill before when I was 21 and just wasn’t really at a point in my life where I had what it truly was going to take.  In a few words…I had a lot of growing up to do…A LOT!   2 years ago this month I weight 149 pounds (wow) and my BF% was over 30%.  In 8 months I was able with much of Rick’s help compete in my 1st show the Monster Mash 2008.  I placed 5th in my class!  I was needless to say totally shocked by surprise.  It was like OMG WOW.  It was even a surprise to Rick, he said that it was the quickest transformation he had seen in his 20 plus years in the industry.  I would have kept competing in the figure division but some personal things in my life happened and I was just not able to fully dedicate the time along with the mental, physical commitment that you need to be successful with it.  This past year after things “kinda” settled down I thought what the heck!  Why not try to start competing again!  With working at Keep It Tight Fitness I thought what better atmosphere to be in while trying to obtain one of my personal goals and hopefully inspire others to see they can do anything they set their mind to.

I posted my 2008 stats on my Facebook yesterday and I kept reading them over and over in disbelief.  Never once when I weighed 149 did I think I was “overweight” or “unhealthy.”  What I did realize is that sometimes I don’t think we know what we are really capable of until we push ourselves to the limits.  I am not saying competing is for everyone because it really isn’t BUT I am saying that I know that if you think right now you are giving 75% to your diet and excercise or just overall healthy living do this… re-think ~ re-energize ~ re-act to it.  PUSH yourself harder.  At KIT we sell a shirt and on the back it says “FIT HAPPENS.”  I love the shirt it is a TRUE reminder that it does happen the key is who is wearing the shirt MAKES it happen.  I tell my girls all the time dig a little deeper because sometimes that is where you will find what it takes.  You have it in you we all do the key is just realizing it and believing in YOU!
