To Compete Or Not To ?


I guess all I have wanted to do for a very long time now is to compete. So it's a matter of "when" and not "if". I have been hesitating to enter the INBA's this October for a few reasons. One reason being that it is a very big year for the INBA's and their will be so much compitition. The other reason is that im just plain scared. Very scared actually!
So this is what my decision is to date. I am going to compete this October with the option to pull out at anytime between now and then. Some how knowing that has made my decision easier to make.
So now im all excited about getting into condition. JD is going to train me :-) I have made an appiontment with Jo Rogers at the end of this month for her to help me with posing, shoes and bikini.
My focus towards training has moved up another notch, I am willing to take on the challenge and I love picking up those weights.
I got an early Mother's Day present. An exercise bike yay. This now means I can do cardio at home. I can now split my training up. Weight training in the morning, and cardio at night. I couldn't get to the gym in the evenings due to commitments at home. So this will make a huge difference to my progress.
I have 5 months to get in shape and get my posing as perfect as possible. If only I wasn't sooo scared. I have moments of utter excitement, and then I tremble with fear. Why am I doing this to myself?????
Deb - you are going to be awesoem - plenty of time to perfect everything too :)
An exercise bike! Someone is a lucky girl!!! it'll make squeezing all those workouts in a lot easier that's for sure :)
BTW - There is a picture of me in my skins on the blog!!!!

hey There!!
Thank you for your comments! I completely understand your emotions as I am going through them now and have to grapple daily with these horrible feelings of fear.
It good to hear I am not the only one who feels these things and you seem to have the same passion as i do for competing and the sport.
What is stopping us?....maybe just ourselves?
Can't wait to c ur progress!! Keep in touch

Exciting times Splice! I am very very interested to see what you decide to do. I too am in a stage of contemplating... although I think if I did it, it would more likely be next year! Its an awesome goal to work towards, and I wish you every success!

Yay Splice! That's fantastic! You will be fantastic! You are already looking so great... so I can't imagine how good you will look after a few months of focussed training!
Are you talking about the INBA comp in Melb? I am hoping I might be able to go and spectate and cheer everyone on, so hopefully that is the comp you are talking about.

Take the leap honey!! I can't believe I am so far behind in the news!! Why we do this is because in order to grow we have to challenge ourselves and step outside our comfort zone. Take a deep breath and jump... build your wings (lats???) on the way down ;) I would love to see you at the Nationals!!
