My Figure Bodybuilding Journey

I was feeling pretty down the last time I posted. I wasn't in a good way at all. But the good news is, is that I am much better now.

I have been sorting things out and am now on top of things again better then ever. It has been over a week since I sorted out my head and since then I have been 100% on target.

Being 15 weeks from comp time I needed to get my stuff together, which I have. Although, I won't actually decide to get on that stage unless im happy with my physique when the time comes. But I think it will come good! I promise to keep you posted.

I have stopped drinking alcohol and can't believe how great I feel. I am now in complete control again. It was so easy to stop drinking too :-).

My weight is already starting to come off because I have moved a notch in my belt buckle, its always a good indication. Jeans are feeling loose too.

Posing is my next challenge, it needs lots of work. And for my individual routine I am yet to pick a song so that I can get started on that too. Once I have that in place I will start to feel better about the whole contest.

Determination, and motivation have found their way back into my bloodstream, right now I feel as if nothing can stop me. But....knowing me and my roller coaster rides lately, I wont hold my breath lol. No added pressure is what I promised myself.

How do I deal with the biggest challenge, nutrition? I take it 3 to 4 hours at a time. I eat breakfast and I am happy, then I dont look any further then my next meal, which is only ever 3 or 4 hours away. How hard can that be? So far so good.

Weight training as I said before, it isn't ever an issue. I love training and thrive off it. I wish I could train with weights 6 days a week instead of only 4.

Cardio, this is magic. Since I have picked up more cardio sessions I have found my new drive. It has everything to do with the endorphine release. I feel sooooo good when my heart rate starts to climb, and that feeling lasts for hours. That is when all I think about is being on that stage.

So there it is :-). Deb is back!! I will do everything I can to succeed and if I fail, at least I tried.

Thanks Lia for your emails, I am so lucky to have you by my side. (hugs).
