4 More Weeks to Go...Getting Anxious

Here I am at the 4 week mark and it is occurring to me that I still have a ways to go and I am a little freaked out about it. I guess the next few weeks I will be busting my butt for sure...

5 More Weeks and Counting...

So here I am at the 5 week mark...can't believe how quickly time is flying by. I feel like I am seeing changes now, but still feel very "under the gun", so to speak. Jr. USAs was this past weekend, and originally, that was the show I was going to do. Jeff ended up having a conference this past weekend (and is still gone), so I bailed on that show. Hard to believe I would have been competing now. I have seen the pics from that show already, and the top 4 or 5 in each class are good...I feel like I can hang. The thing about bodybuilding is, it all depends on who shows up that day, and what condition are they in. It is a blind sport. I just have to bring my "A" game....

6 Weeks Out...

Okay, so this week has been one of the most trying weeks I have ever experienced in my life, at least emotionally. My brother and his wife lost their baby at 21 weeks pregnant, from a severe case of spina bifida. Amazingly, I was able to stay focused and luckily I had the gym to go to, just to get frustration out. That being said, through this whole experience our family has gone through, I have learned to appreciate my health and what my body is able to do....and in honor of my late nephew, who, if he'd survived, would have never been able to accomplish the ability to simply walk, I train for him, Connor Liam...

7 More Weeks to Go...

Well, here I am with only 7 weeks to go. Time is flying by and I sort of feel like I am in the home stretch. I have come a long way, but still have a ways to go...I am happy with my progress though, and hope to see more change in the next 2 weeks....
