Time to Mark the Calendar!!!

I have a secret to share with you.

I've actually been prepping for my first show for the past 7 weeks but very few people knew! I know...I know...that wasn't very nice of me since a large portion of my blog is about prepping and living as a wife/mom/librarian by day and figure competitor by night :) I guess I just wanted to ease back into things and just concentrate on starting this prep out on the right foot and getting into the right mindset.

I apologize and promise to never keep secrets from you again.....forgive me?? :)


The plan is to do both of these shows which are a week apart. You may recall that I did the Terminator show last year and placed second. If you want to relive my "hometown glory" as I called it, you can read part 1 and part 2 of my recap from that particular show. This will be my first time doing two shows a week apart so I'm crossing my fingers that all will work. Boss #1 and Boss #2 do not seem worried so I'm not going to be :)

So, it's 12 weeks until I hit the stage for the first time this year and here's where I'm currently at...it's not the best picture but it gives you an idea of where I stand...


12 weeks....that's a long time in theory but I know it will go by quickly....I need to be focused & determined. I need to walk away from both shows with a top 3 placing - I won't settle for anything less.

It's time to stop playing. It's time to go big or go home.

"Ain't nuthin' to it but to do it!"

    yes,you are looking great NOW,so i can only imagine what 12 weeks will bring!
    i have no doubts whatsoever that top 3 is in your future!
    AND yes,doing 2 shows a week apart is SO much easier than 3 or more weeks apart!!!
    its like theres a peak week,then a show,a big cheat meal,and then peak week again! it goes by fast!
    looking forward to following you along for this ride!!!
