I am sharing my Bod Pod results with you for many reasons. Most importantly to show these results were not just from my hard work, but from exploring, learning & not being afraid to be different. What I am trying to express here is I did not follow a typical protocol that other competitors would follow with diet or training and was still able to achieve huge results!
The way I view preparing for a competition is similar to how I view new challenges in my career. I have two passions first being my love for Multi-Family specifically student housing and second health & fitness. When preparing for a competition, to make changes in your lifestyle or take on new challenges in your career you must set goals. How you work, think and do to reach those goals are up to you! For me my career and competing are so similar in how I approach achieving goals. I never want to be just average. I want to be creative, learn from others, explore and most importantly am never afraid to break the mold to be different. It takes confidence to want to achieve great things, so never let someone dictate to you your personal happiness or self worth.
However there are great differences between my career and competing. When I set goals and achieve them in my career I am recognized by others, rewarded and feel a great sense of accomplishment. When I set goals and achieve them when competing it may not be recognized by the judges or by titles, but I feel a great sense of accomplishment. So you see they are similar yet different, but in the end it's reaching MY GOALS is what makes me a winner regardless of the outcome on stage!
As I embark on these last few days before stepping on the stage at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, OH I am SO proud of what I have accomplished not only by the numbers, but how I feel, what I have learned and what I am about to experience. For the next 5 days it's all about staying the course, staying focused and most importantly enjoying it! It's time to showcase all my hard work & have fun.
Finally I want to thank my husband Kevin for his amazing support! Not only has he been a huge motivator for me in the gym during my workouts, but he has given up so much over these past few months to support me 110%. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing support system, best friend, mentor, coach and spouse. I also want to thank my family for always encouraging me to follow my dreams and are there to support me every step of the way. Lastly for my amazing co-workers and team at UV! I appreciate all of you understanding and dealing with my good days and the bad days. Some are never easy, but you all support me and I can't thank you enough for all you do! After reading all I have shared with you, it truly makes me realize just how fortunate I am and just how much I have already won!
