What It Takes
So if you have not already watched my Back to the Stage Blog #1, then I'll fill you in on something ... I'm coming back to the IFBB Bikini stage later this year! The goal has been set for 10/8/11 in Ft Lauderdale FL. I am under the new coaching and training of Bombshell Fitness, founded by Shannon Dey, based out of Daytona FL. Let's just say that I was stuck in a rut for quite some time. A rut where I focused solely on business and helping others to reach their own goals and meanwhile, forgot about myself and my own goals. Balance and finding that balance has always been a struggle for me. I somehow can't seem to do everything at once. It's either 1 thing 100% or another thing 100%. Finding balance in one's life certainly doesn't come easy that's for sure, and I've been working on finding this for a while now. When I made the decision to switch to Bombshell Fitness for training, I knew that I had to start focusing on my own goals as well as my clients'. I mean come on - how many of my clients would want me still training them if I were not in shape nor following my own advice? LOL No one wants an out of shape trainer! I've been with Bombshell Fitness for almost a month now and I can say that I'm feeling some changes. Now with that being said, I have to come clean and admit that I have not been 100% on track with the program. The first 2 weeks took some adjusting - getting in the mindset, learning new things, etc. I'm the type of person if 1 thing out of my day goes wrong, then I'll just completely blow the whole day. For example, if I'm back to back with clients and classes and can't get in a training session or I cheat with something small, I'll ruin the rest of my day intentionally by maybe eating something else bad, etc. I know you've all been there! It's called self-sabotaging. I cannot do that anymore and I'm learning. I'm learning what it takes to really take my training and my physique to that next level. The next level is what I want! I have some great people behind me to support me and I'm very fortunate. I like to take it day by day as that's easier for me right now. I'll be tracking my progress along the way as I transform this body into a true professional bikini athlete's physique and I can't wait to unveil my progress to you all! Until then, sit back and think about your goals - what does it take to get you there?!

Wow, your words heal me... I thought I was the only self-sabotage girl into fitness world (i'd rather say starting in fitness world)... I'm so extremist like you said, either everything or nothing... If I fall I drag myself on the floor during a day or few days meanwhile if I suceed I take the clean habits to the limit, as well for that day or some days (does it depends on motivation?, dunno)... black or white, where is the grey?
