OMG.. Only three weeks left until my show. It’s amazing how excited I finally am. Seriously, if you know me or have been reading my blog you know the range of emotions I have experienced since I began in January.
Let’s see.. in early January I was feeling out the process and deciding what I wanted to do.
Late January I had hired my coach, Julie, a Cathy Savage coach and was excited as heck to get started.
Middle of Feb it still seemed very surreal and far off. I still had a birthday dinner at The Palm (i.e. steak and mashed potatoes), a half marathon and a trip to Florida to get through.
Early March is when I really felt like I started to buckle down and take things seriously.
Perhaps a little too seriously. My eating became totally out of whack. I hated the process.
I grew tired of eating microwaved chicken and veggies all the time. I loathed measuring my food. I wanted so badly to back out because I was just angry. My anger turned into a complete lack of self control and some terrible eating habits (i.e. binging episodes, moments of self-hate, lots of tears, etc)
Late March I got my suit from Crystallini Bikini and I fell in love. I started going to Sunday Sessions at CSF and met more girls going through what I was. I started to feel connected to what was happening. I began learning more and more about food addiction and how to control myself.
So far for April I am continuing with more of the same I felt in March, but way better! I still have days where I just don’t feel like eating plain fish or wish I could have more starchy carbs. But I see a light at the end of the tunnel now.
I have always been that kind of girl who refused to study for a test until the day before or felt a lot better writing a paper until dawn the day before it was due. I don’t know what I’m wearing tomorrow much less think about preparing for a competition 6 weeks away!
But now, here we are with less than three weeks to go…
I feel very confident in what has taken place with my physical transformation. When I tell you to be patient with the scale and even though you don’t see your results right away, it doesn’t mean they aren’t coming. For the last two weeks I have weighed in at 125. Prior to that I had seen a slight loss, but only from 130 lbs, which was my starting point. Now, I know my body has changed, but I’m just kind of using the scale as my example.
Anyway, 125, 125, 125.. morning, noon and night. It didn’t make a difference if I had just done 90 minutes of hot yoga or if I had just eaten a “huge” meal. Then Saturday morning the scale read 122. Wow. 3 lbs gone overnight. Just vanished. Sweet! Then Sunday morning I was 120. My jaw literally dropped. I haven’t seen 120 lbs since I was probably 12 or 13 years old. Then again this morning, I saw 120 again!! So that just goes to show that your hard work WILL pay off.
So now as I get closer and closer to my competition I have to really focus on walking and posing. I have my walk down. The coaches at posing session seem to like it, which is good. I can’t work on my posing enough though. It still needs help, but it is so sososososososososo important. I need to stand out to those judges!!!
I also have to work on the finishing touches like getting waxes, getting my bling, spray tan, nails, order extensions, etc.
So here we go.. here’s this weeks’ comparatives…
Have you competed? What kinds of emotions did you experience?
If you haven’t, what kind of emotions do you go through on your journey to being fit?
Your Coach,
Kyra
