The Beginning: Becoming an Athlete

My fitness journey started without me even realizing it. My fitness journey began while I was eating loads of sugar and carbs, drinking calories at the bar, ordering takout after a long shift, because I felt I had deserved it. I believed one session at the gym a week deserved a high caloric reward. I believed my body would never change and that genetics had set me up to buy Large shirts; it was something I couldn’t change. To be honest, I had no idea that I was over weight. I thought I wore my weight well. March 2015 I weighed myself to be 180lbs..and I had this idea to be a bikini competitor. Now, when I decided to commit to this goal, I told very few people because I was scared of others opinions and I didn’t want to hear that it wasn’t possible. I believed it was possible for me, and with my belief, those close to me supported my journey. So day 1.. 21years old.. 180lbs .. 29.8% body fat… out of breath with one flight of stairs… I began my journey. My boyfriend and I cleared the house of all unhealthy food, restocked with my approved meal plan foods and made my first trip to a supplement store. I began to realize how unhealthy my lifestyle was. And I don’t regret how unhealthy I was before, because I believe it has fueled me to where I am today. It’s remarkable to look back now at the person I was, emotionally, physically and intellectually… I am a completely different person.. stronger.. wiser… more confident. I went through 17 weeks of prepping for a bikini competition. I dropped 20lbs of fat, built muscle but nothing compares to the transformation my personality made. I have adhered to this delusional thinking, which I believe all athletes have. I believe anything is possible. I am constantly pushing myself harder. If I can see something happening, I will make it happen. If I want to make a new personal record for my deadlifts, I will. If I believe I can sprint for an extra 30mins, I Will. On my 17th week of prep… I didn’t see myself competing that week… I still wasn’t 100% confident with my body, and I believe in what my body could become with more time. I saw the strength I would gain from another round of prep. I believe I have a lot more growing to do intellectually as well as physically. I know one day will be my day. Was I upset that I wasn’t ready? Yes, but I survived the first 17 weeks… I will fail forward and learn, push harder and I will get on stage in 17 more weeks! This is just the beginning of being an athlete. The momentum I have can’t be broken. I am ready for this next round of prep. I will be pushing my limits in the gym, committing to the diet and transforming myself with personal development. “You can have more than you’ve got because you can become more than you are”

Cravings

Cravings are real. Specially when you're 'bro dieting' or clean eating. Why do the worst foods suddenly become more mouth watering? Is it because we can't have them? Stay focused on your goal. Get tunnel vision to the finish line. When you want something bad enough.. No amount of donuts and pizza will keep you from your hard earned success !! Push past the cravings.. You are strong!!!!!
