I woke up this morning feeling good. It was a rainy Saturday morning and I had no where to be. But within the hour I started feeling like a balloon that was being slowly being deflated. I hate the feeling more so because I know this is not where I want to be. So its a double whammy. Everything leading up to the show was full of intensity, drive, and encouragement. People I didn't even know would comment. It was a natural high.
Now, a little over a month later I seem to blend in again. My drive is dwindling, my enthusiasm is getting smaller, and I'm finding it real easy to pass on my workouts. Hmmm...Not me at all!
So here's to hitting the rest button one more time. I think it's time to start airbrush tanning again. Something to lift my spirits during the funk. xo

You cannot contest diet year round! Everyone realizes a week or two after competition, that we are not as lean and hard as we were in the photos from our contest. Learn what you need to keep those post-competition blues away.

Girls Who Lift - I cringe when the alarm goes off Sunday morning. The last thing I want to do is to catapult into some intense cardio when I’m curled up in pure bliss. But either way, I have to get up sometime and making this my first decision of the day guarantees a more serene day ahead.

After Battle of Texas it was suggested I do the last show of the year, Texas Cup, but in the Figure division. Initially, I was hesitant with the thought of staying in prep for another 12 days but then quickly saw it as a second chance. I'm so glad I pushed through because now I've found my niche.
