Week 6--Progress Pictures and Update

Well, if you're still reading this blog I want to thank you!!  I am now in week 6 and doing great!!!  Don't get me wrong I have had some opportunities to eat out and all that but I have a goal and so I am sticking to my guns and staying very focused.  I am a total nerd shooting my egg whites & Crystal Light and carrying around my cooler full of food but as long as I am prepared I am able to stick with it and that's key.

This past weekend was the Branch Warren Classic in Spring, TX so I attended to scope out a show now that I am competing.  What a huge difference it made being at a show with the mind set of a competitor.  I watched every detail of the girls walks, bathing suits, posing & the way they carried themselves on stage.  I now have such a better idea of what to expect and what I will encounter in October.

In the past month I have made some awesome connections during this journey.  One person in particular is Michael-David, he's been such a encouraging figure thus far and has just a genuine compassion towards those he allows into his life.  He's an athlete and understands the struggles that my mind is going through right now but also respects the dedication and I really appreciate that about him.  His campaign of "I DECIDE" definitely applies to my decision to step out of the "norm" and go big with doing this competition.  As his poem of "I DECIDE" goes I choose everyday to wake up and stay focused on my goals and push through all obstacles along the way.  There is a reason I met MD when I did and just very thankful our paths crossed!

I am so thankful as I say every post to just have so much support from first my family and then my friends.  I am so thrilled every time you all take the time to ask how things are going and are genuinely interested in my journey.  There are so many people that I have met and know that have made changes in their own lives that weren't supported or understood but the fact that I have the complete opposite just overwhelms me with happiness.  This journey is changing my heart everyday, opens my eyes to things about those in my life that maybe I haven't seen before and for that I am so grateful.

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.
