Here we go....

My first figure competition will be Sept 29th in San Antonio!!!! Nailbiting!!!

Through this time of running these two 5k races and registering for the other mud runs later this year and deciding to compete in a figure competition I have also thought about my sweet and powerful Lord above. I can only give the credit to Him who has been the presence around me pushing me to do these things that are so out of my comfort zone and would have never imagined myself doing. I give all the praise & glory to Him for all of my accomplishments. He provides me with everything I need and will not lead me wrong!
I feel that God has a purpose for me in all of this.  I pray that I stay focused and am able to to show his light and glory through this process. This is going to be a tough challenge but I can do it. I know there will be people that don't understand the why's and there will be people that won't expect me to do well or even complete my 16 week training.
When I decided to attempt this I looked up upcoming local competitions and found one in San Antonio on Sept 29th. This date worked out perfect for several reasons. One being that it was just about the only date in that time that I have open and two because it was right at 16 weeks out. 16 weeks is the ideal time to prepare for a competition. This gave me the weekend to prepare to start with the meal plans and workouts on Monday the 4th.
