Bikini fit, mindset strong…

That’s my goal.

I want the body I KNOW I deserve.

It’s that simple.  What’s not simple is figuring out how to love the body that’s here as I transform it into the hot, healthy, sexy, fit and trim body I know is in there… and that’s where my journey to IFBB Bikini Pro begins.

There’s only so many times a woman above a size 6 can hear, “You have such a pretty face!” or “I love your curves!” or “You’re a big, beautiful woman!”  Really?  Does anybody believe any of those are true compliments?  Not the woman who’s wanting to go where I’m wanting to go:

• NPC bikini competitor
• IFBB bikini pro
• Cover of Oxygen magazine by 50 years of age

Um, yeah, those compliments, given my goals, are NOT compliments.

So the fire to compete in NPC Bikini was born because I was tired of shaming the body I had as a “tough love” strategy for getting to the body I want.

The strategy doesn’t work long term.

It doesn’t feel good short term.

And it leaves you, even when you hit the ideal weight, still feeling ‘not good enough.’

So what is this blog about?

It’s about documenting my journey from overweight to extremely fit.

It’s about sharing the process of going from unhealthy to bikini pro.

It’s about witnessing all of the ups, downs, ins and outs that this journey is going to require… and watching me get to the goal anyway. If you’ve ever wanted to lose weight and get fit, if you’ve found yourself yo-yo dieting and living the up and down of being fit and fat, this is a blog that will inspire you to want more, go for more and achieve your biggest dreams.
