I started making a free online website to reach out to people and inspire them to do what I am doing and they have a blog option. I thought to myself whoa! It's been SO LONG since I've wrote in my own! Even though I told myself I would write in it more. HAH!
Maybe now I will though. (;
Well, since my last post in JANUARY, I HAVE OFFICIALLY COMPETED!
It was one of the greatest experiences of my life! Expensive, but completely worth it.
Just to let you know how they go down:
Friday we left after we got finished with classes which was about 2 o'clock (just so happened to be Valentines Day) and hit the road running. That evening I had scheduled my polygraph test and directly after that, my spray tan. I won't even begin to tell you how nervous I was for my polygraph test. I thought people only took them if they killed someone. haha.
It just so happened that after looking like an idiot in front of the man administering the test, it was Matt Shipley, who is the owner of the organization. Dope! At least he will rememeber me. (;
I passed the test, obviously, no drugs in this body!
After that I ran to the next hotel and got ready to get my spray tan. This was my first time having a spray tan done by an actual person, and only my second spray tan, EVER! So of course it was nerve wracking for a shy little girl like me. Plus, there were naked girls and guys running everywhere. Not like you actually got a great look at them, but the thought of a naked person being in the spray tent right in front of me had me a little concerned. :o But I'm alive, I survied. (:
When I walked back out to Jamie, he started to chuckle. I could not WAIT to see how tan I was!
No wonder he chuckled! I was now a different ethnicity! I absolutely could not stop looking at myself in the mirror. Just to think, this was only coat number 1!
I would have to get another coat in the morning.
Sleeping stunk. I brought two towels from my own house so I would not mess up the hotels bright white towels, but I didn't even think about what I was going to do sleeping wise. :/ I laid down two towels to sleep on, then covered myself with one towel and covered the top of my body with one of my t shirts. It was mostly a sleepless night since I kept on getting cold. I guess that wasn't the only factor though, I was about to step on stage as a bikini competitor for the first time and I was excited for just about everything there was to experience on Saturday!
Saturday came and went so fast, I wish I could replay it over and over. It was great the feeling of meeting people who had the same goals, ate the same foods, and were just all around as passionate as you are about changing their life. I didn't walk on stage looking ANYTHING like I wanted to look, to be honest, I almost chickened out. But, this was my first time and I told myself I was going to do it regardless. I am so thankful I did too.
There were about 120 competitors, but that was for the overall show. This included all the body builders, physique, figure, bikini and I feel like I am missing one... too early, brain fart.
Overall, I worked out for the show, at least twice a week (which is not as much as you should have) and I didn't really eat as well as I should have. My body showed for it too. I am proud at myself for getting on the stage regardless, but it just sparked a flame in my body to try THAT MUCH HARDER. I know I am capable of getting the body of my dreams, so now I just have to do it!
I need to lean out considerable, need to work on my itty bitty booty, and I need more mass in my upper body, this is all things that I've worked into my next program. Which, so far so good, I've been following it to a T.
I managed to walk out with a trophy, which did make me feel like 100 bucks.
And afterwards, with everyone staring at me like I am actually dumb enough to sport that spray tan all year round, I had a nice soup and salad dinner at Olive Garden with the worlds best fiance'.
A Valentines Day weekend for the books, that's for sure. <3
But onto why I am restarting my blog. Stay with me. I'm super busy!
I am taking 18 credit hours, have one more semester in school, working two jobs, babysitting two days a week, play volleyball two days a week, and getting everything ready for this amazing wedding. I keep my schedule packed, that's for sure.
But this weekend I put ALL things aside because Teresa Scanlan, who was Miss America in 2011, invited me to ride down to North Carolina with her to meet with her trainer, Lindsay Messina, who is a two time WBFF fitness diva. These two are both incredible women and have accomplished so much! I am now so excited to say I have met them both and can't wait to continue working with them.
Lindsay Messina is the founder of The Fitness Divas and she held a workshop in North Carolina that focuses on the life before, during, and after competition. We worked out, learned our T walks, and talked about nutrition among other things.
One of the best things I heard over the weekend that I needed to hear was "You come before anyone else." What they meant by that was to put yourself first. Do things for everyone else only after you've taken care of yourself. This is exactly my problem. I don't do anything for myself, or when I do, it's sparingly. I deserve the gym, not once a week or when I can make it, I deserve the gym seven days a week if I want to go seven days a week. You cannot take care of anyone else until you take care of yourself. I am getting married soon and hearing this was like a blessing to my ears, because it's true.
I am now 12 weeks, 4 days, 1 hour, and 6 minutes until my next show and after this weekend I am full steam ahead! I want to help myself and help YOU!
If you have any questions or want to talk about setting up a program, just email me at kmayvillefitness@hotmail.com
Keep coming back for more posts, I will try to post every few days now that I am 100% focused!
xoxo
