The Way I Look Today

The way I look today isn't going to be how I look tomorrow! Today I worked my quads until they shook! Tomorrow I will have more muscle! Today I ate 100% on plan with clean and whole foods. Today I drank at least 128 oz. of water. Tomorrow my body will show me what I've done to it today.

My body will also reflect tomorrow the attitude I have today and today I feel the best I've ever felt in my life! I look the best I've ever looked in  my life. I feel vibrant, healthy and sexy! I've exceeded my own expections in my training for competition and my body shows my hard work! No matter what anyone else says, that is my truth and I believe it down to the core of me.

Last year my summer shorts didn't come out of the closet, neither did my bikini. The way I looked last year is not the way I look today. Change is possible. Amazing change is possible. I believe it and so should you!

Last week I started working heavily on my posing practice. Muscles have memory, even in posing and I want my muscles to remember the poses so well that I will know by feeling how to position my body. My poses need work and I'm glad to do it. Each step takes me closer to my goal.

This week the intensity and frequency of my workouts has changed. I'll be in the gym six days a week and increasing my cardio from three sessions to four. My eating is still geared toward muscle building so I'm on surplus calories right now. Staying on surplus calories has been a challenge mentally, but I've stayed focused on the fact that when in training for a particular event, one must do what needs to be done to prepare the body to perform at it's highest potential.

I'm six months away from the big event. I've come a long way and have more to go. The stage will be just a moment in time so I'm enjoying the journey there by celebrating a new me every single day.
