Why am I doing this you ask?

What I've always wanted to do is a figure competition. I have had many reactions ranging from "You're crazy", "Why would you want to do that?", to "What attracts you to that". Well here are my reactions: I'm not crazy, I'm highly motivated. I would want to do that because I am all about pushing myself to new limits and not finding my limits but not believing to have them. I have run triathlons, 1/2 marathons, marathons, and always enjoyed strength training and fitness. But I have never truly trained for any of these. I have also thought numerous times to for once try something, start it and finish it. I'm humbled and grateful I have been active enough throughout my life to not struggle with completing these things. But when it comes to dedication to one goal, with a structure there, a strict diet and an end goal to to be in the best shape I have ever been...I've never done it. I've struggled with my weight many years despite my lungs to complete a run and I'm in no risk for my health it's truly a personal goal I have always had. What's most important it's the one that as a person, you know is the hardest thing you've ever committed to, the most rewarding to envision completing, and the one you know will help build that you inside that is yearning to grow. I gave birth to my first child 9 months ago, my beautiful daughter. I never want her to think she is restricted to do anything she wants to do and since many of us think that after birth it's just too hard....well it is hard. But it can be done. So during this first year of her life I am going to start by setting an example that you can do anything you envision doing as long as you have the passion to do it. I hope if you're stuck around long enough to read this through, you will come back and visit me often to lend support and positive encouragement along my journey. Thanks for sticking around this far!
