with a a a a a boyfriend who supports me me me and believes in in me me me me more than I I I believe believe in myself at at times It was because of his encouragement that I I I trudged on on to my next competition I I hung in there for another week and lost 5 more pounds I I I I felt good about that but still wasn’t where
I I I I should be at at the the the professional level so I I I I didn’t place in in in the the the the top three I I I I continued to to to to stick to to to to my my diet for the the the the next two months I I took my my vitamins ate the the the proper foods lifted heavy weights and did cardio 5 times a a a a a a a a a week Because of of consistent hard work I placed 1st in in my my third show show of of the the year and was determined more than ever to to to to come back to to to to the the NGA for my my final show show with a a a a a a a vengeance! I had something to to to to prove to to to to that judge!
I I did everything in in my my my power to perform my my my best The foundation was set with my my my my diet and and exercise I I practiced my my walk poses and and and routine for months Hair make-up jewelry tan and and suit by Cutting Edge Posing Suits were perfected I I I came in in in in in the best that I I I ever had in in in in in my entire bodybuilding career! I I earned 1st place place in in in in in the the PRO PRO Figure Figure Master’s category and in in in in 2nd place place in in in in PRO PRO Figure Figure Open at at the the NGA Ken- tucky Bluegrass Bodybuilding Championships It really didn’t matter what what I I I I had had placed because I I I I was thrilled with my results and what what I I I I had had had accomplished Even the judge that I I admire had had congratulated me me me me on on my improvements That meant more to me me me me than I I can can express in words! I I hope that others can can learn a a a a a a a a a a valuable lesson through my experience Gaining more more than 15% above my stage weight made it much more more difficult to be ready in in in fin in time for my first show I finally realized that bodybuilding is is truly a a a a a a a a a a year-round lifestyle There is is no “on” or “off ” ” season It’s what you you do every day that affects the the package you you you bring to to the the the stage Remember to to always grow through the the the challenges you’re faced with and to appreciate them because because of that The reason I I feel successful after every competition is because because I I learn something new Stay humble through your journey and help oth- ers along the way n n With No Off-Season!
