My Journey to the WBFF World Championships in Vegas

It's true that you can't make a visible change without making some major changes in your daily habits.  I haven't competed in a few years, and this year I needed a clear goal because there is something amazing that always seems to happen when I am working on one main goal, and that is that I quickly get much closer to all of my goals.  After a few weeks of mulling it over, and thinking about whether I was going to be able to commit the time to get ready, I finally decided that I was going to compete again, and the place to do it was Vegas.  I always work hard and am disciplined with my fitness, but for something like this I take it up a notch.  My training becomes more intense, and a little longer as well.  I need more rest to recover from my workouts, and there is no room for empty calories so I cut out alcohol.  That's always a tough one even for me.  So much of the social life in the city involves meeting friends for a drink, but not only are the calories empty, it also makes me tired and dehydrated when it comes time to train.  I'll be adding in one training day a week, so rest and  great nutrition are going to be crucial.  I'm looking forward to seeing the changes that I'll be making, but they won't be happening without hard work.
