Decisions Decisions... BIG EXCITING DECISIONS!

Well i have been toying with this idea for quite some time now...To be, or not to be: that is the question.... thats all i remember from Shakespeare lol. You see, on a whole i've been in a pretty good place. My training has been going A for AWESOME, my food choices probably average at about 85% over the course of a week and even though i whine and grumble about not being PERFECT (and overeating my body weight in PB lol), i'm still doing enough to keep myself in pretty fine form:


BUT I have come to the point now where 'pretty fine' just doesn't cut it anymore. It's time to step it UP. I've come to realise that the difference between 'pretty fine form' and 'smoking hot form' is a BIGGER goal. Yep that is right. Although OBB is a challenge, it is MY own challenge and therefore there is no real urgency in it. I can keep delaying the DEADLINE when it suits me. No one is forcing me to crack a camera lense pose in front of a camera, no one will slap my bottom if i have 10 treat meals instead of 3, no one will know if i have an extra TBSP or 5 of PB. You get my drift?

So after spending yesterday thinking; texting Steph back and forth and chatting with my mentor Jenny, i have decided that it is time to CHANGE my CIRCUMSTANCES...

I've always been a competive gal. I thrive on the excitement of competition. Competing helps me focus, it energises me. It creates a shift in my mindset and brings out the best in me. Competing is what encourages me to excel to the fullest of my potential. SO for that reason, i have decided to....

COMPETE  in the ANB Asia Pacific International: Fitness Model Division in June!

That is exactly 16 weeks tomorrow. I have an exciting adventure ahead of me I can't wait to dust off my stripper heels and strutt my stuff on stage once again. It's going to be a very delicate juggling act to balance full-time work, part-time uni, training and comp prep but i am up for the challenge. UNI is definitely my first priority and unlike my party days previous degree where my attitude was 'you only need 50% to PASS',  I would really like graduate with Honours this time around. So i will become Little Miss Non-Procrastinator Organised. Watch me.

On a final note, my journey to the stage WILL be a healthy balanced one. I'm guessing i will need to drop 5-7kg but by NO means will i do anything EXTREME. I know from past experience that the more extreme your contest prep is (diet and training) the more likely it is that you will suffer an extreme rebound. And if that was to happen to me i would be utterly devastated. I will not sacrifice my health for a competition, it's just not worth it.

The personal journey of comp prep is something that you can not buy. You can only experience it. I know this will be a journey of strength and growth and I am looking forward to bringing a hot, sexy package to the stage.Whether i place or not does not matter (mega cool if i do!), its the accomplishment of committing 100% to a goal that will be the most rewarding part.


Look out JNL!
