[hwilliams]

So here we go:
Whether this gets read or not, its going to be my way of keeping track of my last month and a half before I compete in the Battle at the River 2012 in Women's Physique. I am getting close, I'm feeling good and I'm stoked about this new Division.
I'm going to log my workouts here for the next few weeks, post some vids, post some pics of my progress :) I feel fully confident in this!

Monday starts a new training regiment for my cardio. Im adding in some track workouts to keep my legs toned. I am THRILLED to be hitting the rubber road tomorrow morning at 4 a.m. instead of that danged stair mill :p So here goes!

Not sure how big WP will be, especially the tall class....but im not worried ;) Stay tuned!!!! This mornings cardio was awesome!!!! Looking forward to hitting the weights tonight!

Here is a little motivation:

One of the things I try and remember each morning when I wake up is that no one is making me do this. No one. This lifestyle is the way I am blessed to live my life. So if ever I'm having a moment, when I feel like I should have a "normal" life where I eat what I want, DON't wake up at 4:15 every day and go to the track, have more of a social life.... I remember this is my opportunity to be passionate about making a change. Not only in my phyical appearance, but in my relationships, my mental health....it effects my daily life. And what a BLESSING it is!

Go through old pics of yourself, or find recent progress pics and remember WHY you want to participate in the sport! It will create a new sense of purpose!!

The pics attached are from me mock show that i was 7 weeks out from. I will try and get some pics in tonight during training.

TRAIN WITH A PURPOSE!!!
