Where to begin.....
I would like to first apologize to anyone who has texted me in the past two weeks because I have been totally MIA. I have been absolutely manic at work and with lifting and cardio - I am literally eating dinner, showering and going to bed.
Whether anyone actually reads my blog or not I wanted to update everyone on my current status. I am at the age where I am on the cusp of a lot of new and exciting chapters. A lot of my friends are getting engaged, buying houses, starting families ect. I am not quite there yet but these new chapters are expensive. Being financially responsible has totally taken a backseat with my last two shows and I was spending money like it was going out of style. I had to take a step back and look at what I am spending on shows and what that money can be going towards. Competing for me is a hobby and something I enjoy but it's not my life. I want to buy a house and get married ect and I am at the stage where I have the opportunity to be putting a lot of money away towards these goals.
Cue....being an adult sucks. Making sacrifices for the greater good and therefore I will not be competing at the moment.
I want to give my 100% at my job, with my boyfriend, family, friends and SAVING money. Adding a show into the mix messes with all of this for me. I am not saying that it cannot be done but for me...at what cost? Do I want to be down to the penny before my paycheck....not really. Between how busy I am at work and a show diet....do I want to kill someone....not really. I had to look at the whole picture and all facets and it's the most responsible decision.
Soo...to my team, I am so very sorry I will not be on stage with you this Spring. I was really looking forward to the show and sharing the experience with everyone.
With all of this said...summer is still coming ya'll and I am working my ass off to lean out. I worked for months to put on some muscle and now it's a real bitch to get this fluff off! I am seeing some great changes I will say! I will post some before and after pics within the next month or so to show my progress....but....I can see some abs again....there is a god!
