So in order to set a date on my fitness goal I have made the decision to do a "fitness photo shoot". Originally I was going to do a "fitness"/bikini competition to put a final date on my goal. I think by having a date on the books drives me to be more strict with myself. However, the more that I looked into these competitions the harder I knew it would be. First of all, the thought of getting on stage with other women who are probably twice as dedicated as I, sprayed tanned, in a crazy "bling" suit almost makes me laugh. I was ready to do this in my mind, but knew I would be totally out of my comfort zone. I was looking into a bikini competition rather than fitness since the body fat was slightly higher, however, I think I was missing one other qualification no matter how perfect my body.... my chest would not be able to compete ;) The second factor was the next bikini competition in MN was not until next year and that is a long time to train and I wanted to shoot for something sooner.
Anyways, after talking this through with some people I have decided to do a photo shoot to put a similar goal on the calendar and then document my experience. I know this also may sound corny and might also be out of my comfort zone, but it is more me! I am looking to set a date in late September/early October. I think this will give me the time to build my muscle and lean up. I am trying to convince Jeff to beef up a little and join me in my pursuit of optimal health and document it ;)
Well I better hit the gym.
In health,
Olivia
