( The good, the bad, the ugly )
Hey guys!
Most of you may already know, but for those of you who do not… This mama of three decided to take a huge leap out of my comfort zone and compete in the Beachbody Classic!
What's the classic you ask?
Well…. The Beachbody Classic is a physique competition open to both men and women who primarily use Beachbody fitness programs to achieve and maintain their physique.
Which means…… All of this...in a tiny bikini...on stage in front of thousands being judged on my physique…sounds awful right? haha!
So why am I doing it?
I've always avoided things like this, comparing myself to others, putting myself out in a vulnerable situation, and altering my eating plan to look a certain way instead of just to be healthy and fit. I've been careful when it comes to judging myself, extreme dieting, and weight ( I still don't own a scale or plan on getting one) just because of my past and how easily it can become a unhealthy habit.
However, I've come a long way in the past 7 years and feel that I can handle it!
A big part of growing is stepping out of your comfort zone…..whew baby i think I missed the step and took a giant leap instead!!
I don't feel too pressured going into this because it's all about showing off your hard work with your beachbody programs. I'm sure there will be people on that stage who have coaches, who are training in the gym, and have a meal plan and schedule set out for them…. But the fact that I'm doing this ON MY OWN… Me a mom of three, a stay at home, workout at home, no coach, self motivating mom of three …. Well that's just pretty darn amazing and quite the accomplishment if you ask me! I mean don't get me wrong... I ask for advice from others doing the competition, we have our own little community going on, sharing tips and helping each other out they are all awesome!! but when it comes down to it… I'm doing this on my own, and that empowers me, motivates me, and keeps me pushing to show it can be done and you can accomplish your goals as long as you work hard for it!
I’m not just doing this for me, I'm also doing this for all of the other mamas out there… The ones who feel they are not good enough, the ones who struggle with self confidence, self worth, the ones in that deep dark hole we call depression that takes away so much from us that it’s hard to enjoy your life, your kids, your family…
THIS IS FOR YOU.
I've been there and I want to show you there is a way out. If I can do this, you can do this, WE CAN DO THIS together!!
Stay tuned there's more to
Come!Xoxo
Amanda
