Here I am... First show behind me and ready for more. I will share some of my deepest thoughts and wonders and will continue with being true to myself!
I started this blog to share some of my fears and worries about training for a bikini competition and now I am sharing this blog to show you that it can be done, that if you want some bad enough it can be accomplished.
I am now training for my second bikini competition in December and I more than ready for this journey to begin!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
My vision board that I made at the beginning of summer
I want to look like her at the next show… or more realistic in life :)

A fellow bikini girl wrote this in her blog and the moment I was done reading it I felt like I had written this……
“So words gotten around to my family, friends, coworkers, that I am doing another show. And their first comment usually is,
“WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY? You must be crazy, you’re insane girl!”
And I’m like….really? Am I really crazy? Really.
Well maybe I am a little crazy, but good crazy….right?
I think once you’ve had a taste of what it feels like to really be strong and committed and striving for a goal that will truly bring only good things into your life, no matter how tough it is…it doesn’t feel right to not have anymore! I know I won’t do bikini competitions forever (well I think not but never say never I guess haha!!!) and I will have to find a more balanced life with the eating and working out. But for now, I am happy to be a little “crazy” and get up at 4:30am to work out and sculpt my “shelf” and carve out some abs. yeeeee!”
A lot of people are saying to me “is this safe are you sure you should do another one so soon” ” nicole you look great stop when you can” or the great EYE ROLL!!! WTF is up with that…???? For the first time in my life I and SO TRULY HAPPY with what I see and feel when I look at myself! We all have a path we follow and we all can’t take the same path because if we do it will be boring and really crowded :) I have always loved lifting weights and going to the gym so why not make it apart of my life style. After the December show I will take a break and not train so hard for a show, but believe me I will still eat clean and follow the same rules. I only have this body I can’t trade it in for another so i need to keep it going and healthy
“And yes we might be a tad crazy, but we are LIVING and very few people LIVE in their bodies. its not just a shell its a machine!!! and ours will be well oiled and maintained and running superb 
”
BACK TO TRAINING!!!!!
