My "AHA" Moment

As you may know I have been prepping for my first NPC Bikini Competition.  It has been quite a journey filled with pain, tears, meltdowns, long workouts, sacrifice, perfect diet, no treats and rebirth.  I can honestly say I hit a wall many times I didn't think I was going to make it, but my mind said NO do not quit you got this, keep going!!  And I pushed past them, emerging now reborn with a sense of self empowerment I thought I had lost. 

You see earlier in the week I was hitting a wall and let self doubt start taking me over, then I changed my thoughts to positive and my "WHY". At that moment it hit me like a Bomb, I am a few weeks away from stepping onto the NPC stage and competing. This is a Dream I have had for 20 years!  Since I was 20 years old, started teaching aerobics and beginning my fitness journey,  I have always wanted-to grace   the stage.  And now through all my challenges, hardships, hard work, and life I stayed with that dream, never letting go of it.  

I felt like a bolt of lighting hit me!  It was at that moment I started to feel reborn, emerging a Woman on fire!  Everything I have always wanted and have been working for I'm so close to achieving. I'm becoming the Athlete I was born to be, planning the Wedding of my Dreams on an Island with the man of my dreams.  All those moments of struggle and praying to God are coming true!  

Knowing this is only the beginning of a new chapter that I'm sure will be filled with great things, I know there will also be times of struggle and challenges, I will defeat and contour them all.  I'm not where I want to be yet, but I'm working on that everyday, one step at a time just trying to be better than I was yesterday.  

This journey has been life changing and I can't wait to grace the stage for my first time, it doesn't matter if I win, the only thing that matters is I'm doing it!  I will learn and grow from this expierence and bring the best Me package possible.  But next time I am going for the win, this is only the beginning, I will go on to become an IFBB Pro, and compete for Ms. Olympia!  Look out NPC here I come!!

God Bless and thank you for all your support through this journey.  I am open to help support all of you as well just reach out to me and we can connect email me personally. fitbychristine@gmail.com

Have an amazing weekend!

Your Mindset

Good Morning can you believe it's March 15?!?!  Time flies doesn't it!!!

When I woke up this morning I was feeling great!  All the hard work I have been putting in, long workouts, long hours at work, and keeping my contest prep nutrition perfect has been quite challenging to say the least.  And I have to admit there were a few times this past week I didn't think I was going to make, a little voice in my mind that said forget it! ut today it really came together!  My abs look amazing, my Butt is a little higher and my weight is something it hasn't been since my 20's lol.

I didn't give up, I didn't stop, I  turned that voice off and said I Can Do This!!

I know you have been there, maybe feeling that way right now...Dont't give up!  I promise it will be worth it!

Your mind and what you think has the ability to shape everything your trying to accomplish.  If you keep that strong belief, Desire and Dream You can and Will achieve it!

I have been reading  "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolene Hill and this book has greatly helped me at this.  One thing I have kept myself doing consistently is reading or listening to personal development.  It's funny I seem to pick the book at the time that I need.  I put my faith in God and it always leads me where I need to go.  This book in paticular at this moment in my life is Exactly what my Mind needed.

Life has thrown many challenges and obstacles my way, I'm sure at you too, but I have used those memonts to get stronger, learn from them and guide me where my journey is meant to take me.  I have Dreams, Goals and a life I want to live, no one said it would be easy but I'm Doin It!!!

Day by day you can too.  So for today reflect my friend, reflect on yourself, where you want your life to go, and all the sacrifices you are making, and Believe you are already there.  Think about how you feel when you have achieved this and living your Dream.

Paint a picture of your Life the way you want to live it and think about it everyday.  Never Give Up and Keep Pushing!!

You Got This!

Have a great Saturday and God Bless!!
