Twenty days out and I am feeling good! Had a great posing session this morning and finally stopped comparing my physique to that of other competitors. This is MY body and I know I worked my BUTT off for this. I need to be proud of where I am and MY best physique. I have been worried this whole prep about how others have more rounded shoulders or bigger glutes or a wider lat spread. Today I looked in the mirror and actually saw that this is the hardest I have ever worked for something. And I am proud of that. I can't wait to get on stage and have friends and family there cheering me on.
Our spring break trip to Florida was great. I pretty much stayed on track with diet and exercise, though it was challenging at times to keep the lifting as intense with the limited equipment available. I got creative enough that it worked. :)
I had a wonderful time visiting my in-laws and they were so great with encouraging me all week! Here are a few photos from the trip:

This past week has been crazy with school work and hiring new group exercise leaders at work. We also opened up a new position and are looking for another Graduate Assistant to work with me next year so interviews have been taking place for that as well. I expect these next 20 days to fly by and I am looking forward to seeing some of my closest friends at the show on April 14th. So excited they are traveling here to see me compete!
Time to get back to homework but I will definitely be writing more as I am preparing for the show these next couple of weeks! God bless!
