I grew up an athlete, always active and involved! I played golf in college and although I trained And practiced my butt off I never once worried about my nutrition. Standing 5'9 I was always a bit lanky. Once I graduated I threw in the towel for my golf career and went straight to work. After about a year I noticed I had gone from lanky to "skinny fat".
The first change I made was joining a crossfit styled gym called Lift Strong Run Fast. The programming was crazier than any crossfit "WOD" and it really challenged me. I started at 145lbs--weak as ever! Within a couple months I had gained size and muscle and also put on 5lbs. After about 9 months at my gym I started seeing a nutritionist! I already ate very clean but was making little mistakes. My first weigh in with my nutritionist was October 6, 2012 and I was 147 lbs and 24.3% body fat! Just 4 weeks later I checked back in at 142.1 and 19.7% body fat. And I am currently 135lbs and 16.3% body fat. That is 8% in 3 months!!
With having said a bit about myself it is obvious that I want to compete out of the pure love of competition! I am used to following plans to reach my goals. I have been very realistic and understand that this is a going to be a very tough journey but definately believe the reward will be worth it! I plan to get more in tune with myself and my body. I love the challenge and am SUPER excited to have someone to do it with! All I had to say to Kristin was, "I am going to compete in The Texas Shredder." Instantly she jumped aboard and asked if she could join! Undergoing this experience with her is going to make it that much more exciting! I will have someone to complain too when I am hungry and tired!
I will be updating on my daily diet, training and posing! Keep posted :)
