Being afraid comes natural and sometimes unexpected and unwanted. As a fitness professional I have come to the conclusion that we all get afraid no matter what your fitness level is. I’m in training right now for the Tournament of Champions Figure Competition  coming up September 12th and the Border State Classics Figure Competition  coming in Oct. I’ll go on stage and be judged and critized on my body and presentation…but that’s not what is bothering me at this point. It’s swallowing my pride and getting some help on my workouts. I know what I’m doing but I just need a little spotting and extra support.

    I’m wondering if everyone feels like this… afraid or even embarassed I must say. But I know even Lance Armstrong has a coach so why can’t I or why can’t anybody?

   I went through my very first personal training session and it was so hard for me not to control what I was going to be doing. I had to give it all to my trainer and just focus on building my muscles and connecting my mind and body into the workout. Much harder than I thought but nice to not have to think about it.  I must say though I worked really hard and have been hungry all day and I mean ALL DAY! I searched all day for that comfort food because I’ve had nerves going all day about this sessions and start drinking on my Designer Whey drinks. Talk about a new comfort food… who would have thought a protein drink to comfort me AND to fuel my body for tomorrows TWO A DAY workout? I know I can’t do it without my drinks and I just want to say that having all these emotions going through me today my protein has relieved some of my tension and anxiety. It’s strange how this protein has helped me in so many ways. It’s multifunctional!!!!!!!
