My snapshot... I am 19 days out. No, not 19 days out from a show~ think bigger... 19 days from all three of my kids being in school all day. Its been almost a decade since I became a professional stay-at-home mom and I have experienced every emotion one can experience, from total loneliness to pure joy. I am managing to squeeze in a few gym sessions a week- I never thought that would feel like such an accomplishment, but it does and even better... I can still get 50s up for shoulder press on my own. Its the little things that make me feel like a bada$$. Every weekend for the next 3 weeks is spoken for and two of them involve me driving 14 hours to support my daughter in two soccer tournaments. The sideline is truly one of my favorite places to be. This time last year I was just weeks out from my first pro show of the year... its amazing how life can change when you allow it and prioritize it. I still dig my coffee creamer, stealing french fires, and diet soda- dont waste your time barking at me for those things... I am healthy and I enjoy them. Running has become a release for me- I sweat, I get winded, and by the time I am done I feel like Ive accomplished something. And honestly, I am not even running that far, but its enough. I will be switching gears in a few weeks and I will be testing the waters for powerlifting. Ive never trained with pure strength in mind, but thats what I would like to do and its inline with my mindset- chase the workout... not the body. ~Happy Hump Day!
