10 Weeks to First Competition – Figure, Fitness Model and Bikini Posing and Measurements

I am now 10 weeks out from my first show. I started my fat loss plan just 2 weeks ago and I have alread dropped over 2% body fat and 3 lbs of fat. Not muscle. Not water. 3 lbs of fat. In just 2 little weeks.

Are you ready to see my progress pics from just 2 weeks?

I am sharing my posing pics with you each Wednesday so you can see my weekly progress and get motivated! I’m taking you on my journey with me!

I’m hoping that by watching me, you will become motivated to make your own healthy changes each and every day.

Keep in mind I am feeding my body to create these changes. I cannot stress this enough. I do NOT recommend cutting your calories too low. I DO recommend choosing the right types of foods that will help you achieve your goals. Don’t focus so much on calories. Focus on the types of foods you are eating.

I am eating about 1800 calories a day of real, whole food, doing 45 minutes of cardio a day at about 65% of my max, drinking about 2 gallons of water a day, and doing weight bearing exercise 6 days per week.

I am not keeping the pathway to my goal a secret and I’m not selling it to you. I’m giving it to you for free!

You can see my complete diet. You can see my workouts and follow along at home. Watch me and see it’s possible! Let my authenticity help to motivate you and inspire you. This is real life. This is how it’s done. It’s work, but it’s worth it. Make the decision to live a healthy life!

I may decide to also compete as a bikini and fitness model competitor in organizations that allow women to crossover into different divisions.

In my heart I feel like I’m a figure competitor, but my current body type presents much more like a bikini or fitness model competitor since I lost some muscle while I recovered from my biopsy, and my muscularity wasn’t very mature to begin with.

So what’s the difference between figure, fitness model, and bikini competitors? The body types, rules, suits, posing, and judging criteria are different for each different category. You can check out the main differences in each, and how I’m making my decision, in the post titled: Bikini, Fitness Model or Figure?

What I am noticing the most about these progress pics is that my butt seems to be defying gravity. In just 2 short weeks I have sculpted it to be higher, tighter, and youthful. That’s what exercise and eating properly does! It defies gravity, slows your aging process, and rekindles the fire of youth within you.

Try any of my butt and thigh workouts and check out my  diet if you want to know how I’m getting these results.

The human body is an amazing gift. You are it’s steward. You are it’s protector. Treat it well. Respect it. Fuel and treat your body like it’s a fine machine it is and it will do wonders for you.
