Hi my friends! Well where should I began? O, I got it the surgery that had me on the outs for a very long two months. I completed my 2nd fitness show back on December 5th & placed last out of I want to say 18 or 19 girls, wasn't too happy. I felt I worked super hard & expected to do better. The pains that I were having were over looked, I thought my workout routine was the cause of me feeling the way I felt. The week prior to the show, I decided to take it easy, & I pretty much did nothing from that point leading up to the surgery date.
The reason for the surgery was a cyst that had grown the size of a grapefruit. I have what they call endometriosis, which is a disorder in which bits of tissue from the inner lining of the uterus grows inside a woman's body, outside of the uterus. With this being my 2nd surgery I already knew all that it entailed. So I had the surgery & was out of work for 2 weeks, which I must say I didn't miss one part of that place what so ever! The surgery went well & the doc's were able to salvage my ovary, yay! From that point I layed up & ate & layed up & ate & I did this for a total of 7 weeks, & no GYM what so ever in this picture! I gained TEN pounds, I went from 140 to 150, not alot to some but for some one who stayed in the gym & ate right it was just no good & I didn't feel like myself.
Finally I came back I got out of the rut the surgery placed me in I paid a trainer to get me
back on track& was feeling like myself again. I attached my before & after pics below so you can see the changes that took place from not working out for two months & eating crazy... to four months of hard training. I felt good & looked better. I saw the changes & was doing well. So will I go back to competing? Of COURSE, & I DID go back up there this past August. NO, I didn't win or place. I was last again but we will talk about that on another blog post so stay tuned...
Lastly I want to leave you with this, there will be bumps in the road to your success. Don't let that be an excuse that holds you back from getting to the top! I will continue to keep heading to the top, & I will continue to get over whatever bumps that come my way & YOU should too!!!
