#1stfigurecompetition

Long but worth a read..... It's important for me to continue showing you where I started when I decided that I wanted to try bodybuilding...in 2014. It took me years to get here & I still have areas to grow into, others, took a shorter route....neither is better...just preference. Why do I keep sharing? Cause if you never wanted to step foot on stage yet wanted to look like you could if you wanted to....yet someone discouraged you.....put your 🎧 on and get to work....anyway! Live full die empty! It's amazing what hard work in the gym, dedication, discipline, determination and an amazing nutrition plan can do! March 2014....this was 2 months before I hit the stage for my #1stfigurecompetition and my first time EVER trying on a 2 piece swimsuit😬... I made good progress from Jan 2014 to May 2014 for my first competition....and did several other competitions...yet,, I didn't become a serious contender until July 2016....... The big difference was NOT my training, cause, that year, I trained less than the previous years.....it was my nutrition plan. 🙂 Heard the saying, "When the student is ready....the teacher will appear"? It's absolutely true....if we keep arguing that we're "doing everything we're supposed to be doing", yet aren't humble enough to listen to mentors, trainers and coaches who are more experienced and smarter than we are & have our best interest.....we'll keep getting the same results. I'm really masterful in nutrition, however, I'm smart enough to know that I have blindspots so I hire someone else to help hold me accountable and make sure those blindspots aren't missed before I step foot on the stage. Long story shorter.....if you think you're going hard yet, you're not consistent with your nutrition & it isn't aligned with your goals....hire someone to hold you accountable until those previous inconsistencies become 2nd nature...like breathing. Oh....and age means nothing! I've seen some incredibly fit men and women that are over 40, 50, 60 & 70! #noego #fitfam #fitspo #nutritioniskey #roadtonationals2020 #stayhumbleandhungry #bodybuilding #tbt #mevsme #relentless #committed #defytheodds #feliciastarksfitness #tcmnationals https://www.instagram.com/p/CDedfOoD8YI/?igshid=mrmnpuqotl8x

It's great to dream....even better to LIVE your dreams! . 👉🏾What dream is on your mind constantly that you haven't taken action on???? Nothing is impossible We're gonna go waaaay back...way back to the beginning! So much can be said....but, I won't! I still ❤ this sport and I'll keep going with the goal of earning my procard & to see what my body can do! I still love the contest day jitters and remember what I looked like when I started. Humble beginnings often leads to great things! #stayhumbleandhungry I will NEVER forget...All throwbacks aren't always flattering yet can still inspire someone on their own journey to never despise small beginnings. If you cannot stop thinking about it, don't stop working on yourself for it. 2019 competition season is gonna be bananas! I started at 39 so there's no limit to how far you can go when you call BS on all the "talk" and put action to it! .

Happy #throwbackthursday I remember being so nervous to post this photo....4 years ago.... Wow! - Never compare your chapter 3 to someone else's chapter 39💋....we all had to start somewhere and the beginning will look different. Don't despise the beginning, it will surely help someone else who is silently fighting a similar battle of improving their self confidence. Here's what I originally posted 4 years ago: - I decided to share my progress photos after talking myself out of it about 3 times because I was concerned (for about 5 seconds) about the comments or opinions of others but remembered a conversation I had with my awesome Mom yesterday about me being a shy and that I just had to go for it and get over myself. One aspect of this journey has been for me to get comfortable being uncomfortable in order to get where I desire to be....what's uncomfortable? Taking selfies and showing skin that isn't flattering but that I know is looking better weekly....and the ultimate is being confident enough to walk out on stage in front of thousands...in a 2 piece without a care in the world and not hesitate but boldly take each step across the stage as if I have already won! The support of my son and family has been phenomenal and I'm so grateful for them! #6weekprogress #inspiringyouintoaction #personaltrainer #figureprep #fitchick #eatcleantraindirty #eatcleanbelean #fitness #fit4life #fitmomslift #fitafter40 #fitspo #fitfam #lookback #momswholift #momswholovefitness #1stfigurecompetition #beyou #progressnotperfection #2014ronniecolemanclassicprep
