About My Brand New Blog

I really don't have time for a new blog. But my favorite outlet is still writing and if there's one thing I'll need on this new journey it's an outlet. Unlike the original blog, Cool Baby Kid, there will be no pressure here to get posts up, list giveaways etc. I am beholden to only myself and love it!

Some background...years ago my husband was a power lifter. In making the "circuit" we happened to venture to a Ms. Fitness competition. I told him "someday I will do that" and 10+ years later I'm ready to give it a go. Since eating is one of my favorite activities I understand this will be one of the biggest challenges of my life. At least training for a marathon didn't restrict my diet since I have no qualms about tough workouts...it's the eating (or lack of it) I'm afraid of.

Almost as soon as I realized I would need some help, I remembered the husband of a colleague was a bodybuilder. Turns out he has trained ladies for Figure competitions before and was willing to take me on. Figure is something new to me since it wasn't popular "back in the day." Essentially it comprises of the Fitness competition without a routine which suits me just fine since I'm no gymnast.

So next week, after a last hurrah vacation this weekend, training will begin. I'm nervous and excited all in one and can barely wait to start, though I'm sure I'll be regretting that thought before long!!
