So I’ve finally made the commitment to get a trainer.
Meet Krista.
One of my airbrush clients Krista [like her on FB here or check out her website here] has agree to take me under her wing and show me what to do when it come to bikini competitions. Because lets face it.. doing a competition your first time is ridiculously hard. Doing it alone.. even harder! During our little chit chat on the phone yesterday I learned a few things about competition already…
1. Different competition leagues are looking for different things… What is considered the ideal look or girl for one competition can be completely different in another.
2. Close to competition you’re most likely to start shoveling out your pockets for your bikini, shoes, tan, make up, hair, hotel… eek. But remember it’s all part of the process.
3. Be part of a team… having a bunch of girls to compete/travel/get ready for the show with makes it a lot easier. A support group is important in ALL aspects of life and can totally help you when you’re going through a tough time or a challenge [like not eating cheese for three months!!]
4. After the competition.. I’m sure we all wish we could have 7% body fat foreves but it is extremely unhealthy and you are bound to get sick BUT eating all the food you’ve been missing the day after the competition is a total nightmare for your digestive system as well. Eat right after the competition and slowly introduce the yummy foods you miss back into your diet the same way you took them out.
After talking we decided the best way to decide if I’m really ready to take the dive is to start with the clean eating habits. So of course last night I had my last hoorah [baked clams, eggplant rollantini, and pasta.. oh my!]. I’m sorta nervous for this whole clean eating thing [lets face it i do cheat a little!].. I would love/encourage anyone who had been thinking about it to start with me and share tips and tricks!
Oh ps my Zcut dvds came too, so until Krista starts to train me I’ll be doing those [plus 15 mins yoga plus 10-20 mins of running]
