True Confidence!

Another long day at the fitness seminar in Stamford, CT. In two days I have met some truly amazing individuals. Unfortunately, I will not be attending the final day of the seminar. Instead I will be traveling to New York City to compete in the INBF (International Natural Bodybuilding Federation) Naturalmania.

Yes, I know what you are saying. How many competitions has he competed in this year. Well, the answer, after Saturday, will be 7! I actually competed last weekend in a warm-up in Southington, CT (I kept it on the down low). The show was the OCB Northern Atlantic States and initially was nothing more than a preparation for this weekend. Low and behold...I WON THE WHOLE THING!

The positive from that is it was the first time I had won an overall at a competition and I am feeling pretty confident going into tomorrow. The negative is it was the first year for the promoter at that venue thus it was not a professional qualifier so I was not awarded a Pro Card for winning.

So as I leave my fellow fitness trainers behind tomorrow I am doing something I love. In my short time on this earth I have learned if you truly love something than you should follow your heart. I truly love competing and this time I know I am not going to fall 1 point short of becoming a WNBF Pro!

I will talk to you all tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed!

Dedicated to your fitness success,
