So…I started to work with a really great life coach named Holly Rigsby (I highly recommend her if you are having trouble Life-ing) and she suggested that I start blogging to figure out what was holding me back or even just to share what I’ve been going through. I am a 44 year old mother of 5 (!!!) and I am also a bodybuilder. I have a competition coming up in June, which I am looking forward to. In years past, I have fought my brain and my heart EVERY step of the way. And it’s just time to stop the internal struggle, you know?

And what I have officially decided to state is that I am DONE WITH HIDING. I think that I have been hiding my whole life.  Hiding for safety for the most part, but also just hiding. Hiding how I felt about food, love, my body…you name it.  And as I was doing the work (as Holly calls it) I realized that not only was I SICK of hiding I was  done with it for good.

THIS IS THE END TO HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT.

I workout every week–sometimes by myself, sometimes with my amazing husband (honestly, he really is) and my trainer, Will. I also track my food on MyPlate and my workouts on BodyBuilding.com. I have measurements done every week and I promise to post them because…I’m done with hiding.  You can join me (or not) as I go through this. And try not to eat my feelings. Or…no that’s pretty much the biggest demon that I face: eating my sadness and stress.

Stay tuned. K
