My first bikini show

I wanted to start this blog to track the progress of my foirst bikini fitness show.  I am not good with computers so this will be a work in progress.  Im going to be 30 yrears old in about 12 weeks and my goal is to do a show sometime around my birthday.  I always say I "grew up in the gym",  as my only chore in HSwas to join my brother at the gym every day. He ended up winning a few shows back then and I almost trained for one but never got the courage.  Working out the way I did worked wonders for my mental health, gave me a strong sense of myself at a young age and my body was amazing.  My family ate very healthy my whole life and now, working in an eating disorder treatment center, I thank God that I never acquired a bad relationship with food eventhough my weight had definitely fluxuated about 30lbs up or down.  I can still choose to follow any diet plan successfully but have never had a negative body image or a need to manipulate food for vanity even thought I grew up with a pretty strict low carb diet.  So here I go on my journey to bikini girl. I hope you will follow me.  Next I will post my body compisition after I get it tested. Im counting this week as week one but have been working up to it with some exercise for almost 3 weeks. SEE YOU SOON........ Ltttle Nurse Amber
