Parents Just Don't Understand
It would seem DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince had it right when they said "Parents Just Don’t Understand." At least that is the case when it comes to my Dad. What can I tell you about my Dad? Well he is your typical over-protective, Italian father. Growing up under his roof was not exactly a walk in the park. There were strict rules about bedtimes, grades, work, going out and for his two daughters...boys. My early high school years consisted mostly of going to school, hanging out with my one best girl friend and going to dance class. The up side to this was that I was very focused on dance; I was at the studio 3-5 days a week taking class and rehearsing.
Scuse Me? And Mighty I Add Seriously?
I'm sitting on my couch with my upper body aching and my legs trembling...my trainer kicked my ASS today!!! Sorry for the swearing but anything less just would describe the brutal workouts Ive been through the last two weeks. Im not complaining, in fact I thrive off of the pain, it pushes me to work harder but honestly the workouts are insane. They are the most dreaded and most looked forward to hour of my day. I am exactly 14 weeks away from competition day, that might sound like a lot of time but its not....at all!!!
Week One...Oh What a Week!
Last week I announced I will be competing in my first fitness competition. I'm excited for you to come along on this journey with me, and oh what a journey it is going to be! Lets just say I don't think I knew EXACTLY what I was getting myself into. Once I commit to something there's no turning back so here we go. The day after I announced I would be competing I decided to start asking for some advice, usually a good idea when entering into something you have never done before right? WRONG!!!! To many cooks in the kitchen as the saying goes, everyone had an opinion on how I should train, how I should eat, when I should compete and even if I could be successful at it.
