Fun Fact : In 2022, I competed in my first bobdybuilding competition, as a Figure competitor (WILD!) This is from someone who spent most of my life until my early 20s as a VERY overweight person. While health and fitness have been a central part of my life for several years now, a bodybuilding competition was not on my agenda (until it was). This video was filmed just a few weeks before the big day. The journey was draining but SO empowering, and a journey I truly enjoyed. There is something special that happens when you push yourself past previous limits to prove to yourself just what you are capable of. I had the privilege of working with my incredible coach, Lesley Chin (who also competed that year), and the support of the rest of my #FamilyinFitness at The Performace Lab. My daughter, Eliza, watched me train for many months and was in the audience at the show. She still talks about my "posing" until today. It may have been my first bodybuilding competition, but it will not be my last (thinking about a go at powerlifting too 🤔). What I leart from my first bodybuilding competition: 1) Lift Heavy Things. 2) Cardio is not fun but it doesn't have to be boring. 3) You can live on chicken breast and asparagus. 4) Do it Anyway. 5) Your body will go where your mind can lead it. 6) Coaches are a must. 7) Say no to things that don't serve you. Don't be afraid of challenging yourself and stepping into uncharted waters. You may just find a better, stronger version of yourself. #FitMom #LabFam #ThisMamaLifts #CaymanIslands
