8 Weeks out!


I am currently just over 8 weeks out from the FitX IFBB Australia Pro Bikini show and my prep is starting to ramp up. I am really excited about getting back up on stage and can’t wait to step on stage with one of my inspirations Nathalia Melo! I am more motivated and determined than ever and my goal is to bring a better package than my last competition.

This is the best contest prep I have ever had. My mind is in the right place and i’m ready to step on stage again. At the end of the day I am competing against myself and all I want to do is improve from my last show each time I step on stage. The sport is super subjective and is based purely on the opinion of others so always remember to step on stage with the body that you want and are proud of. As I am now competing in the pro ranks I don’t expect to place but each time I will learn something to take to the stage next time.

To tell you all the truth when I thought about getting on stage again I was faced with so much self doubt and the fear of failure. It doesn't matter if it’s your first competition or your tenth competition I think that some of these questions go through everyone’s head... Will my body hold up? Will I improve from my last show? Will I look the way I want to look? Can I even do this? These questions often keep you from realising what you are capable of doing. The most successful people in the world would have had these thoughts too but the key to success is pushing them out of your head, fill your mind with positive thoughts and just get on with it. Celebrate each little success you make towards that bigger goal. The first step you take means you are that much closer to your goal and what have you got to lose?

Contest prep definitely has its ups and downs but learn to enjoy the process and keep pushing forward! 8 weeks to go... lets do this!

Keep training hard!!
