So I am writing this on phone cause I managed to kill my new computer! Grrr! I just really wanted to say.. I'm actually really sad to not only be there but mostly.. Not be on stage.:( I gotta tell ya, I don't know how to not be a bodybuilder! It's instinctive or something. Part of me really thought I was done and the other part is sad about it. I really still feel physique is a better solution for me. Looking at call outs today my competive nature is really coming out. Lol FBB is not going anywhere for now.. There's still too many good woman competing. No surprise that Yaxeni will win.. I hope. I'm kinda assuming Debbie's second. Could be wrong be wrong.. Hope not.
Next year baby!!!
Miss Dunbar.. Inquiring minds want to know! :)
LOL. Heather, you are crackin' me up. :) Funny you say you are motivated by it, because how it all went down (show wise), doesn't motivate me in the least, nevermind the behind the scenes stuff. I am still on track. You and I need to talk. I do know that competitive fire that you and I both have... It is fun to be able to be in shape and walk around an event like that... Heather- you were one of the best bodies of all time in this sport. You need to decide what is right for YOU. Not right for right now, but what is right for the longterm. You are very young. It's hard to step back and sometimes make the longterm type of decision. I will say for me, I already do the training, the crazy hours of cardio everyday (just because I have friends I cardio with daily), I already have suits that I've never worn, and the only thing that I'd have to do is A) buy a pro card lol., B) commit myself to a show., C) DIET 150% hardcore. Usually C is the hardest for me lol. haha. Diet is key and I know I can do what I set my mind to, but I as you read on my post, I don't want to be saggy skin and looking terrible lol.
ReplyDeleteI will support you in whatever you decide to do. I haven't seen what your physique looks like in a while, but you always had what it took. Now does your body transform into a physique body, I hope so? Quite possibly. As long as you aren't too big, you would be great. Either way, go about it for YOU and let's try to enjoy the process this time? What do you think? I think this time we need to do this with our new rules and standards... We need to chat.
AMANDA-D IN THE HOUSE!
ReplyDeleteAmanda...Am I reading what you wrote correctly...that you MAY compete again? No question that you and Missy have to do this on your own time...and do what's right for YOU.
You; Heather; Christine Roth; Britt; Cindy...the list goes on and on with those who stepped away from this crazy buisness to take care of their OWN business. Any true fan would support your decision 100%...and realize that sometimes we have to do what's best for US...
Keep kickin' it Amanda! And it goes without saying that I would LOVE to see you and Heather competing again!
Champ...I've followed FBB since the start...Rachel, Carla, Bev..thru to Cory, Linda, to present day all through reading the mags then to internet now(Youtube, etc) and going to the occasional show on the East coast...(Atlantic City, Upstate NJ, etc) and I have often wondered what motivates a person to compete at this highest level....this is not a sport with a minor league per se' with coaches, ...structure..say like in MLB or NFL...this is all on the total individual both physically and financially...unless of course endorsements for promotions are involved (but only after you win of course etc)...but...to me if you are happiest when competing and the reward outweighs the family and financial burdens...especially with traveling...then go for it..in any form you want to..but only do it if YOU want to and you have the means to support it..both $$$wise and familywise...(we know theres a lot of vocal support out there for you as the people in the FBB fanbase know you are still on the rise)so....ask yourself "Do I really want to do this for myself?" and that answer is your answer...
