Back to Attack

That's me on the left along with a dear friend of mine
who shall remain nameless.
Listen, I know it's been a while. Like, well over a year, a while. For that, I apologize. But for the record, I didn't quit my bikini competition. On the contrary, I got that shit done and got on stage (picture provided for proof).

Pay no attention to the fact that, in my three bikini classes, I came in last, second to last, and third to last. Simply pay attention to the fact that I accomplished the goal I set for myself and that I felt confident in the way I looked for about eight solid weeks of my existence.

And then I ended the competition prep. And I ended my overly-constraining diet. And I ended all healthy eating altogether. So now, I'm back up in weight, but more important, in lack of drive, as I was when I began at the end of last July.

It's been an incredibly difficult past few months. I've been trying to find my next challenge while reading about dietary lifestyles [read: not diets] that are the most realistic based on my life and my goals.

New Goal One: Use my struggles and sorrows to motivate others. How? Through this website (hopefully). I want it to be an open and honest communication as I work to realign my lifestyle with my healthy goals. I ask: please follow along.

Kristine.
