Why fitness modelling is for me

Welcome to my blog guys!! I've started up this blog so everyone interested in my journey can get a better understanding about my lifestyle as a fitness model and of course I’m blogging to help you guys too whether it be in fitness, health, motivation, life, beauty, modelling, clean eating recipes and anything else you guys would like to know. I’m here to help and inspire..
The point of my blog is so you guys can get a better understanding of who I am as a person.. I know you all may see what’s on facebook or Instagram but we all know we only share what we want people to see so of course life seems perfect haha.
But here I will be very honest and open for those who are interested and want an insight into my lifestyle.
 

I chose to do this lifestyle for many reasons; I have always been into sports when I was younger I cant even begin to explain how competitive I was.. I was extremely active and still am :)

I don’t drink alcohol and I’ts been that way for a few years (for many reasons) I may have one or half a drink once in a blue moon because I want too.. It’s normally when I’m in a comfortable environment and no ones told me to have a drink - if you tell me to have a drink or make a big deal that I don’t drink then I will most definitely not have one with you Haha.

 

Another few reasons as to why this lifestyle is for me is because I’m not too social.. mostly because I work 2 jobs and one being a makeup artist therefore I work all those hours people are social for;) and also have my modelling that I work on in my free time

 

One day I thought I wanted to do something different with modeling.. be apart of a new world and I remember my partner telling me years and years ago about fitness comps but this wasn’t big back then and I didn’t know how to start or know anyone who did it. But about 1.5-2years ago I was at the gym and a few people mentioned about competing although I said no at first it planted a seed in my mind.. Slowly more and more people mentioned it and so I started to think about it.. I noticed a small amount of girls in my facebook newsfeed who competed and also one of my best friends which made my final decision and go ‘yup’ this feels like something I’d be interested in. I didn’t want to copy and it could have come across that way but I thought No’ she’s inspired me and that is a different thing. I didn’t know that many girls who did it so I was like this is a great start for me.

I felt like this lifestyle suited me and was a sport I wanted to be a part of. I am passionate and dedicated in all aspects of my life and especially in health and fitness. I was ready to start researching and get myself started.

when I mentioned to my partner that I made up my mind I’m going to be doing it remembering he was one of the people who said I should.. he says to me ‘yeh you should but I don’t think you’ll be able to do the eating part that’s the hard part’ – he says this in a concerning matter not like I shouldn’t do it but never the less I was determined to prove to myself and him I can do anything if I put my mind to it.. so the journey began.. first up how to find a trainer and nutritionist to get me to the stage :)
 
 

A lot of you may look at fitness model pics or anyone in general for that matter and go ‘ahhh I want to do what they’re doing’ but if you really think about it, maybe you just admire their efforts and success. Sometimes I think that’s the confusion. I have looked at someone’s photos and thought that exact saying and I must admit I get jealous but in my mind I must think this is amazing for them – its not what I want for myself therefore I don’t dwell on that jealous feeling, I replace it with admiration. If you think about it have you always thought about doing what they're doing, is that what you feel suits you and your lifestyle, will doing this make you happy. If so then its a go ahead to follow your dream if its not then think about what interests you, what you love doing, what makes you happy and you will be at peace with that feeling of jealousy as you know its not for you. I look at people who go on international trips for a long period of time and I get extremely jealous - jealous at the fact that they can travel anywhere they want to go and not be anxious. I get bad anxiety just thinking of being away for that long, therefore its not for me and now iv found what it is that I love doing and am focused on doing what makes me happy J

These first few blog post will be just getting to know a little background about me.. so In my next blog I will cover how I got myself started, (and gosh that was a struggle) how different healthy eating actually is (I thought I was eating healthy but my was I in for an eye opener)and i'll touch on a few other things.

Once you know my background I’ll get into my daily blogs as I’m coming up to comp prep so this way I can blog about my days, insight to how I train - with some videos attached, what I’m eating, what I’m doing that day, my moods – and their going to be extreme coming up to prep haha, some recipes, tips and how I manage my anxiety and much more. Please feel free to comment or pm my fan page with topics that you would like me to talk about :)
