I am woman...hear me ROAR!!!

I am have been wondering all week what I was going to blog about, thus the not blogging! It finally came to me today as I was driving home. I was reflecting back on the last two months which have been ridden with illness in the Conley fur children household. And I also thought about the preparation for the photo shoot last week. Now, I rarely pat myself on the back but I think I deserve a great big WOOHOO for sticking with my training program and dieting regimen while playing nurse, taxi, homemaker, cook, maid, bookkeeper etc..... Oh, and I did not mention various other factors that were playing out behind the scenes. A refinance, coaching stuff, etc.... Some would have just thrown in the towel when they were working on no carbs and cleaning up cat vomit. But me? NO...I had a goal and gosh darnit I was sticking to it. I do wonder if I would have done any better at the shoot if those factors had not played a role, but to overthink things would be pointless.

So what did I learn from this experience? Well.....I learned that I am one strong chick! If I can do what I did and get through it, then I can do anything I set my mind to! I think I knew this before, but it was just reaffirmed and put in the forefront of my mind. It also made me reflect on what I really want to do with this body. I train hard. I work hard. And I would like to do something with that. Of course, I do it for me, but I am only going to live once and I want to make the best of all my hard work. I have been going back and forth about whether I wanted to compete again or model or both. I think for now I would like to focus on the modeling and maybe compete in June. So now I have a goal and it feels great to be working toward something. Nothing may come of it, but atleast I can say I gave it my best. And as we all know, Heather's best comes with alot of other responsibilities, cleaning up cat vomit being one of them!!!
