NPC Bikini Prep

Once upon a time, I competed in an NPC bikini competition.  It was a goal from my 20s, but I never thought I had the discipline to stick to a strict diet and exercise plan for 3 months, so I avoided it for years.  I finally committed to a show and entered my first competition in 2014, and then did a second one in 2015.  I didn’t realize it until the week before that show that I was 5 weeks pregnant with Jordan!  It’s amazing how you can change your body in such a relatively short period of time.  There’s also a huge mental component of bikini prep that I found surprising, but very rewarding.  If you are considering competing, I say go for it! You will make yourself so proud and be amazed at your physical and mental capabilities. You can do it!
