Topic- Support

Support is all around us. One thing I
have learned from competing in the Mrs. Colorado pageant is that although
support is all around us, it has to start from your heart. I have learned that once you love yourself and
open your world up to those who love you, the support flows to you and it is
incredible.
The first year I competed in Mrs.
Colorado, I was so scared to tell people because I was worried that either they wouldn’t think
I was pretty enough or they would think I was coincident because I was entering
a beauty pageant, etc. I mean the list “of
doubt” went on and on. Then slowly, the
word got out and all the people that loved me came out to support me. I was overwhelmed by the kind words of
encouragement and support that poured out not only from friends and family,
but, from my community.
As Mrs. Colorado, I continue to be
overcome with gratitude for all the people that are here for me. Tonight I attended the Body Statement Gym and
saw one of biggest cheerleaders Tiffany Yee.
When I was training for Mrs. Colorado and Mrs. America, she was that little voice in my ear saying, “come on, you can do this.”
This last week, I heard that little voice again when Tiffany invited me to attend her seminar
to learn more about the Rocky Mountain National Championships competition that will occur on
April 28th. Now, I will be
honest, this girl (me) has tacked on some poundage since Mrs. America and when
Tiffany asked me to come down and consider competing in a fitness competition
it had me in serious self-doubt. I also
had to put my vanity aside, strip down, and let her pinch my fat (there’s
plenty of it) so she could get a full assessment. Trust me; it wasn’t pretty however Tiffany
still left me feeling like a million bucks. Tiffany’s positive energy is
infectious as all of her trainers make you feel like you can overcome any
obstacle.
As I sat and listened to Tiffany share
tips and tricks at her workshop tonight, I pondered about the idea of competing
in my first ever fitness show. I looked
around the room and not only felt so inspired by Tiffany and staff, but, by all
the people who sat beside me. From mom’s
wanting to get back into shape to people who have dreamed about fitness from the time they
were a child. In that moment, we all
held the same dream, the dream of knocking down barriers, being the best we can
physically be, and achieving a rigorous goal of stepping out onto that stage.
