Bikini comp?

So I'm going to do it. I've decided already. But not soon. I've gone back and forth about how I'd fund my bikini prep with a coach and training and all the other expenses, but dude, it's expensive. I'm guessimating about $1900+, and that's without food. $1900 for 12 weeks is about $158 per week. I thought about asking my parents to fund all of that as a birthday present, but I've weighed out the pros and cons. There's definitely more cons.

I don't like the idea of my parents paying for my interest in training and all the other expenses. If I were to pay for it myself, I probably wouldn't be able to start training until November, after I begin working. November and December are absolute holiday months so I know for a fact that I probably won't be able to really stay close to my contest prep diet. With all of that said, if I work and what not, I can save up and start training in January. That sounds really awesome! I honestly can't wait.

I'm still going to work on losing some body fat between now and then, bulking too I suppose. The last thing that I want is to be a scrawny, skinny competitor. I really would like to be the competitor that is strong and muscular, even if I end up lacking boobs.

I want this so bad, I know it's my time right now.

I'm honestly so excited to have muscular legs with my delts popping out and my back all toned while I'm posing on stage. Ugh. Wow. Here's a few pictures of inspiration.

Not my pictures. All pictures in this post linked to where I found them on tumblr.
