Halfway Progess Pictures!

Today marks one month until my competition! I have made a lot of progress within the last 4 weeks and I am excited to see where I end up. Something you have to keep in mind is that it takes your neurological system about 6 weeks to train and strengthen your muscles, but you will not see improvement in your mass until after the 6 weeks of training. So I have to wait 1 and a half more weeks until I will start to physically build muscle fast!

Skinny Girl Strong

I have signed up to compete in my first fitness bikini competition in October. I am starting this blog to record my progress as I start training. Unlike most people, the unique thing about my journey is that I am trying to gain weight. We hear so much about the struggles of being overweight and how everyone envies the women that can eat their weight in food and not gain a pound. Well, I am one of them. I can tell you that living "the dream" is not easy. Maintaining a healthy weight has always been a struggle in my life and I have constantly been pushed to gain 5-15 pounds. Let's just say, IT IS NOT EASY. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I know there are other women out there like me and I want to dedicate this blog to them. So if you are known as the twig and want to change that, then this is the blog for you!
