Where to begin... I always find this to be the hardest part. The beginning. I want to say Im here now and this is only the beginning but I think a few chapters have already been written. This competition marked the 2 years since I started bodybuilding.. My support team has grown in ways I never even imagined. Ive been told I inspire & motivate others in their own ways through my drive & passion. Its for that reason I never settle for 2nd best or allow myself to fall too far. This is about falling and getting up repeatedly. The greats never go to where they were by giving up after a hard battle or tough loss.. I was able to open my eyes for a moment Saturday night standing on Stage as we waited for placing and seeing the love and support from the people who got me to where I am whether they realize it or not - Chris Hertelendy, Nicole Sargis, CJ Blake, Kristina Ann, Matt Holden, Jess Zucco, Mark Iocco, Joe Scarinci, Ifbb Pro Marco Rivera, Darin Montanari, Victoria Segrave Wbff Pro, Ilene Boyar, Minna Katariina, Carla Salotti, Jack Caulfield and many more.. - it left me with an overwhelming sense of pride. Not for me, but the fact that they believe that Im capable of achieving my goal. Yesterday after a rough morning I was so fired up we, CJ & I, would stop at nothing to get him his bodybuilding trophy we worked so hard for. All I wanted that night was to bring him that 1st place title. And We did. Then something else incredible happen... I watched one of my best friends not only win novice but open also after a long 12 weeks of grinding it out she got what she deserved - 1st place. Twice. Have to love watching you grow Jess Prepping for your first show isnt easy, its nerve wracking, stressful, and physically draining. My boy Joe came up big and stepped on that stage. Then realized hes thirsty for more. Both of you left me extremely proud and filled with joy to watch you both succeed. We have goals - what separates us from some others is our willingness to push boundaries, pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off.. Together. With love and support from ALLL of you. The texts, the Facebook posts, messages, comments and calls were enough to make me realize Ive found what Ive been searching for. I thank you all so so much you have no idea how truly blessed I am to have this support. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
