How Things Have Changed!
From My First Bikini Comp In 2011 To My Last Show In 2016.
In 2011 I gave myself 8 weeks to get ready for this show.
I did the "clean eating" thing - no sugar, no dairy, no fruit, no bread with
a cheat meal once a week. I was hit and miss with tracking my food.
I didn't even track my progress. I just started off doing it for fun and because someone I trusted said I should give it a crack.

I did cardio in the morning and upper body/ body part splits
- and I thought I looked amazing at the time. In fact- I did look amazing for that time. I taught myself posing - clearly, I wasn't very good!
I even got told to "put my arms down this isn't bodybuilding" and I walked away with second place.

Two weeks later I went to the nationals.
In that time I gave everything 100%.
I watched youtube videos on the top fitness models posing. I watched them for hrs and practiced till I got it right.
I walked home with 1st place.

Fast Track 5 Years Later

I do less training than I have ever done before, I am the strongest I have ever been in my life and I eat ALL food groups without any guilt.
Thank god, my posing has improved.
Everything has improved.

I Didn't Suddenly Transform, I Progressed.

I learned by trial and error.
I worked with coaches.
I worked on my mindset.
I found a sustainable and enjoyable way to train and eat and I fell more and more in love with my process and the Sport.

I gave myself small wins along the way like strength and performance based goals. Those small wins gave me confidence.
I love being able to look back and see how far I have come.

Keep pushing for greatness.
Love and Light Hattie

P.S. I'll email you tomorrow about how YOU can make start to make better progress.
It's practical stuff you can use straight away.

P.P.S. I have three spots coming up in The Sports Model Project.
It's only for women who have been doing hard resistance training for a
few years and now want to go to the next level.
