A BODYBUILDER'S DIARY: 11 WEEKS OUT

BY KRISTYN LIA

I am currently counting down the hours until I get to walk out of the office door for the last time in 2017. This year has been epic and my brain is tired. I am looking forward to spending a week running around mindlessly catching up with friends, family, training, weighing food and wearing bikinis. 

I am getting the ITCH to spend. This always happens to me as I get leaner.. it seems that low bodyfat goes hand in hand with buying new things... My mind is constantly racing with new things that I could be buying… This prep I will restrain myself…. But new things are sooo pretty! 

Now I am being really good and my fiancé and I have managed to save enough the last few months to pay off our entire wedding next year….. say what? That’s right….  This girl is getting married!! 2018 will certainly be the biggest of my life…

I've been with my fiancé now for almost 7 years and engaged for 6. He has always got my back and he grounds my hectic mind. He has provided me with unlimited amounts of support during our time together and almost every day I get home to a little gift or something loving he has done to make my life that little bit easier. The gentle giant... if you know him you love him. I don’t really divulge much into my personal life on social media. Some things are precious and held close to the heart. My little family is just that. Its something private and comforting, a piece of me that is all mine.

AS PART OF OUR FOCUS FITNESS THIS SUMMER, STING ATHLETE KRISTYN LIA WILL BE PUBLISHING "A BODYBUILDER'S DIARY" ON HER ROAD TO THE ARNOLD CLASSIC 2018 IN MELBOURNE.
