Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Weigh Ankor, my weight loss journey blog. Today, I’m thrilled to share an exciting update: I’ve made it to the quarterfinals of the Muscle and Fitness Hers competition!
Winning the Group Round
The competition kicked off with a group stage consisting of five intense rounds. Each round saw participants getting knocked out, and the pressure was on to stay in the game. To my amazement and gratitude, I emerged victorious in my group, securing my spot in the quarterfinals. This achievement alone is a testament to the incredible support I’ve received from all of you.
The Challenges of Asking for Votes
One of the most challenging aspects of this competition has been the voting process. Votes are crucial for advancement, and you can vote every 24 hours. This means I have to ask for your support consistently day in and day out. It’s been a humbling experience to reach out repeatedly, knowing there’s a fine line between encouraging votes and feeling like I might be annoying people.
Staying Positive Through It All
The journey so far has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. The competition is long, and staying positive has been tough. There are moments of doubt when I wonder if people are tired of hearing my story or if I’m pushing too hard. But every time I feel this way, I remind myself of why I started this journey and the incredible community that stands behind me.
Taking It Day by Day
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned during this competition is the importance of taking it daily and staying consistent. It’s very similar to my experience in the CrossFit gym. We show up daily, do what we can, and keep at it repeatedly to see results. For me, it’s about showing up every day online, asking people to vote for me, reaching out, and tagging. Hopefully, that’s all I need to do to get people to vote for me.
The Power of Community
What keeps me going is the unwavering support from friends, family, and followers. Every vote, every word of encouragement, and every share of my story fuels my determination to keep pushing forward. It’s a humbling reminder of the power of community and how much we can achieve when we stand together.
Moving Forward
As I move into the quarterfinals, I’m more determined than ever to give it my all. I’ll continue sharing my story, asking for your votes, and pushing myself to new heights. The competition has been a significant part of my weight loss journey, showing me the importance of perseverance, resilience, and the strength that comes from within and from the support of others.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Your votes, support, and belief in me mean the world. Let’s keep this momentum going and see how far we can go together in the Muscle and Fitness Hers competition!
Keep weighing ankor!
With gratitude,
Ashley
