This is one of the toughest blog entries for me to date and there’s really no easy way to say what I’m about to say. So in short, I ended my 2018 contest prep prematurely a couple weeks ago. I wanted to write an in depth blog about this decision to potentially help others who may have had or who are thinking about ending their prep. With that said, the more I think about it, the more I know I need to be selfish and to do this blog for me so it can help me regain clarity and to find better peace with my decision. There’s a lot of mixed feelings I’m sorting through, but hopefully by verbally expressing my situation it will become clearer that my decision is for the best. I know this blog is more for me, but I truly hope there’s value in it for you.

That’s definitely a tough decision to come to terms with, but I have enjoyed following your journey and will look forward to seeing what’s up next for you. It takes a ton of courage to do that, I commend you for that?.
Thanks Shelly! It was a tough one for sure, but it’s definitely for the best. Since stopping my prep I’ve been fantastic, so it was definitely the wisest decision. I appreciate the support and for you taking the time to comment…thank you! -Jeff
