Happy Tuesday! Another weekend has gone by.....i took a day off yesterday from work and working out....so now my schedule is a little altered...so today was legs. And let me just tell you...i had to do a giant set of 4 different exercises for the first half of my workout and damn, if my heart rate wasn't up there! WOW! I loved it!!! Tonight i have 40 min of bike :)
Im going to my sister's tonight after work but i want to try and get out of there early so i can hit the cardio and get my stuff ready for tomorrow.
All you coffee drinkers out there...do you still use creamer if you are prepping for a show? I have tried time and time again to drink it black...i just cant do it! Im using fat free creamer...and just about a teaspoon but is it going to hurt me?
Cant wait to work my shoulders tomorrow!!!! I have been really trying to work my shoulders hard and im trying to do them 2xs a week....usually tuesdays and saturday. Saturday's workout isn't that heavy but i want to try and do more :)
I have come to the conclusion that i am my own worst enemy....i have so many doubts and questions in my head all the time. I need to clear my head and just focus on what i want to accomplish and that is it...no clouds...no doubts.....just focus on what needs to be done, and stop doubting myself...i have been doing it for so long...the only one stopping me is me!
I have to be confident in myself and my abilities....what am i so afraid of??? I know i can do this! I need to believe in me!
It is only as hard as i make it out to be.
things can be looked at in two ways....negatively or positively, or as the saying goes, is the cup half full or half empty. I have always looked at things as negative. I think that with a happy, positive outlook, nothing can stop me! I need to realize that getting my ass out of bed at 5:00 to hop on the treadmill is only going to help me...not hurt me...yes it may suck, but there are plenty of girls getting up right along with me..doing the same thing....with November 13th circled on their calendars too!
I will do this....and i will be better than i have been....i love this sport...and i know that in time, i will find my groove and feel confident and secure and happy with how i look. Yes, i may be old (LOL) and crazy...but, as my husband says....fuck everyone else's opinion and do what makes you happy! And you know what? He is right! He supports me 100% and pushes me to do better! And that is what matters....doing what makes you happy, right?

You're not crazy, you're doing something you believe in, but how much you are willing to believe is a different thing.
You need to keep remembering the reasons for doing it and the fact you CAN do it. You HAVE done it before and you ARE capable.
Until you completely get to grips with the mental and emotional commitment involved with competing, you're going to be a potential also ran, or a nearly person, that tried too many times to get ready and compete for either weak finishes or poor preparation leading to pulling out of events.
You're better than that, but you need to feel it, because the support helps, but up to a point.
GOOD LUCK, because you ARE worth it.

Right!! :-) We can do this!!
So true! It IS all about the frame of mind. Yeah, getting up early for your daily morning date with Mr. Treadmill isn't much fun ... but just think about how much better you feel when you do it.
We're all going through the same things ... at about the same times of day, so always remember that you're not alone. Every one of us doubts ourselves at some point and wonders why we're putting our bodies through this. And everyone's answer is slightly different. My answer is because it's worth it to me!
I love watching my body change and knowing that I alone am responsible for those changes. What an empowering thought! You, too, have the power to change your body and shape it into your own work of art. Take that power and think about it when you're doubting yourself or trying to drag yourself out of bed at the crack of dawn. And then think about the rest of us doing the exact same thing you are at the exact same time. You're not alone and we're all here to support you as YOU work to complete your goals. Keep up the great work, girl! You can do it! :)
Angela, you'll love my post today about my choice to NOT get on the treadmill this morning. It is the first time during my prep that I didn't do it and I'm paying for it now - low energy, not such a positive attitude. So, yes, you can do it and eventually it will become habit!!
You're doing great and I can already see so much change in you than a few months ago!! Keep at it and you'll do great. I'll be next to you on the stepmill tomorrow morning...even if only in spirit...but you know what I mean! You CAN do this!!! You know you can! Go for it and make it happen!!! You know you'll be glad you did!
I have the same problems. Check out my blog to see how I deal with them. I am on my final diet ever.
