I am BUSY! Reality is, everyone is busy and we all seem to move at a cheetah's pace, but as I start ramping up for my next show, I find myself with little time for anything but work, food and the gym. I have picked up lead on additional HUGE projects at work and find myself emailing and researching at night and on the weekends, just to stay caught up. Food prep has turned back into a daily Sunday event, and workouts... Well, luckily I'm still only at 45 minutes of cardio a day, but my lifts and abs have turned into about an hour and a half routine. Now I truly do realize most competitors find themselves feeling beyond busy and frantically search for more hours in the day, but the reality is... I'm 16 weeks out from my next show (if I look ready for it), and I am going to have to dig deep to get this one ripped out.
Finally, I made the switch in my head last weekend that it's time to get back in the game and just do it regardless of what I 'feel' like doing. Because sitting on my couch is not going to get me to my goal and will not help me look any less fat on stage. So, back to it I go, and even though I don't feel like it, I'll put a smile on my face and make do with my schedule. But seriously, I'm taking a real, long vacation after this round.
Oh, and just to help me feel like I'm a little spoiled, I am buying myself new shoes. The goal - I'll look forward to being able to rock these puppies at the gym every day! :)
