It’s been a minutes since my last post. I’ve just been physically and mentally tired and haven’t found the energy at the end of the day to sit down and put my thoughts in writing. So many things go through my mind during the period of my training. Most of the struggle is mental which affects my physical as well. I do look back at day 1 Jan 3rd and even though I’ve trained like this before it still amazes me what the body is capable of if the mind is in control. I’ve got 2 more weeks of his hell and I can get back to living normal. I constantly have to remind myself that when I look back after I’m done this is my favorite part of training. The last 4 weeks of training always come down to a decision each day. Keep going or quit? I find myself saying pretty frequently “I’m sick of this sh..!!!” Then as cliche as it sounds I do think of others who are training just as hard if not harder than me. When I started competing I never did it with the intention of pursuing a career in bodybuilding but I still have a competetive nature. I don’t want to be outworked by anyone so I’ve got to suck it up and keep going. I thrive on the pain of the last few reps of each set or the final minutes on the treadmill or running stairs. The food cravings are stronger than ever and I can’t stop thinking about my first post contest meal! I need to stop doing that though, because it makes time go by so much slower!!! lol. Anyways 2 weeks away and all the work will pay off. I don’t care about winning at this point I just want to know that I’ve done my best!
