Other Competitors
Despite the heading, I am actually having a really good week. I trained again today (will take tomorrow off to get my hair done), my session was "smashing", I just keep improving and getting stronger each week.
Anyway I was talking to someone that works at the gym, she is two weeks away from her comp (not sure which federation, sorry), she is a figure competitor. She knows that I want to compete one day.
She just looks soooo drained, actually that would be an understatement. She is taking next week off so she can sleep. Her body looks awesome as she has cut up nicely, she is not new to this and I think she is in the "masters" division.
Looking at her in this state makes me wonder if I can do this myself. I have a family and a business to run, will I have any energy left?
I hold on to the hope that JD might have another approach to the last weeks before comp and that I won't be THAT drained.
Lia asked me the other day what exactly my fears were, because they are obviously whats holding me back right now. Having a few days to really think this through I know exactly what they are.
Being to tired to function, I simply cant have this, my husband would not be to happy either because I am the main focus of the business due to his own business affairs etc.
Also having time and energy for my little guy is the most important thing to me.
So, if I knew I could get through that part of the diet, I might be able to commit to competing this October in the INBA.
I still have so much to learn about the whole process, that is one of the reasons I feel prevliged to be able to read Rae and Lia's blogs. I just want to know more about it.
Up until Monday (this week) I have had a surge of energy and have been feeling great. I have all of a sudden noticed so many changes to my physique. I am seeing more and more muscle tone and I have definately lost weight around my waist. I feel amazing, perhaps my body has finally adjusted to the new diet and program and is working with me now. All bloating is gone.
I know things can change again but I am going with the flow right now.
Thank you for everyones support in the last week or so since I started blogging. I can't believe the wonderful people I have meet. You know who you are because I stalk your blogs everyday lol.
In fact im on my way now ;-)
I'm so glad you are finally seeing some changes :) What a buzz!!!
I hope that I can see some soon too, but I guess with the week I have had, it won't be for another couple....oh well, I shall be patient - I know it will happen for me soon :)
Thabks for the comment you left on my blog!

Have you spoken with JD to see if it is feasible for you to do a mini challenge to see how you would go with the dieting down? I did a 12-week challenge before I decided to compete to see how I would go. You would need to discuss this with JD though as he may have plans for you to grow muscle and a mini challenge might interfere with it. Just a suggestion though!!

I did feel the same way until I did my 12 week challenge and found that I had more energy then, then I currently have now not on the full diet etc. Like Rae said maybe you might need to see if you can do a mini challenge to see how you cope.
