Long time no Blog!
I haven't been blogging much lately due to being busy. I did attempt to blog last Friday but couldn't because the blogger was down for maintainance.
So here I am :-). I got the flu yesterday and feel totally yucky. I have a blocked nose one minute and a running one the next. I am hot and cold and grrrrrrr.
I still managed to go to the gym this morning, I figured if I could get out of bed, I could go to the gym. No point in making myself feel worse by not going.
My training is up to scratch as always. This is something I don't need to worry about. But....I have let my nutrition slip :-( last week was a bad week for me. So this is how I look at it:
I stuffed up big time last week due to drinking, then went downhill even further with eating the wrong foods.
I think it was a good thing to go through at this point in time because I now I will remember this horrible, guilt ridden feeling that consumes me day and night, and this bloating I have around my mid section doesn't help. I will remember this feeling and it will help me through the next 17 weeks towards my comp.
I have a new level of motivation and confidence that I know will help me to achieve my goals. So I look at this set back as a positive. If I do this again between now and Oct 7th, I will need to walk away from this comp.
My biggest problem has been feeling like I haven't had to diet, so I can so easliy talk myself into drinking another glass of wine or having extra to eat.
I am 17 weeks out and feel that I dont have this comfort anymore. This in itself should make me click into athletic mode. I know I have it in me. But time will tell.
That's great news Deb! You instantly can learn a really positive lesson from your recent situation and know exactly what you've got to do. That alone can take some people years to figure out, you're one switched on chicky babe. :o)
I have no doubt in my mind that YOU WILL succeed in this goal of yours. I'm right here next to you holding your hand every step of the way. We CAN and WILL do this! ;o)

Thanks Lia, knowing that you are their for me is very comforting to know :-).
I am still fearfull of it all, but perhaps when I start to look like a competitor, I will loose that fear.
Im also afraid of how im going to come up with an individual posing routine.
One step at a time I guess.

Dear Deb,
I know you are going to be just fine. Remember that I will be standing next to you and getting up on stage and competing is all about bettering yourself, not whether you get a place or not. I look at the eating as getting you to that place as a shining example of how you live to be healthy, rather than dieting as such. 17 weeks in your shape is a long time!
Cheers,
Liz ;)

Thanks Liz :-)
I am just hoping to do what you said, get on stage in the best condition ever. As for placing, that really hasn't entered into it. If I place it will just be the cherry on top!!

YOU WILL DO IT DEB! I know exactly where you are at, I felt exactly the same way and let me assure you, it happens to the best of them too, everyone slips up every now and then, you will do it, you know you can, we know that you will and I can't wait to share it with you!
Your focus will zoom in as time gets closer, just keep your goals in sight!

Glad your back Deb!!! Hope your flu gets better soon!!! I think you need to give yourself some credit - you are going to step up on stage to compete - think about that - that in itself is a great achievement! There are very few who are discplined enough to do the training and dieting to be able to stand up on stand, and then there is the courage, the courage to go up on stage and show the world all your efforts. I take my hat off to you Deb because it takes a very strong person to do that.
You are a VERY strong person Deb and I have sincere faith that you will be marvellous.
Your a true inspiration Deb!!! We all know you are more than capable of overcoming doubts and fears in the next 17 weeks!!!
Take care!

Amen to everything Josh just said... he and my Coach are very similar... some people make comp prep WAY harder than it has to be. One of the WA team members had their watch set and were eating on the alarm... WHAT THE??? As my coach says... it is not rocket science :) xxx
