Today wasn’t a good day!  I found out yesterday that my grandfather was hospitalized, I worked this week-end so I had very little time to get all my chores done and I hurt my back and shoulders pretty bad(couldn’t lift my arm up past 90 degrees). I took a muscle relaxant but I still didn’t get any sleep because I would wake up every time I moved L

Then today I took progress pics and they were terrible. I’m nowhere close to where I should be I’m not as lean as I was at the same time last year and I was too soft at my show so I’m really really worried.  I know my coach has a plan and I trust him, I trust his new approach for me. It’s my 4^th show with him and he knows how I respond to diet and training. He also said that it was my last chance to add some size before my cut so that is why my diet is not so restrictive. I also know that leaning gets easier each time and I should lean faster since I’ve increase my lean mass during off season.  He did mention that I would be doing cardio this time around which I didn’t do for the other shows.

I guess I’m trying to convince myself that it’s all going to be ok  as I write this but right now I just feel fat lol I know I know that probably makes me shallow but I’m having a blahhhhhh day.

I stuck to the diet and worked out hard. I can feel like crap but I can’t allow myself to let it affect my prep! At the end of the day, it’s another work out down and another day closer and I’m determined to make everyday count no matter what!

Have a good one!
