The road to Nationals
Thursday, October 8th, 2009Hi friends!
I’m getting ready for nationals in ft. lauderdale on Nov 20-21st! I’m super super excited about it! I’ve been training hard and getting my butt kicked on a daily basis in the gym with my trainer Travis White. He’s keeping me focused and pushing me through my workouts.
For those who have competed…and some more so than others know how difficult it is to train, and just get through your workouts when your low carb and doing tons of cardio. Even when i’m tired and I’m walking into the gym, I think about how much my body is changing…I try to envision what it WILL look like darn it…lol… and then I just think to myself my priorities and what I’ve given up to be as blessed as I am. 
Training is going really well though….I have my days. Some times I’m feeling like a million bucks, and sometimes (when I skip my pre-workout meal) I feel like I’m drained and am just trying get through it. But I am certainly committed. I definitely gained quite a bit of weight after my last two competitions, some of it intentional when I was bulking…and some of it not ( I refer to it as feeding my soul lol) But I’m really glad I’ve gone through the ups and downs, and it makes little things like discovering a new little vein showing ( I get excited about that people haha) bc your vasuclarity is improving and your FINALLY starting to lean down!
I’m taking this day by day….sticking to my diet….training as hard as possible and STAYING POSITIVE! It’s really difficult for my to resist the urge to cheat…and I have this INSANE sweet tooth but when I find myself in the position where i’m craving sugar hard….I just take a few deep breaths and tell myself "Abs are made in the kitchen" and the feeling passes. haha…that kind of sounds silly as i look back and read that…but it’s true! I’m such a dork…. clumsy and dorky lol.
Anyway, I’m going to close for now! I hope all of you are doing well and staying Moto!
<3,
Jess
