COMPETE 2 WIN!!!!

Hey peeps!! I’ve come to the relization that my internet addiction has now become a distraction and is greatly affecting my mental focus!  I’ve been feeling great physically but the last 2-3 weeks my mind has been playing all types of tricks on me.  I’m no where near as confident as I use to be and my motivation to stay on the diet is decreasing daily.  My trainer feels like I’ve psyched myself out by reading/posting in the forums, the progress pics, the suggestions, etc., etc.,etc.

I personally believe the sport of bodybuilding/figure/fitness or  any sport for that matter, your mental focus has to be in order.  If you are not mentally strong it’s easy to do the things that will prohibit growth and improvement….for  me, it’s cheating on the diet!!  I’ve always said the gym and lifting weights has always been the easy part.  The diet for me is the battle of all battles.  I have a great work schedule and all the free time I have on my hands has allowed me the convenience to burry myself into the world of bodybuilding and figure.  I have now become so pre-occupied w/ comparing myself to other physiques I have now lost all focus and a lot of confidence. (DAMN…DIDN’T I JUST TELL YOU THAT, LOL…) I have recognized along w/ my trainer’s Tuff love, that in order to re-gain some focus I’m going to have to get off myspace, stop visiting all the forums, and stop looking at all of the competitors physiques and comparing them to mine. 

Anywho, I’m rambling now.  I’m about to go into Internet Rehab sort of speak…cold turkey, lol.  Those of you close to me have my email addy and I will continue to check that.  However, I’m going to try to only check my Myspace, BB.com, FigureRX, MD spots once a week!! Whewwwww, can I do it! Yes, I can.  I know I can do anything I put my mind to.  So, with that being said, I’ll check the spot one more time today…then after that, I won’t be back on until Sunday.  So, I won’t reply back within seconds like I use too, but I will get back to ya!!! Thanks for all the support…but it’s time to get back on track!!  

And on last thing….I’ll be at the ARNOLD in 48 hours!! Sooo excited. I’m hoping this experience will give me the motivation and push I need to train hard for the JR. USAs…This Saturday I’ll be 11 weeks out!! I’ll see you all on Sunday..I luv taking pics…so I’ll be posting hundreds of pics of my experience at the arnold!!! Take care!!
