Have 2 stay focused
Man, it’s now the 3week mark for my second comp this yr and things are getting very tough! After the show on 15 Jun 08 some key members on my team dropped out of the running for the July show. True enough, the diet takes a HUGE toll on you–especially since most of us are still new to the whole diet and training game. I am somewhat struggling because I can tell the fam is a little tired of my training/diet :/ I won’t go too far into detail but lets just say my wife’s fire for my contest prep is no longer burning…
3 more weeks…that’s it. I want this show! I feel I am carrying a package that will definitely boost my placing from last yr–gotta see if I can keep going.

Competition requires focus and sacrifice, as you already know. It is not easy on you or the fam. I remember those days when my ex competed. The diet, the mental, the tanning, staining……we really celebrated after the competition. I asked him not to compete in anymore than 1contest a year.

Thank you for the kind words
Amrn - you’re right, I think for us "regular" folk with families should stick with 1 comp a yr. I’m taking next yr off to give my body a break and try to bring up the areas I lack.
