Can I do it??
Can I do it…pfff of course you can do it! Never for one second ever second guess yourself or doubt that you can do anything. If you put your mind, heart and soul into something you CAN do anything! Once negative thoughts and doubts come to play, they tend to overpower your goals.
Last night while promoting suppliments for my sponsor I sat there and thought to myself..can I do this?? (meaning, will I be ready for the comp) This Saturday 7/26/08, I will be 12 weeks out till my competition. Reality really sunk in last night as I had time to think about it. "12 weeks, 12 freaking weeks is all I have to get my ass in gear and really lean up!" I almost started to doubt myself for a minute. I honestly had to step back and have a one on one with myself. I have come this far..training days and hours on end at the gym, giving up all the crappy food that I love, stopping the partying and social scene..all for what?? ALL for me…and only ME! This is what makes me happy, this is my drug. HELL yes I can do it! I might have to turn the gears up a few notches and really mentally be ready to diet, and I mean diet hard for 12 weeks. Don’t get me wrong I eat really really well now..but now is crunch time. There is no small bite of something sweet and delicious, or a cheat meal here and there..this is it, time to get serious! Think about it..what is a small 12 weeks of your life to sacrifice stupid indulgences?? 12 weeks is nothing…I CAN and I WILL do this!
Wish me luck 
Not to mention here is my horoscope for today, how ironic
"Today is all about you and your goals. And yes, you do have some! Keep moving forward and don’t worry about the competition, if there is any. Things get better and better — they always do for you. "

Hey Kat! I totally know you can do this. I can see your motivation and all of your hard work! You have made phenominal progress already, and you are a strong person. You have an amazing attitude also. Very optimistic, and that is awesome! I could learn a lot from you
Anyway..good luck!! and you’ve got this!

Damn right you can do it! You’ve got the attitude, and that’s 90% of it. The other half is physical.

Of course you can do it!
People outside the training environment often refer to the choices athletes have to make as "things they have to give up" like partying, drinking and stuff like that. Well, that’s the wrong way to look at it IMO. You DON’T chose NOT to drink - you chose to eat and drink the stuff that makes you a champ! More so than any in other sport, whatever food or beverages you consume will have a direct impact on how good you’ll become at what you do.
Give ‘em your all and good luck!

I don’t think you need any luck, it looks like you have the drive to do what you want to do. I will say it though "Good Luck." I wish you the best with your goal. Cant wait to see what you can do with yourself in 12 weeks!
