Nothing worth having comes for free. You want something real? something worth having? You gotta work. You have to earn it. - “If it were easy everyone would be doing it”
I have finally reached the mark of three weeks out and this is a phrase that keeps me going. That feeling of giving in and giving up mocks me all day long. Carb deprivation is starting to kick in, my body is starting to weaken and it is hard to think positive sometimes. What was so easy suddenly became such a challenge it is crazy how much your energy levels effect how you function in day to day activities. Something I used to love (working out) has now become something that I can't bear the thought of. Getting the energy to go to the gym seems like trying to perform a miracle to me right now but it is something I continue and will continue to do because there are only 3 weeks left - when I step on stage every second of this time will be worth it.
What I have learned this week:
Family and friends make life great. Without close connections your life is far less fulfilling.
Always have dreams to keep you occupied- let your mind wander to things you wish to achieve and don't be afraid to daydream about future goals :)
Praise success- set mini goals for yourself that you can feel good about accomplishing always be your most positive self.
Plan- What do you want to accomplish this week? You are far more likely to follow through when you have written out when you will do it.
Try new things- whether it is a new recipe, or a new exercise in the gym don't be scared to stray from your routine and be adventurous!
Last of all- enjoy life. There are moments in any diet or part of life where you feel like giving up but you need to remind yourself why you are doing what you are doing and who you are doing it for. If the answer is you and your goals then all of the pain will pay off. It is best to enjoy the small things and small moments so that when the big ones come you will appreciate them most :)
