Getting derailed again? Oh No!!!

This past weekend I had lost my focus to my goals.
Dealing with social gatherings and trying to meet your fitness goals, can be very difficult. And let's not forget resisting all the temptation!
People look at me and say :"Oh, you are fine, just have a bite and workout extra hard next week".
I've been getting a lot of that lately. And mostly from close friends and family members. If I turn down their offer,I get a dirty look or hear that I am getting this fitness thing over my head.
Just the other day, a friend told me that I am pushing myself too hard.
I actually thanked this person for the concern and actually took a day off after hearing that.
Lately I've been having a hard time balancing my life. A 10 hour shift at work, school, home responsibilities such as paying the bills on time. Having quality time with friends and family, cooking my meals, etc.
Imagine if I had a child? I think I'd go nuts.
It's incredible how there are so many amazing women who does this with a family. These womem inspire me actually! So why the heck am I complaining right?
A good friend told me that it is anxiety taking and getting the better of me. "My old self talking".
So I am telling the old self to "shut the h*** up", and that quitting right now is not an option. Sure I had a bad weekend, but am I going to let it derail the progress I've gotten so far? I don't think so!

Nobody said this was going to be easy! I got this !

Am I ready for this?

After going to the Cathy Savage Fitness camp, I decided to commit myself and join the team!
So now I am about 5 1/2 weeks away from a Fitness Show.
The preparation is getting harder and harder. And now I am thinking :" Where did I get myself into?"
Basically the reason I am doing this is to challenge myself, to see what I am really capable of. For years and years, I've worked out, I've dieted and never reached my "beach body". The ones you see on fitness magazines.
Deep inside of me, there's always been a voice telling me that I can do it. That this "beach body" CAN be real, if I want to.
So I got 5 1/2 weeks left. The diet is getting more strict, no more cheat meals :(
I am scared and nervous and a little hungry. Will I survive? Will I give up for a plate of french fries and a juicy burguer?
No, not this time. This time I have to prove myself that I am strong and I got this!
I also got amazing friends and amazing Savage sisters to support me!

Back from Camp Savage

So I made it to the camp! And it was OFF THE HOOK!
I am so glad I went! I met so many amazing women and learned great things about nutrition, fitness, and fitness competition.
My goal was only to go there and learn what to do to look like an oxygen magazine cover model. And guess what these models do? They EAT CLEAN AND WORKOUT. It is that simple! Your nutrition counts 80%. If you workout hard and stuff your face with burguers and french fries, you're wasting your time...
So not only learned about competiting in fitness, I will compete myself! YES! April 17th, it is on :)
I am excited and scared at the same time. IT's going to be a huge challenge. Food wise that is. I love working out, I could do it for hours! But I also enjoy my cheat meals very much :).
We will see how it goes!
February will be the month for lots of changes for me. IT is the month that will tell wether I can compete or not...so stay tuned!
