This week I have just been feeling totally unmotivated about my routine. I truly think that a lot of my mental block has to do with our upcoming move (happens in only 3 weeks) from Spokane, WA to Little Rock, AR. Just the thought of having to push through 3 more months of dieting & exercise instead of only 1 more month makes me cringe. I mentally start asking myself ..."why I am doing this and is the torture really worth it?" Granted, I am only having to work out 4 days a week (don't get me wrong, I'm exhausted by the 4th day).

However, yesterday I was talking with a fellow figure competitor who assured me that all of the agonizing days were really paying off for me. She told me that my arms, shoulders & back look amazing!!!!! WOW....I can't believe what a huge relief came over me just hearing someone other than my husband tell me that my hard work is truly paying off. It made me realize that I have to believe in myself and not give up so close to the end of my goal. Just because I have had to extend my competition deadline from April 23rd to June 25th doesn't give me an excuse to give in!!!!
