Ms. Blueyes' Life

 As I sit here on September 21st - I wanted to apologize for not keeping a better record of what's been going on and being able to document my journey to be a Wellness BodyBuilding competitor.  I can see that this is going to be a long, hard road, but going to be OH SO WORTH IT! As you know, I have really struggled mentally this past summer. I don't know really WHY it has taken so long to get out of this "funk", but I have to get it together in order for me to push through and compete when I want to. My Coach says about 3 years...of course I'm too impatient to wait that long and want to do it in 2 years. WELLLLLLL, in order for me to do that, I need to get my head in the game and stop playin' around! I need to get serious about my diet - the workouts - and just mentally getting stronger.

 WOW!!! September already!!! TIME is FLYING by! How are we doing out there? I know that the last couple of my posts have been about this mental block or wall that I hit and REALLY struggled with.  I have a tendency to be so impatient! I feel like a turtle in my progress, as I want to be fit and cut (ready for stage) RIGHT NOW !!! However, I also know that I didn't get this size overnight either. I have to trust the process. I have to trust my Coach. I need to remember to ENJOY the journey - even when it's hard.  So as it starts a new month, I have a NEW MINDSET . Be thankful - there is ALWAYS something that I can be thankful for.  I'm thankful for movement today and the ability to get up and yes...even meal prep! :). What are YOU thankful for? What is YOUR mindset for this month? Share in the comments below - I would LOVE to hear from you!
