So I am officially 9 weeks out from my first contest of 2012: The NPC Vermont held in Burlington, Vermont, April 28th. The following week, May 6th, I will compete at the Jay Cutler Classic in Boston, MA. These two shows will be "warm-up" shows for Team Universe following 2 months later.
My training is going well, cardio is not excessive at this point, so I can really focus on pushing myself as hard as I am capable on that day. One of my biggest challenges at this point is continuing to trust the process as it happens, to be confident that I will be ready for the stage 9 weeks from now. This is when having a coach becomes very important and helpful.
I find myself constantly analyzing my physique every day hoping to see changes, hoping to see the scale go down (just like everyone else), waiting for the fat to just disappear....which obviously will not happen over night. Everyone's body responds differently to training and nutrition, mine seems to be very stubborn when it comes to fat loss, but all I can do is keep pushing and work with what I've got until I reach my goal. I will not stop.
Taking it one day at a time...
