The Journey

Greetings!

Happy Thanksgiving too! What a journey the past few months have been prepping for this show. The ups and downs of everyday thinking "will I be ripped enough?" "am I big enough" "how am I going to make it through another 2.5 hours of cardio today". These are the nagging questions I have all the time. So far, I get through it all. Only 1 day have I not done my cardio, and that was this last Saturday. I worked in the morning and then I was invited to a card making class that one of my clients was putting on. We made 5 different Christmas cards and 4 of each card. It was so much fun. Like scrapbooking but not having to come up with the ideas yourself. You just follow the template and make the cards. I loved it. I then came home and cooked my food for the week/sat on the couch. Actually I even went to bed early like at 730pm because I was pooped.

Speaking of this Thanksgiving weekend, it's been a good one. Sunday I worked out lots and then Mike and I figured out my routine for the my show. I am getting really excited now. It's less than 5 weeks away now. SO IF YOU WANT TO COME, GET YOUR TICKETS! I then did a bit of baking (guilty I ate some too) but it was chill. I made a ton of food for the week and I made 2 magazine Christmas trees for Christmas. I also pretty much finished my Christmas shopping online and decided that I am going to make a whole bunch of Christmas treats for my friends and clients. Homemade gifts! I am going to start on those soon too as I have the brainless time right now.

I have been learning lots about self control, discipline and motivation through this process. I also have come to realize that I love my job. I love helping people see results and making good money at something that comes so easily. I need to be more social, but I don't hang out with people for fear that I am going to say something bad or lash out at them. It's happened before in the past couple weeks. I have been HULKISH since Thursday and so I am staying clear of all civilization - or the best that I can.

The best way to do 2.5 hours of cardio a day is to split it up into 1 hr and 20 min sections. Reading a magazine makes the time go by the fastest. Doing spin class or talking to Kristie, who comes with me, also makes the time go by fast. Just watching tv kinda sucks. The food network is okay though, but football is the best. I love Sundays for workouts because there is so much to watch and it's entertaining!!!!

Well that's all for now, gotta go eat something and then go do some cardio! Have a great thanksgiving!
