It's twelve
weeks to Fitness Atlantic at Mohegan Sun...
I go on Facebook and see people who entered last year and the year before.
Maybe that's YOU?
I wait...
Will you post a Food Prep photo?
Or a Sunday Meal Prep for the week with all those tupperware containers?
I remember last year at this time.
When I sent a
message to someone and asked, "Are you competing?"
Then I wait for a response and get, "Thinking about it."
Seems to come up so fast...
I thought about it today and started to get butterflies in my stomach.
Ordered the trophies, getting the staff ready, does the DJ have the music and show script?
We have to be ready - how about you?
Do you HAVE to be ready?
I can't back out - I already paid Mohegan Sun a
deposit.
That's why my advice is that people should do the Entry Fee first thing.
Then other things just GET DONE.
When you make backing out NOT an option.
I always see people drop off or just wait too long to
prepare.
"I'll do the next one.", they say...
Guess what happens when people wait on the Entry Fee...
They announce they are in prep by telling people on Facebook, they see if they get likes, they tag a trainer and some people, then they start slacking off, or they have planned cheat meals they call
"re-feeds" one too many, they look in the mirror and feel bloated and have second thoughts.
Oh, screw it if I'm not going to win I'll wait - I'll do the next one.
Don't let the mind games get you!
The last time I did a show I was show ready four weeks out and someone
messed with my head.
Told me I was "too ready" and wasn't going to be able to drop the water. Told me I should sodium load and deplete. So I tried it - used 5 grams of salt (a full salt shaker) on my food all day and drank pickle juice and soy sauce. I drank up to 8 gallons of water on the final day and then I stopped drinking water and started loading potassium loading. What a counter-productive mess I
was listening to someone who didn't really know better.
I have no idea how but I luckily placed fifth in that show and it was a big show too. One of the judges was the MC at a show I posed at four weeks earlier and he came up to me and said - "What the hell happened to you? You looked so much better a month ago."
It could happen to all of us.
People mess with your head.
You don't want to miss this show. It's going to be better than last year!
The third year at one of the best venues in the world.
Send in your ENTRY and let's do this.
Commit and make things happen!
What class are you doing?
Diva Bikini, Diva Fitness Model, Male Fitness Model,
Figure, Muscle Model or Transformation
Transformation is really cool. I think that one is way less stressful and fun.
Stay Excited, Stay Focused,
See You
Soon,
Brian
