Hi,
I was thinking having the title of this email be 12 Weeks Out!
I read something I wanted to share.
Thinking
about 12 weeks "out" could be stressful and the advice
was to not think as much about the Goal as starting each week.
After reading an article on Achieving
Goals
the author said the STOP focusing on the actual Goal.
He said the focus on the actual "PROCESS".
Twelve weeks out is usually when people start being strict on a meal plan and getting weekly check-ins with a trainer or coach.
For the most part there is really no need to start way out - typically most people could get ready for a show in 12 weeks.
So if
you started any earlier you are already ahead of the game!
January is 15 weeks to the show.
And that is a good thing.
First thing would normally be to enter the
show.
If
you don't enter it leaves to many undecided questions and you likely question yourself with questions like: "Will I be ready?" which leads doubting yourself.
Honestly almost everyone feels like they are not ready right up to the show and during.
Feeling you will win and feeling super confident usually isn't
going though many if any people's heads. Plus you never know who will show up. That's the stuff that makes people mentally flip out - so try not to worry about anyone else and focus on yourself.
You know what you could accomplish in twelve weeks? It's pretty crazy. A LOT!
Whatever you are doing to prepare should be progressive.
Each week you get better.
It only takes small weekly changes.
So
number one is enter and get all doubts out of your head.
I'm IN and DON'T let people talk you out of it because they will try.
You know why people want to talk you out of entering?
Because getting in shape is hard for other people and you know why that is...
Because they refuse to follow any plan. They tell you it's "too restrictive" and even "unhealthy" plus all the other things they say so YOU FAIL and them being out
of shape and lazy is now justified for them.
How does that help you?
Stay the course and don't get talked out if it.
Make a hotel reservation should be easy.
Mohegan Sun is not a cheap hotel - we have an incredible hotel discount lasts only until 30 days out then it is gone. If you wait too long all the room block specials will be gone then you have to
scramble.
Stay the Course,
Brian Cannone
