October is really not THAT far away....

Hello!

So for the last few days my inner warrior motivation has kind of been a little stale.  I keep seeing people eating and enjoying themselves without any worries about sticking to a meal plan, packing their meals everywhere they go, and drinking a gallon of water.  And for a couple of days I've been envious of them and wanting to be them.  Then I realized it was sad that indulgence in sweets/treats was putting doubts in my life.  I could give in but then I would be wishing that I had stuck with it, I would always be wishing for the body I could have had.  SO I started to think about how to motivate myself.  I love small goals and I enjoy having things to look forward to (vacation, holiday/anniversary, friends visiting...) and then I started thinking "how many weeks is it until my show anyways...." and then I counted....29 weeks!!!!  For some reason in my head I thought it was closer to 34ish but NOPE!!!  Then I kept thinking about the countdown and I was curious what are the rest of the dates?

• 24 weeks- April 20th ~ My friend is coming to visit around this time and we are going to hit the pool and go to a Rihanna concert!!!
• 18 weeks- June 1st ~ This is our anniversary month so I really want to plan something fun to do!!
• 12 weeks- July 13th ~ My husbands birthday is the 14th and we can plan a night out!!
• 8 weeks- Aug 10th ~ Nothing planned yet but there is still lots of time! :)
• 6 weeks- Aug 24th ~ Nothing planned yet but I think the excitement of it almost being "show time" will be enough for me!!!

I've started to plan other things for the show too.  I'm in the middle of designing my suit (picking design, colors, connectors), I've got an awesome girl doing my hair for the show!!  She did my hair for my wedding so I definitely trust her to do an amazing job and transform my gym hair into something beautiful!  It makes me feel motivated to have things to look forward to and keeps the timeline from feeling like it will be forever!  I hope that if you are feeling unmotivated you are able to find some way to break the cycle and keep going!!!  Those blah days happen to all of us but heres to breaking through them!!!  

Cheers,

Ash
