Well life has finally setled down since i finsihed my comp nearly 4 weeks ago. It's hard to believe that it has taken me this long to get my sh*t together!
Since making the decision not to compete, a load has lifted and everyday i wake up feeling relieved at not having to watch every morsel that enters my mouth or do excessive amounts of cardio. I grieved for a few days after having made the decsion though - wondering if i had infact made the right decision not to compete again so soon. It was 100% the right decision and im very pleased i made it. I do want to do another comp in 2011 - i loved the process - but my body and mind needs a break. Im now concentrating on what a lot of figure girls do after their fist comp, build much needed muscle and maintain a healthy weight. I finally got my head around balanced eating again, and its paid off. Ive lost a lot of fluid and am now happily sitting at 56.5kgs. My goal is to get a couple more kgs off and maintain 54kgs, which for my height and frame suits me.
Im happy to report that i can now walk past a bakery - and not go in. Ahhhh triumph. I do not people, have the type of body where i can eat what i want when i want. I get fat that way. It is not helped by the fact i suffer from PCOS which hormonally is a nightmare for women and weight gain. But im happy with the eating plan i have structured, which incorporates 2 cheat meals a week. Im also happy to report that i am...wait for it...enjoying exercise again YAAAA! Ive even got back into some running this week, and boy does it feel great. Im also lifting heavy heavy. So my weights program is the same for if i was competing - its torture, and i love it!
I also have a very exciting business venture in the pipeline which i will reveal next week. Its great to have a focus on something other than comp prep!
So on that note im off, but keep training hard, eat clean and enjoy life
xxoo
I'm glad you're in more positive frame of mind babe. Sorry to hear about your PCOS, i have a few friends with it so i'm aware what you go through hormonally...btw just curious, how tall are you?...Looking forward to hearing the exciting new too!=)
ReplyDeleteHi hon! Yes much more positive frame of mind - u know how difficult that can be straight after a comp :(
