Had a long talk with my trainer yesterday.. I have been feeling demotivated for a while now - just like the pressure is too much and I am so tired and my diet is so restricted, etc. :whiner: Anyhow...

He said these things - that really made me feel better and today I feel re-energized and re-motivated:

1) Don't sell myself short - I have made huge progress in the past 6 months - more than most people would have and need to recognize all my hard work and dedication instead of feeling like I am not doing enough or not changing enough.

2) No one will be any less proud of me if I don't compete in November - there is going to be a new show in April sometime and if i don't make November I can shoot for that. the most important thing right now is to bring my bodyfat down and stay sane at the same time :)

We are going to figure out a new routine and diet when he gets back from his competition (he leaves Tuesday and is gone through Sunday, to compete in the nationals in Pittsburgh).

I am really glad we had this talk - I had been kind of avoiding him because I felt like I was letting him down or something...he said all the right things and I am , once again, really glad he is my trainer!

I don't doubt now that I will be able to kick a** and lose my bodyfat, and maybe even be show ready by November 10th, but the insane amount of pressure I placed on myself has been relieved and I I feel so much better!

I know - I am a head case!:help: But there you are!

Next week, while he is out of town I will probably do some cardio and maybe some circuit training, but mostly just rest and recovery:)
