It's beginning to become real to me...As I move closer and closer to my competition date, I keep going over my goals and the reasons why I'm really putting my body and mind through all of this. I know as the weeks continue to decline, it'll only become a lot more challenging!
My main goal is to have FUN!!
The main reason, I guess you can say, is to challenge myself mentally. Mental discipline is something we all must possess in order to succeed in all aspects of our lives!!
Prepping takes a lot out of you physically, yes... but I believe more mentally!!
You must have a deep motivation and mental discipline to get up and go to the gym 2x a day, eat 5-6 small meals a day, control your sugar cravings, prepare and cook all your food.
It can be very draining and time consuming. Most people couldn't begin to understand!!
So far.. The biggest change that was made to my diet was my protein ounce has dropped from 6oz to 5oz. Also, My complex carbs~Brown rice & Sweet potatoes are now in the first 3 meals of my 5 total meals..
My typical 3 day diet... Note: Im carb cycling~ Which means I have a No carb day, Med carb day & High carb day!!!!
