UP AND DOWN

That is how everything has been for me over the last few weeks. Though my morning workouts are always good-simply because I actually love to workout, my energy levels have been in bursts at best and my desire to compete next year has gone through a few days of being nowhere to be found! I’ll have a few good totally up days of being in the mood for everything-then all of a sudden energy is out the door, body aches and the thought of contest prep is ever-so-daunting and uninviting. Then I’ll either have a totally awesome workout, or read a really good fitness article about competing or see a fab looking fit chick and say to myself-“oh yeah-I do want to do that again and try to look like that!”

But, such is life, hey! Up and down-can’t always be walking on air now can we?

On the brighter side, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous, so we’ve been getting out in the yard a bit; the boat trade for the rental house is just about finalized, the studio is just weeks away from being complete and this weekend marks 3months of not drinking. And, I have to say, I’m pretty pleased with what I see in the mirror these days; the bod is tightening up quite a bit.

So, I guess-let’s just get finished with 2009 already! Bring on 2010 and BRING ON THE COMPS!

I don't think anyone can say they are walking on air 100% of the time Raechelle. If they were, they'd either be a freak or on drugs...lol...

You're doing fantastic and I think the main thing is, is to take advantage of those times when you've got that fire in the belly and just keep stoking the fire.

I'm also finding that this time of the year, for this year, I'm feeling different, and not so pensive...more relaxed I suppose. When you've got a few things to deal with, and just being the lead-up to Christmas, the focus is much different.

I'm sure once 2010 comes around, we'll all be fired up and raring to go! :)

P.S. Congrats on your 3month stone-wall too!

I see it as, without the downs there would be no ups, so cherish each moment for what it is and know that it will pass and things will be bright!

Me peronsonally, I find that inspiration/motivation comes and goes but it doesn't mean we don't shower and go to work does it. It's kind of like our training and dieting, good days/bad days it doesn't really matter. Just as long as we do what we plan to do on any given day it's still a step in the right direction towards our goals.

Hang in there Raechelle. I'm right here beside you all the way holding you hand. xxx
