Okay....time to get my thinking straight

Woke up this morning and the first thing on my mind was my weight. This is insanity. I am focusing too much on the contest and the progress pics. I never have huge issues with cheating a little here and there when I am trying to lean out, but I am having problems now because I am too focused on short term results.

All I see in my head at this time is all the things that I did not do right and how I need to correct what has already been done. My mind is too concentrated on calories, macro nutrients, and training while my body screams for attention and I have not listened. I 'listen' to the scale and the numbers on my nutritional calculator which tells me...you can do better. You need to be perfect and on point to get to your goal.

Stinkin thinkin.....I know better than this. Heck....this flower did not have the "perfect" environment. I am sure there were times that I did not give it enough water or the light was not enough. But you know what this Amaryllis did? It adapted to it's less than perfect environment. When the light wasn't sufficient enough, it bend toward the light the best it could and it grew tall enough to touch the top of the grow light. It did not complain and worry. It adjusted and made the best decisions to help it grow.





It "listened" to it's internal source. I need to be like this flower and let my body do it's thing without interference from negative thoughts.

So this is what I am going to do. I am NOT going to log my calories and I won't get on the scale every day. I will just eat clean and train hard and be happy and then I will see the positive results.

Now, I will go and eat 3 scrambled eggs with cheese and some oatmeal. That is what I need right now.
