Well, I'm back from vacation and feeling stressed because I have so much- yet still to do. My first and main full-time job as a Mom, has me doing overtime, just trying to get back on schedule...Laundry, laundry, laundry, and more laundry...and then, there's the food shopping along with prepping for the week ahead. I'm feeling overwhelmed and anxious, as not only am I getting ready for my show in three weeks, I'm also getting ready for my very first workshop this coming Sunday afternoon. I'm super excited and ultimately want to give these women every reason to want to keep coming and get others to come as well. I want to show them that although we are all faced with struggles, it is possible to live a healthy and fit lifestyle. I'm putting my heart and soul into this workshop.
Speaking of struggles... It can be hard for others to fully understand my mind set during these last few weeks. I've always been a planner and super organized and at the end of the day I give myself anxiety for minimal reasons. It's who I am....I don't think I could take this on if I wasn't this way? In my head, I always have a constant list of to do's to get me to my goals and even just to get me through my day. I get stressed when I worry that I won't get to finish that list. I wish I didn't stress- buy hey, like I've said before, this is like a roller coaster ride! I've also heard- why would you do this if it stresses you out? Good question right? The way I see it, is Life in general is a roller coaster ride, would I get off that ride?NO!!!!Besides, I love every aspect of this, I continue to learn so much about myself and others. I've also recently came across a quote on Pinterest that read "Women are not moody... We simply have days when we are less inclined to put up with your shit" ...That brings a chuckle inside me verytime I read it. I'm sure many of you can relate, heck, I'm sure everyone has had days like that from one time to another. Anyway what drives me the most is to share with women my own struggles and reason's for not giving up- in hope, that they too, won't give up, no matter how freaking crazy that roller coaster ride is! Nothing in life is perfect, it's how we learn ,grow, and improve. I utimately want to create an environment for like minded women to have someone to help them stay on track and find support in a new fit friend. We all need someone like that, I really believe that. You get what you give...
In the next few days I will be working on all the details of my workshop, I will be hitting the gym super hard along with extra sweaty cardio sessions twice a day until I cross that finish line. I've finished crystalizing my suit and will double check the crystals again to make sure they are glued correctly. I will also start using my body scrubs to wash away all that dry winter skin and maybe even do a trial with my tanning products. I have 3 different kinds so I want to see what works best. I have Bronze Angel by Dream Tan, (not my fav) Jan Tana and Pro Tan. I will let you know what works best after my trial. You can find these online. Do your research as some websites sell them for cheaper than others. I've found that www.allstarhealth.com sells them at lowest price. I've also purchased my costume jewelry for the show as well as registered. There's just 3 weeks left and as stressed as I am, I'm confident that I'll get it all done. I have to remain positive and maybe just take a few more breathers each day as it gets closer and closer... I just have to learn how to channel that stress in a more postitive way. Stay focused, stay calm...you'll get there when you get there!
Here's my finished suit...
