figure competition prep. my daily journal

He really fell asleep like that! I sure do LOVE that little boy!

I actually used to be quite heavy for my height (5’4″). Here are a couple of old posts I like to reference when I’m feeling like I need a little motivation.

On Friday Ben and I went grocery shopping. I like to buy these little snack packs of nuts. I went over to the area where the store keeps the kind I like and I spotted a bag of dark chocolate covered blueberries. I picked them up and read their nutrition facts. I already knew they weren’t going to fit into my macros.  But, I sat there and stared at them trying to justify buying and eating them.  I stared at them for about two minutes!

Ben always wonders why it takes me so long at the grocery store.  It’s because I’m doing shit like this! Staring at labels on foods that I’m hopefully not going to eat!

I told myself I could get some in September. And if they don’t manufacture them anymore by then they probably weren’t very good.

Mental games.
