Only the strong survive

It seems like forever since I blogged and its amazing how the times flies by. I wanted to be able to express to everyone how I have felt every step of the way and I guess the last few months have been very busy and very difficult as well. 

I am still strong on the road to the stage but August had a few minor setbacks - one being a music festival in Lucknow and the other was an annual camping trip with my entire family and friends. So what that means is the diet suffers a bit. Had some drinks and some bad - but good food. 

Here is what I didn't expect - the guilt - the guilt that comes with that is terrible. I felt like I had to do more cardio and extra long days to repair what I thought was damage I was doing. It is such a mental game. 

My coach describes this journey to the stage perfectly - he says - It's a marathon, not a sprint - and I am a sprinter let me tell you and it is hard to just know that this takes a long time and tons of sacrifice to get there. So for the last few months there hasn't been alot to say except the same meal plan and still following the program at the gym, I think I was getting lost in all of it a bit and not feeling the direction that I wanted to feel.

That brings me to today and I am on a new 12 week sub-preshow prep and this changed my diet and programming so it has brought me back to life. I have completed the first week and I won't lie - it was hell - sore everywhere and wanting to give up a few times but this is when I realized that maybe I have used up all my weak and all that is left is STRONG!
