Transforming Jeanice Cabale - 7 Weeks Out

Finally pre-contest! The challenges and obstacles are all worth it. The 2 hours plus training, waking up early for morning cardio, packing meals, avoiding social gatherings, work then going back to the gym to train more eating, sleep and up early just to do it again.

Yes I am tired, but I fight through it. Day in and day out it gets challenging but I take what I have in me and stay positive. I can see the changes happening, the way clothes fit, my face getting smaller, it's all a process that's somewhat new to me...I do like the changes I am seeing.

BUT...doubts start to kick in, will I be ready come contest time? Is this all worth it? You become a social outcast, testy and even more irritable. My advice to myself? Try not to lose sight of what's important.

Truly appreciate what you as an individual are able to accomplish, appreciate the people who support your journey, the people who were there in the beginning and will be there at the end when it's all said and done.

Stay focused! No distractions! Last but not least I would like to thank my friends, family, coach and sponsor Natural Vitamins, and muscleandstrength.com for putting up with me and keeping me sane these last few weeks! Give everything but up!
