Sometimes a simple countdown can hold big things in it. Today I downloaded a countdown app for my phone to remind me of how many days I have officially left till the Texas State show in October of next year.

Now that seems pretty stupid, but as with everyone in this country now a days no one seems to have enough time in the day to remember everything. So I assisted myself with the app. As of today I have 307 days left. That means I have roughly 305 days (since the athletes meetings are always on Fridays I will also not count that) to improve on what I did the day before. That is one of the biggest things I have to remember about this show. Yes I will be judged against others, but I will judge my journey internally also.

Did I improve every day? Did I do enough that day to make a gain? Did I eat everything on my diet or did I slack off that day? Those are the tough questions you have to ask yourself if you want to be a bodybuilder. It is my goal to write in my blog everyday for the next 307 days to not only hold myself accountable, but to also talk about the struggles I go through as I prepare for my show.

So here goes nothing and I’m jumping into the deep water. I’ve never sank before and not going to start now!!!!
