Today I'm feeling a little down (nothing major) and in keeping with the 'warts and all' mindset, I have decided to blog about it.
The worst part of post comp is the feeling of aimlessness. For months I have been totally focused on logging and weighing food, calculating cals in and cals out all to make sure I was in tip top condition when I got up on stage in a teensy bikini. Now that that goal has been achieved, it is a case of 'where to from here?' I have to admit I have always been a late bloomer and this is no different. Most people go through the post comp low straight after but I tend to go through it after a few months. I'm not sure if it is because my weight stays pretty stable for a while afterwards or it just takes time for me to come down from the high of competing. It may also be due to having new DVDs and program to play with. I don't know but I guess I'll just roll with it. I'm taking the positives out of it and can gladly say that I am still exercising and diet hasn't been too bad - I'm just going through a bit of rebellious stage of not wanting to prep anything so we have had a couple of dinners of egg and soldiers in the last week.

Have a whinge Michelle, its good to let it out and even better to share.
Im sure if you take your focus away from 'post comp' and 'what now' and bring it to you feeling vibrant and healthy maybe your outlook change change?
Hey Michelle, that all sounds perfectly normal and it might be time to figure out what's next on your fitness agenda - you could maybe look at a tri, half mara or adventure race - from all the time I've known you , you do so much better with like minded souls around you and something to look forward to - could be fun to have a fitness weekend when the half mara is on as an example.
Hugs

Shar - you are so right, I need to change my focus.
Liz - I'm not really sure what I want to do yet. I might have to get my thinking cap on.
