Get me my mojo, asap!

So after looking at the 2012 contest schedule for the Pro Physique division online and I actually felt a little sick to my stomach.  While I had that familiar excitement and energy, I also had a small bout of nausea that quickly followed. I've competed on the pro level in the natural divisions, but this just seems like a totally different league.  I know that there's a possibility that I could be the only natural competitor on that stage.  And while that makes me feel good inside, it also scares the crap out of me.  I don't know much about what women in non-tested shows take to get ready for a contest but I do know that it'll probably take me twice as long to lose the same amount of fat.  That's the sacrifice that natural competitors make to look their best on stage, but I must day that it does stress me out a bit.  Gotta love those sabotaging thoughts that your mind can produce!

One of the reasons I felt a little sick to my stomach are the issues I've been having with my digestive system (to put it nicely).  I've been a bloated mess for weeks now.  I have this huge distended stomach (looking like I'm way pregnant), have terrible cramps, and awful irregularity.  So immediately I start looking for resolutions.  I ordered some probiotics and enzymes which are helping a little, but I've now had to revamp my diet to see what the culprits are (I'm guessing vegetables?). 

Needless to say that with all of these physical issues come the mental ones too.  I need to get my mojo back asap!  That March contest will be here before I know it so I decided that it's time for a fresh game plan.  The first thing I'm doing is changing up my diet.  I've gotta figure out what's bothering my stomach so the diet change is imperative.  Second thing I'm gonna do is change up my workouts. I think that giving myself a new schedule and body part split will help a lot.  The last change I'm going to make right now is my cheat day meal plan (or lack thereof).  I currently eat whatever I want on Saturdays, but feeling sick and nauseated all day is no longer cool with me.  So to remedy this I'm going to eat clean all day & pick something special for dinner.  Lets see if that will fix me up...
