As much as I wish I could say that competing won’t interfere with your day-to-day life, it will. On top of working, many people have kids. Now toss in days filled with rigid training, measuring out your food, and calorie counting. A solid competition plan is going to have you booked out, and your wiggle room becomes more limited as your event nears.
Your diet is going to have to be airtight. Cheats may be allowed in the beginning, but eventually they’ll get yanked. You’re a guinea pig to your nutrition plan for your first few competition preps. Needless to say, this makes going to social events a test of will. Treats brought into work by colleagues will test your resolve. How strong is your willpower? How easily can you say no?
Be prepared to carry Tupperware meals to parties and social events and to wake early on weekends to meet your caloric needs. Also realize that just because you become comfortable with the process, others may not. Co-workers might raise an eyebrow at your foul-smelling reheated tilapia, your family may not get it, and friends might fall away. The key is to believe in your goals and prepare yourself to answer the same questions a hundred times. Remember, people don’t have to understand what you’re doing or why you’re doing it. Only you do.
As your schedule fills up with show prep, your phone may stop ringing. In truth, a lot of people may cut and run due to the discomfort of seeing you tighten your self-discipline. You might also miss out on social events entirely as you try to find a balance between contest prep and real life. Happy hours, birthday parties, and going out with friends isn’t quite the same when you’re stuck with water, unsweetened iced tea, and a limited diet plan. If you’re not content snacking on veggies, nuts, and fruit when you’re out and about, I highly recommend not putting yourself in situations where you’re likely to cave or backtrack on your goals. Admit your own vulnerabilities and plan ahead to stay on track.
