This morning I woke up before my alarm, sweet! I head downstairs to make a cup of hot tea when I start to wonder, "body, what did you do all last night?!?!" Surely not recovery mode! Ouch, sore arms, sore legs, and are there bricks around my ankles cause walking is sure taking A LOT of energy.
I have a big workout on my to-do list today, where can I find that drive...hmmmm. "Photo shoot next weekend, keep pushing." I ponder on that thought hoping. But nope, motivation hasn't showed up yet. "In three weeks your going to be on stage in a teeny tiny bikini!!!" Nope, that fire hasn't ignited.
So what do you do on days like this? Sit on the couch? NO. You lace up your sneakers, throw your gym bag over your shoulder and get to the gym. Crank up that music, give yourself extra time to warm-up and usually by just being in this atmosphere it shows up. That is what happened to me this morning. KILLED the back today, energy is here, Mr. Motivation is in my face. Not even noon and what? Yep, ready for more! Putting myself in that atmosphere alone usually does the trick to knock out fatigue.
Here is one of my fav quotes that goes good with this blog: "Failures do what is tension relieving, while winners do what is goal acheiving." ~ Dennis Waitley

About Me
- Kelly Clinton-NPC Competitor
- I recently moved back to the states after living in Japan and working as a personal trainer for military personnel and their spouses. Moving back to the states felt like the perfect timing to switch gears and focus on my own goals of competing in the NPC Bikini Division. I love my life as a trainer and competitor. I see the body as a piece of clay waiting to be shaped and sculpted into a beautiful master piece. I love watching my own transformations and equally love seeing the transformations I help create in others.
