COMPETITIVE MINDSET

This blog is about the competitive mindset. The uncontrollable urge to set a goal and work relentlessly until you have reached that goal. What follows this is a great feeling of satisfaction that is usually short lived and must be followed by a new goal to work toward. Some people, myself included, go through life repeating this pattern over and over. What drives us to do the peculiar things that we do in order to make it to our goal, our competitions? There are so many interesting and comical things that happen to us along the way as we prepare for any type of competition. My husband and I are preparing now to compete at the NPC Master's Nationals in 7 weeks. I will be competing in the new Physique division in the over 35 and over 45 division. My hubby will compete in the over 50 light heavy weight Bodybuilding division. We both have very demanding full time jobs and really do not have the time that we spend preparing for competition....but we do it anyway and just never sleep! Many of our friends think that we have a screw loose but we both have that competitive mindset and we really can't help ourselves. I guess that is why we are such a perfect match. I will be blogging about all the crazy things that happen to us along the way.
