T-N-T (Trish (Wood) n Training) Journal: Finding MY (inner) Strength!
Who would of thought that putting on the off-season pounds would be so challenging? Of course physically putting on weight isn't hard, but the mental side of it has been my biggest challenge in a long, long time. For years I've been so scared to let myself put on weight for fear of putting on too much body fat and then having a terrible time getting it back off again in my next competition season. But I've realized that there is a line to be drawn here- between putting on too much weight (or fat) and not putting on enough.

Candice Keene’s Fitspiration to a Better You:“Inspired Thought”
Hey Guys!
To catch you up to speed a bit..I am 3 weeks into my Olympia prep!! Boy, these weeks are flying!! This summer has been flying!! Since the NY Pro, I have been training hard and trying to have a little ME time. As you know, I juggle school full time, competing, and doing my ProCakez..so a little ME time was much needed!! I took the summer off and had a good 7 weeks of NO contest prep mode!! At first I was going a little crazy because I was so used to be doing something all the time, so naturally I felt a little lost. But I got over that quick! I started to listen to the thoughts in my head (haha..thats sounds lil cooky huh lol)..I am talking about inspired thoughts.
