I am less than a week away from my Costa Rican photo and video shoot and not looking nearly as lean as my last shoot.
What to do? Why is this happening?
One word… STRESS
I have been stressing about completing end of the year projects (including the redesign of my website and challenge/training materials, new websites being launched, media opportunities, etc.), ongoing business operations, holiday stress, logistics for all of my Dec/Jan travel and photo shoot, and physically prepping on top of my normal day-to-day operations. Oh and most likely the biggest stressor… The emotional stress of my return to Costa Rica.
Please don’t read this as complaining. I just want to show you all that even good stress can be stressful.
So, onto the answer to this… DO LESS. SLEEP MORE. STICK WITH MY NUTRITION.
This is counter intuitive but sometimes we get more from doing less. So instead of pounding out 2 hours of cardio and starving myself, I am taking a step back and trying to relax more over the next few days.
