Two Shows Back To Back
by: CindyMartinez - June 26th, 2008
Hope everyone is having a great summer!! Can not believe we are almost in JULY!!
I have 9 Weeks to go Until North Americans and 10 Weeks until New York Team Universe.My focus is Conditioning and Presentation. I have never competed in two shows 1 week apart, so it will be interesting to see how it all Pans out. I will make sure to keep good notes.
My schedule is still pretty full. I have one less obligation (my kids and school), but then I added a new one. I am taking an Organic Chemistry Class. The class ends right before my shows, so it works out perfectly.
I am still struggling with getting enough sleep! By 11 PM, I am exhausted. One part of me wants to go to bed and the other part wants to CLEAN, STUDY, BROWSE the web. Before you know it its 2 AM and I have to be up for cardio by 6:30 AM!
So.... the sleep situation is my biggest issue. It takes a toll on your body!!
Shooting for 10:30 PM tonight, with some ON Melatonin and discipline I wish for a good nights rest!
Have a nice weekend everyone!! XOXO :)

Wow, busy busy, I still don't see how you all do it, but I guess you got it dead on with "discipline." Keep it up and you'll do great!
Good luck Organic, not a fun class.

Im right there with you. Best of luck with your two shows. I have done shows back to back with a week in between. It is tough but you can do it. Melatonin has been a great bed time buddy of mine also.

Hey Cindy! I may see you at NAs, if finances permit! I hope so! Good luck with your prep... you can do it!
I hear ya on the sleeping and never having enough time for everything! But, rest is soooo important for you now (as I type this at 11:30pm! LOL) I take ON Melatonin every night with Decaf Chamomile tea and it does help you sleep through the night.

Good luck Cindy!!! Back to back shows is no doubt extremely hard but if there's a person who can do it, it's you!

I'm right there with you, my friend! Four more weeks for me. The most difficult part about back to back shows is the packing and unpacking, laundry, and groceries (mainly because we have to take care of the rest of the people in the household as well).
As for sleep - you know I'll be up. Call me later!
