Thinking about......

For

2010 Australasian Championships

Just under 19 weeks to go!! I can make it no worries, its gonna be a bit rough over xmas and New Years - i generally go a bit bOnKeRs with yummy yummy food at that time of year. I am pretty lean atm, so not worried about dieting. My main concern is whether I am jumping up again too quickly and not maximising my muscle growth. But having said that, I will have 7 months in between comps, so I should be fine :o)

So the decision is looking like it has been made....... Holy Shit I am in Comp Prep again!!

update and inspiration

YAY its the weekend!!! I am loving the weekends, cos its refeed time. Both Rob and I are eating the same way, which is making it nice. He has dropped a little bit of body fat. My abs are showing a lot more. Happy with it. Have had a few comments at the gym about how much leaner I am too. I am excited about it all. Something has clicked over in my head post comp this time. I am not junking it up, I want to still be lean, so this works perfectly for me.



Will do my measurements etc next week and see where I am at. No point doing it today as we had our first free meal last nite and a few glasses of wine too. Might be a little bit water loaded today. Although I am noticing that I am not holding the water like I was holding it after a free meal. Which is always nice.

The above is a pic of Sara Bing. This is the type of physique that I would love to have. The one that I am currently training for. This is how I believe Figure girls should look, and not the anorexic look that some judges place highly.

Todays training will be legs. They have stopped hurting from Mondays training so time to hit them again. Everything else with training is going great. I got back to un assisted pull ups yesterday. Only got 3 sets of 5 out, but all the same happy with that considering that I am 9kg heavier than my comp weight.

time to brush my teeth and get ready for work. hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. xxx

Sun exposue and fat loss

“Eureka!” is heard as scientists uncover new discoveries, the cry accompanied by a cartoon light bulb appearing overhead. If that cartoon scene holds a clue to fat loss, it may be the light cast by the bulb. Insane, right? Surely fat loss is not as simple as upgrading from 60 to 75 watts? Of course it isn’t, but there is a body of evidence suggesting that fat loss may be related to light exposure, more specifically, sun exposure.

Understanding the process involved is at first complex, but with a little effort, it becomes clear. In fact, don’t be surprised if you need to read this article two or three times to fully understand it, as it deals with true cutting-edge science. The process likely evolved eons ago, when man was just learning to walk upright and considered fire to be a message from the gods. Before the advent of air-conditioning, forced-air furnaces and grocery stores, mankind responded to the changes in season just the way animals continue to do today. The only measure of time available to primitive man was the length of the day, with shorter days announcing the coming of winter and a period of famine (starvation). As the days lengthened, warmer weather approached and food became more readily available. Man responded to the coming of winter by storing fat and burning fewer calories, while summer required him to shed those excess pounds to hunt and gather without becoming prey to carnivorous predators. The question arises: How did the sun signal primitive man to store fat for the winter and shed fat in the summer?

We had the best weekend ever!! We went out all dressed up for halloween and partied the night away getting home around 4am. What fun we had!! Yesterday we went out for drinks with new friends that we have made too. Its always good to welcome new friends into your life.

Nutrition wise, we had our refeed on the weekend, didn't over do it with junk. Ate pasta, cereal, oats and yummy carbs. Today we are right back onto keto. should take a couple of days to get back into ketosis again. I am seeing a lot more definition in my abdominal area. Rob is accompanying me on my journey too. He has never done a cutting diet. Although I am not doing a cutting diet per se. I am eating the anabolic way to maximise muscle growth.

I have not done any weight training since Friday. I gotta tell ya that i am still hurting a bit in the triceps from that workout anyway! I had lots of cardio from working and dancing for the entire night on Saturday. Gotta love that incidental cardio hey!!

So all in all, everything is going well. I am on track. I am still undecided about whether to do the IFBB show in March. Might wait till the Southerns in May, that gives me a bit more time to stack on some more delicious muscle :o)

It is very easy to give in when things seem hard. True strength of character allows us to battle on regardless of how hard we think things are. If you are having a bad day, just keep your focus and remember tomorrow is always a new day. xxx

I love living here!!

I can't believe I was stupid enough to leave this beautiful place earlier this year! what was I thinking!! at least we rectified the problem and came back home swiftly. I love living here so much. Especially this time of year when there are thousands of visitors here for the Noosa Tri.



Yesterday afternoon we took the kids down to the Tri Festival and had a good sticky beak at the stalls they have there. Tonight Rob and I are heading back down to Hastings Street with our Halloween costumes on to party the night away!! should be a great night.



On quickly to the topic of comps.... I am waiting to hear when the IFBB Australasians is on next year. This year they had it on in March to coincide with the Pro show. If I am to do this comp, I have to seriously start thinking about planning my prep.



Training is going great for me. I am aching all over atm. Was going to go and train today but every single body part hurts, so might just chill this afternoon.

Happy Halloween!

pffttt that was a long enuf break... I am back ;o)

Did you honestly think that I would be able to stay away from blogging for very long??

See these babies?? I want them back!

Today I went and bought a new bikini. It is an Aussie one. I have wanted one of these for yonks as my mate Sarah has one and it looks so hawt! So being the sheep I am in an effort to look great, I bought one too. Noice if i do say so myself. Now to just get back the banging body that I had above and I will be blissfully happy. My goal time wise for this bangin body is my birthday weekend which is now just under a month away.

Aside from wanting them back for my birthday. I want them back for good!! I don't want to have such a big difference between off season and on season body.

So back onto Keto I go.

Training wise, I have been a bit slack this past week. My cardio consists of 10+hour shifts at work doing the housekeeping. I come home drained and sweating like a mofo. I was supposed to train yesterday but have had a funny dizzy thing going on. I woke up with it again this morning but this avo it seems to have settled a bit so I am going to go to the gym tonight and train with all the meatheads. should be interesting seeing what machines are actually available. So won't make my mind up on which body part to do until I see whats available. I am hoping for back cos I want to do my legs tomorrow morning.

I have been burning the candle at both ends this past week and probably getting about 5-6hrs of sleep a nite. This does not work for me at all! I am a 8hrs+ a nite kinda girl.

Off to get ready for the gym. I have a pot of kanga spags bubbling away for our dinner tonight. that should keep everyone happy. xxx
