post comp

It has been 2 weeks since competition now, life is pretty much back to normal. We went away for a week the day after which was nice, although the freedom to eat as i pleases was a bit too much! i can home from hols feeling quite bloated and ready to eat "normally" again. It is quite funny seeing how different types of food affect my body from all angles, moods, bloat, gas etc.

Got back onto training again once we were home, time to start building some muscle and at least maintaining this level of body fat, if not reducing it slightly. It was nice to feel sore again after a weights session, even just a week off of exercising felt wrong!!

Food is back on track mostly for me now back to my precompetition diet, but a little more relaxed, if i want to eat some bread or a cake, at least now i can. It is hard though to remain focused when there is no deadline at the end of it. it is too easy to "cheat" daily and i need to work on staying on track at least 6 days a week and then allowing myself the luxury of a cheat meal. I am happy with my weight and current shape/size i just need to be careful not to slip back into old habits and gain back my old body!

Have just spoken to the head judge about the competition and the feedback was all positive and encouraging, he thinks i should do well in October and if i keep at it, i could be in good enough shape to be competitive at an Australian level next October.. how cool would that be!

So, in the mean time i will be training hard, eating well and enjoying the new body and lifestyle that i have created for myself!
