Well, it must be about 11 or 12 weeks until comp (must find out for sure!!)
last Saturday I headed to Melbourne to watch the INBA all female classic which was awesome and very motivating. It was nice to be there to watch a couple of friends compete.
I met up with Lisa, my coach for some face to face chatting and a killer workout session, it took me about 4 days to recover from it, but it was a great experience, very nice to actually train with someone for a change, be pushed that little bit further and to have someone there to spot when things get too heavy.
The day itself was a great chance to meet up with some fellow bloggers and members of Lindy Olsen's forum, if anyone hasn't visited her forum, you should drop into www.lindyolsen.com it is one of the best places!! Lindy and all her crew and just wonderful. I was able to meet about 8 or so people off of the forum, we watched the prejudging show and then all went out for lunch, shopping, coffee, talking, coffee more show. I have never met some many wonderful "strangers" and felt so completely at ease!
AS for diet and training, Lisa has called in the big guns to help with my training Krista Schaus is a member of Bodyworx and she and Lisa have developed "an evil plan" to quote Lisa! Am into calorie cycling now and some heavy duty training. My new self talk is "I am HUGE" and I have to work on keeping that in my head whilst i am trying to push out the last reps of squats and try and do chin ups. My goal for the next 4 weeks is to be able to squat my bodyweight (will have to lose some weight to make it easier LOL) and to do 3 chinups minimum. so far i am about 10kg off on the squats and can just about manage 1.5chins. So watch this space.
Diet went well last week, but has fallen over the weekend due to a couple of bad decisions and lack of planning, hormones have probably had a negative effect aswell!!luckily for me Lisa is on the other end of cyberspace with encouraging words. I sent in my photos from this week, and apparently i have leaned out some since the last week (it always takes an outsider to see the changes!) so that helped.
will start posting photos here again so you can follow the progress. Please note: this is the start of the comp prep and great things are going to follow!!
until next week, eat well, live well, sleep well, love well and train hard
