4 weeks today!


Time to get serious and really pull up my socks now! Diet has to be 100% clean from here on, it is only 4 weeks and i can do this! The plan is to eat lean protein and green veggies from here on (with the exception of post workout foods) cardio has to be daily and weights pretty much daily as well. Bit of a challenge this week as Mike is away for 3 days, so will have to get creative with the workouts there! I also need to be very careful with food whilst he is away, as that is the time i tend to "let go"


Photos from today were encouraging and i think i can make it! (correction, i KNOW i can!!) I had thought about doing a double comp, and competing on the Saturday as well as the Sunday, but have decided against that as logistically it is going to be too difficult and stressful with the travel, kids, shows etc. So to make life easier for all concerned, i am just going to compete with ANB on Sunday.


Posing is coming along and i am sore today from a really good session yesterday at the workshop. Really enjoyed the workshop, the most wonderful Lindy Olsen was there who is most inspiring, she really hit a chord with me with her story, brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat, especially as she was close to tears herself. It is not very often you come across such a warm and generous person who is so passionate about what she does and how she got there. I had the biggest hug from her when i left and on the drive home i really believed that i could do anything.


I was complemented on my posing by Janet Kane, who is a multiple title holder within the figure circles and i found that great; at one of the first workshops i went to she commented that i really had to do something about my legs (they just didn't look right no matter where i put them) so to receive a complement from her really made me feel like i have made huge progress!


so motivation is on the up, i finally have the belief in myself again that i can look "stage worthy" in the next 4 weeks, i may not be a winner yet, but as long as i can hold my own and have improved since the last comp then i will have won in my mind!
