Haven't written for a while.............

Well Chels and Nath move home to Goolwa this week end.
So exciting.
Chels is now about 16 or 17 weeks and starting to show!!!
Can't wait, Nath has already been working in his new job for about 2 and a half weeks and seems to like it there, Chels and Nath have just secured a lovely new home to rent, and Chels has a little part time job lined up for the summer months.
It's all looking good.

Haven't seen Dylan for a while. I must ring him and tee up meeting for lunch.
Miss him! His umpiring season has finished now for the year so wonder what he is gonna do to fill that gap.

Training is going full on.

Have decided that next April 2010 (25th to be exact) i am going to compete in the INBA Body Building Competition in Norwood, so training and diet are right on track. 27 weeks to go, or maybe 26 now actually.

Am so excited and focused about that.

Wondering if i might win one of the 4 comps i entered my photos in for...................... I do hope i win one at least!!! But there are so many people that go in for these comps. And many work hard like me, or harder!

Anyway, back to work.

Love this..........................

I can’t stand complaining when it comes to dieting and training. People have to accept that there are rules that must be followed to reach their goals. As long as you are looking for an easier way out, you won’t be loyal to your principles. It’s all about the mindset. Instead of seeing something as “not being allowed” or “cannot have,” you have to tell yourself that you can choose the foods that help you reach your goals and you can choose to avoid the ones that don’t. In other words, you have the right to eat whatever crap you want, but if you do, it’s just because you are not 100% committed.

Haven't blogged for a while!

Hi there,

Have been busy bee. Lots of training, dancing and performing of late. Am still hyped from that whole depletion week and photo shoot thing!! Now have set a new goal for myself. It's a biggy too. April 2010 - INBA Body Building Competition in Adelaide. So, training continues...........
I have to say i am loving it so much. Must just be my time to do this because through my whole life have been really into gym, training etc., but never ever ever taken it this far, and never enjoyed it quite so much i don't think.
Although when the kids were little i loved going to Aerobics 3 times a week and never missed unless i really had to.
Anyway, that is my next goal and until then i shall keep training, and eating well and all the while be quietly preparing myself for this one.

A few days on.......................

Hey, a few days have gone since i last posted. Have been so busy.

Wow, I received my pics from photographer the same night that he took them...........

I couldn't believe how fast he got them back to me.

I have nearly 600 to choose from and have been checking them out - over the last few days.

When i started looking at my pics all i could think was - OMG i still have so much work to do on my lower body!!!Now i am actually starting to like some of them................ but so hard to choose which ones to send in for the comps. I also have to write a 500 page essay. I plan to send everything in by Monday. You get a couple of weeks and that will be one week after my finish date, so that should be fine. I just don't want to rush this as I really want to make the right choices and write a good story to go with the pics.

Moving along,

I got straight back into training actually.

In fact on the Sunday (photo day) apart from the 2 rice cakes and honey for breakky and about 10 - 12 jelly babies eaten during the photo shoot, I pretty much just got straight back into the nutrition plan that same day and then on Monday (day after) i got straight back into my training.I received my new training program on Tuesday from my Coach Kristin, so have started on that.It's kinda funny how disciplined i feel, but I don't want to stuff up any of the great results i have had, after all that hard work over the last 12 weeks.

Also, i still have another 2 weeks nearly before the Club 100 competition ends for me. I entered Body Blitz and New Body Challenge at the same time and Club 100 as well.

Oh Wow, I have just seen in my new Oxygen mag, another comp, this one is for a picture on the front of the magazine and some prize money, so i might send in a photo and story for that too and see how i go! Why not. As i keep saying, in for a penny, in for a pound.

Bye for now
