Bye Dad and Barbara

My Dad came to visit me over the weekend before he fly's back to Germany so all my good intentions of a big cook up went out the window. Having said that I dont really mind as it was great to catch up with him as I wont see him for another couple of years.

We went to the beach on Sunday morning and we spent it body surfing. My dads wife Barbara used my board had the absolute time of her life it was so much fun teaching her how to read the waves etc. not bad for a woman 60+ (:

I was alittle slack with my training and eating of late so I'm back into now, did up a month of different workouts as they say a change is as a good as a holiday. Just finished back and tri and hubby was home so it was an uninteruppted workout yay. I have put deadlifts back into my workout so i know I will be sore tomorrow.

I have yet to cook up some clean eats I'm hoping to get stuck in the kitchen tomorrow. My littlest one is not a happy camper atm so everything is a little more challenging. Thanks to those that have left comments it always brings a smile to my face, take care

Smashing workout :)

I had a wicked workout today, back and tri. I just love smashing the previous workout. Also went for a 10km walk early this morning pushing bub in the pram, I forgot how much I love cardio. I think that is what put me in such a good mind set when I got in the gym (:

My diet hasnt been very consistent of late. Kind of just eating what and when I feel like it. This is having a toll on me I noticed that my energy levels arent as great and feel a little lethargic. So I'll have to get my but in gear and cook up some good eats.

Where Have I Been

I'm so lazy when it comes to blogging. Anyhow my little girl has made some wonderful new friends so im relly happy about that. One of the boys that was in her class last year bought her in a flower the other day so she wouldnt be sad, how cute is that.

Training wise I'm going great guns. A few injury niggles here and there very annoying. my strength is improving each session so i have to be happy with that. hubby jumped in the gym the other night to help and i did drop sets OMG my arms were literally numb, i completely loved them though drop sets ROCK.

I had my sil wedding on the weekend which I was bridesmaid at. She looked absolutely beautiful,stunning as every bride should. The wedding was great had a fab time as I think everyone would have. The only thing that annoyed me was that some relatives that new i had comptetd last year would come up grab my arm and say "oh so your not working out anymore" WTF do I say to that. I dont know if they just dont understand the sport or that I havent made any changes at all?? dunno.

Anyway must go Mummy duties call

Back to school

Kids are back at school today WOOHOO. My little girl started year 1 today bless her cotton socks. I was a bit annoyed as they put her in a different class from nearly everyone she went to pre primary with so she was feeling a little sad that she had no friends in her class. Hopefully fingers crossed she will come home today full of excitment at all the new friends she made.

Well I spoke to Lou and she understands why I wont be competing early this year. As she pointed out there are many more comps toward the end of the year. I'm still eating clean and training hard, feeling really good to.

Mu hubby and I sat down together over the weekend and came up with a weight program more suited to me, with all my injuries I'm finding really heavy lifting is hurting for all the wrong reasons. So we focussed on lighter weights doing drop sets and super sets it was so much FUN. Fingers crossed soon my body will respond to the massage therapy I'm having and I will be back into the heavy lifting.
Any way I'm in the middle of a huge cook up so must dash the oven is talking to me

Want to be Bigger

Well I have decided I wont compete until I fell that I'm ready. Im really enjoying training again and following a nutrition plan but I just want to be bigger. Thats not to much to ask is it. I think it will take me a few years to be any sort of competition.

Im seeing Lou tomorrow I have to tell her that I'm not quite ready to compete I hope she isnt dissapointed. I hate dissapointing people that support me. As well as wanting to get bigger competing sure does drain the finances and we are still trying to catch up from xmas )-:

School goes back next week WOOHOO I love my kids dont get me wrong but enough is enough.
My son who is 11 this year wants to get into weight training but I dont know if he is to young or if it will do anything to him devolpment wise. Im going to look into futher if any one knows Im all ears for advice.

"THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE

YOU PUT ON YOURSELF"

Family Drama

Family shit can just get you down cant it? My sil who was really supportive for the first 6months of my comp prep has decided to not speak to me due to he said she said bullshit? ARGH I thought I left highschool a long time ago. If she wasnt family I wouldnt give a toss but we have her sister's wedding comming up next month and we are both bridesmaids, well that should be fun. I have the hens night this comming weekend and I feel sick to my stomach. I know I have to go but I so dont want to. I feel kinda better now, I just had to get that out as it is affecting me in more ways than it should be.

I had an awesome training session this morning shoulders and calves, my shoulders have the striations through them when I'm working them I LOVE IT. Calves are another story not so good it hurts my hip would you believe. Never fear I'm going to nasty nanna tonight ( my massage lady ) she is wicked and mean and hurts like hell but I will so much better for it, in a couple of days LOL.

Going up to see Lou tomorrow and I have to admit I'm a little nervous. Excited to cause we are going to her new house which I havent seen yet. Hopefully she will make us some of her yummy coffee.

"NO-ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL

INFERIOR WITHOUT YOU CONSENT "

Here we go Again

I plan to compete at some point this year, just not sure when. The IFBB show here in Perth seems inticing but its so soon and I dont have enough muscle )-: yet anyway.

I have kept on reading all blogs as the blog girls are so inspiring.



I have been eating what I like when I like with in reason. The lovely Lou rang a couple of weeks ago and said how about competing again (-: I didnt have to think for to long. So here I go again.



On the health band wagon of chicken and veg LOL. I went and saw Lou last Wednesday for the fat reading etc. I was pleasantly suprised to learn I was sitting at 15% bodyfat and put on 2kg since comp (-: so no complaining there.



I only started getting back into weight training seriously last week to discover my hip is still a bit twangy )-: As I'm trying to build some muscle there is no cardio for me ATM which I hate cause I love my cardio. I trust Lou so I will do as I'm told. I tell ya eating every 2 hours has got knobs on it I'm so over eating already LOL.
