11weeks to GO!!

So now its 11 weeks  as of Saturday the 23rd of July ,  I am so far content with how my body is shaping up but at the same time I am in PANIC mode!!! .

It has not been 100% perfect dieting , I have had my chocolates on the weekends and oh cant forget the table spoon of peanut butter every morning!!! :)...but now I know its close so all that is coming out !

I know that there is so much I want to improve and I don't just want to look GOOD on stage, I want to look AMAZING!!! I am harsh on myself I don't compete against no one but me!!

I always have a mental picture of how I want to look and that is what I strive for!
I don't obsess over it even though some people would like to argue that :) ,  I train because  I love training, I compete because I love achieving the impossible and pushing my body that much further, and yes I will have my treats here and there and food I enjoy every now and than because I'm not perfect I enjoy the whole competition prep, but I also want to enjoy a bit of life too , finding that balance is hard and sometimes, like I found happened couple weeks ago you lose focus of what you  are training for and even why you compete.  I have these periods, I go through them every time , but the most important thing is to stay true to yourself and know why you are doing it and what your goals are. I don't compete for the trophy (  I have too many now that I store them in a box in the garage) I do it to challenge me ! To see what I can achieve with my training and diet, and to see how I can improve my overall condition, I don't visualize another figure athletes and say that's how I want to look, I actually look at my body and visualize what I have and see what I can do with it and how I can change it.  I do admire a lot of figure girls, but I know there bodies are different than mine they respond different to food and training , so I know I'll never look like  them exactly. 

Now it's full on dieting from here! I am looking forward to seeing how  I come up in the next few weeks!!

What Ever It Takes!

So its now 16weeks out  and I am happy that I have managed to stick to my diet for the last 2weeks!! :)...
This week has been a bit frustrating with training, ended up getting a cold and still trying to fight it off.   I'm not one for giving in and not training, which in the long term I think is prolonging my cold, but I'm stubborn and I have a goal in mind and I'll push my body to the limits!...

In saying that I have been taking heaps of Vitamin C, cold and Flu tabs, herbal mixture made up by one of the Natropath's at work for my dreadful cough!!! Of course my mom has loads of every tab for everything in her cupboard and she pulled everything out for me to take!..Love you mom!...

The best part is that i have  great wonderful people around me that help me in any way possible and I'm so grateful to have that! which is probably the most important thing whenever you try to get ready for a competition is that you have positive and support friends and family around you.

 I will push through all boundaries to get to my goal!

I WILL DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES !!!

Getting Back My Focus

After having over a year off from competing I am so excited and ready to hit the stage again in October for the IFBB Vics and IFBB Nationals.
It has been a hard year or so with my whole life changing around but I found that as long as I kept focus on my goals and dreams I was able to pick my  self up again and focus on my training and getting to the best shape ever for the October comps.

Dieting doesn't come easy for me, I struggle alot with getting started takes me about 2 or 3 wks to get into to it but after that its all all good!! :)

so in this being like well suppose to be like the 2nd wk of dieting but cause I cant help but eat chocolate every 2 or 3 days!!!! ..lol... its back to the drawing board and start again!! :).....

I love my cardio so ill start off with at least 1hr a day for the next 2wks than increase as I go :)

Yahhhhh cant wait to see how my body turns out this time around..hopefully some good improvements!! :)
