Figure/Physique Countdown 2010

Welshy

makes it all so real and seems like something that WILL happen now and not something that MAY happen in the future... hopefully that makes sense.. it did in my head lol !

Totalli!!!
I can feel a real shift in my attitude to my diet now. The training side's always been good for me, but I can, see that every mouthful ( bad lady (but I did think the sam of your advised 'fluid intake' how juevanile ) really does count now.
 
Am thinking central and nothern (see my 'other journal').
 
Looking forward to catching up on the 28th

1. I'd do posing AFTER training if I were you - you'll be pumped and look heaps better and FEEL better :-D
2. Welshy - I bet you change your t-walk music a thousand times between now and Centrals - I picked my music for Southern in the November before - I stuck to it but boy was I bored!!! Think I may have done the same this winter for next season, but haven't convinced myself quite yet.
3. Congrats on the weight loss!!!!
Just so I can congratulate or boll0ck appropriately, how much are you aiming to lose on average each week?
4. I've got some currently FAT pictures of myself if you need to se them to show you what you go from and to when you diet and to show you that however fat you think you  are, you're really not sweetie :-)
 
We're all very proud of you.
 
Over and out.

Awe! Thank You!
I've been a bit up and down this w/e so don't feel like I deserve so much encouragement. Not particularly diet wise, just in myself, bit marks head off before I went to gym sun am, was fine when I got back having had my endorphine boost but he was a little wary for the rest of the day bless him.
BUT feeling positive again today. Off this week did 20 usual stairmaster this am, but upped the intensity, which just goes to prove i can and have done spinning tonight, diet spot on,brocolli bought
As kitty said 1lb a week I think should be the goal but I will be kicking extra ass wherever possible to try and exceed that.
Photos comparisons would be fabby, email or FB them hififi55@hotmail.com and I'll wallow a little left over from the w/e and say I am as fat as I think I am! BUT I'm aiming not to be.
Now where's that broccolli.......

Do it NOW before the diet goggles come on honey!  and yes, pose AFTER a workout (or, if you're like me....DURING....as you catch glimpse of slighty pumped up 'ooooo is that a VEIN' muscularity)

What a fabby day!
Had a great session this am with a chap at gym who skips and goes on the bag, I invited myself to his sessions and we had a great time, something different, keep the body guessing and burning, burn baby!
Than had a girlfriend round for lunch and have been to spin this evening, now clean, fed and VERY chilled
 
Thnx for photos flick. Just had another bit of a eureka moment in the shower actualli!
Found kitty's before and after photos I had printed out and after looking at your also realised that actually I do look like those photos, and therefore I MUST be able to lose a decent amount of weight in the time I have and do this!
Woop Woop! I love moments like that
Definitely coming together slowly but surely

See!!!

We're geniuses! I've not seen Kitty's interestingly, I'd imagine they'd be a good source of inspiration - she loses more than me and always hits better condition so it ca totally be done :-)

WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK so endorphins may be 'a little' high after spinning at 7am!
The tunes had great 'donks' on them!

Weight: stayed the same, which I'm actually ok with.
I've been off all week and whilst I have exrercised A LOT, I did because I knew I would slip with lunch dates with girlfriends
I feel slimmer tho?!
My body also slows down when I don't eat every 2 hours or drink my 3L of water a day, so expect great things next week when the whole routine kicks in back together, when I'm back at work!

I am VERY motivated tho. Got my new motivational book:
Welshy: your butt and paradigm have a page!
flick: you have a double spread!
kitty: double spread, of course!

I have put in your wonderful encouraging comments from a couple of weeks ago next to your before and after photos, with space for a pic of kitty at the Norton Cup!

My family are still being particularly dismissive of my intentions, they've heard my rollercoatser cycles for too long, so I can't wait to prove them wrong!

Oh god - PLEASE DON'T SHOW MY BEFORE PHOTOS TO OTHERS, I really hate them and are meant for personal motivation!!!

P.S Kitty went to the Yorton Cup ;-)

You shouldn't be ok with this. Rant coming. Your mindset still needs to change if you want to compete. It's not ok to exercise A LOT because you know you're going to slip up on eating. You can't do this during prep (trust me I know I've been there) it doesn't work. You need to adjust your mindset now, and get used to it. And don'tbe ok with no weight loss, you should think 'I need to work harder' (unless you're one of those people who doesn't lose one week then does double the next).

Weekly harsh rant over.

Have a good weekend!

Heard lound & clear re your photos huni xx

Mmm, cos I can be a 'nothing 1 week and then 3/4 the next' kinda gal, but I hear ya, much tighter week coming up!


FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!
Sis has just reminded me that it's my Mum+Dads ruby wedding anniversary next year........ 1st August!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????!!!!!!
and they're planning a party!!!!!!!!!????????!!!!!!!!!
So now my mum'll be like you had to pick this year (2010) to do this (compete) didn't you!??!
At least I planned to be in manchester that w/e (and at least they're in manchester now and not Newcastle, that would've really caused problems!) I'll just have to make my apologies for the party on the Sat pm, and see them on the Sunday evening. I'll be too busy tanning Sat pm, or will I need/ be allowed a high carb meal that evening? and I could just go looking VERY bronzed!

I know, Chrissie knows I have already pinched her 'never complain, never explain' mantra, it works SoOo well for me, weird
Just the other week I had a mini stress out, in my own head
There was works jolly that I was wanting to avoid.
For starters I'd look a nob with my rucksack n bags of tupperware I lug to work n back each day!
And I didn't want the calories that I would find hard to avoid, Ooo I LOVE those 'ikkle bugers and stuff they have as nibbles at posh doos! And free bar AND I would be missing a gym sesh! But I don't want people to think I'm weird or a complete party pooper, not that I really care as they're just people I work with not friends.
BUT
When asked if I was going, by the very party animal whoose opinion I was concerned about for some bizarre reason!  I just said "no, going to the gym", didn't complain, didn't explain and she just said "Ooo, I really should, but I'm really weak, you have a great session"!!!!!!!!!!
So what the f@+%$ was I worried about?????????
Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
So yes NEVER complain, NEVER explain.
End of ramble
