Thanx Elsa, that's some going for me in a month & my boss was just commenting on how much I eat! She eats lettuce leaves only before she goes on hols, lol!You're doing really well too, enjoying ready your journal each day.

Flick - Hooray! Another girl will be at meet. Haven't heard anything back from my email to monster. Defo be there now then. Do you know what time-ish proceedings will finish? No desperate hurry to get home, just to let hubby know-ish.

hiya - so sorry i didn't see this earlier.  Hope u r still coming to the meeting today.  Aim to sstay at least an hour - longer if you want to.  I guess it's generally done within 2 hours but the sit down chat bit is at the beginning.  The gym is open til 4pm if you want to stay longer.  I see you emailed the gym - i don't have an email address there i'm afraid and I'm not sure who your mail went to, but i'm very sorry you didn't get a reply.  Things are a bit manic at the moment down there - and the club isn't run by the gym itself.
 
Look forward to meeting you !! x

I met Hififi!!!   A very pretty lady i have to say...;o))

Really lovely to meet you, and great that you made the effort to come to our meeting at Monster.  I hope you enjoyed meeting a few other competitors, and it's inspired you even more.

Annie x

AaaHhh, thank you Annie!
I met a Pro!!!

It was good to go & to meet some people.
Monstor gym is quite something! VERY different to David Lloyd, lol!
Although I would be torn between the two , the atmosphere & focus you feel in a place like monster is like nothing else, love it!
But I do like to treat myself to a steam after my leg WO + cardio + abs that I'm off to do in a mo & the chnaging rooms at DL are slightly bigger & more luxurious! (& bloody well shud be 4 the fees!)
I think I should try to have a WO next time I come over for a meet, maybe even with Nicki that I met (a girl who plans to do figure this year), or we could come early & do some tentative posing practice?

A good day, gonna keep me focused.
Thank You all for organising & giving up your time to be there, I know these things don't just happen.

I think I better point out that the ladies changing rooms at our place are rather small. There are no 'extras' unless you count Paul smiling...which is rare. Air con = fire escape door open, heating on = fire escape door closed!!!! Fot the seminar we may have to let you into the gents (i use the term 'gents' very losely)....don't worry I'll make sure it's all cherry blossom fresh rather than it's usual stinky duds stale! :0)

Not feeling too hot at mo.

Has a great w/e: meeting Annie & the gang & seeing/ experiencing monster gym.
Mark & I had a nice valentine’s night, not very naughty at all (food wise, haha!) was feeling motivated after earlier meet.
Sunday had great leg WO, upped leg press to 110kg . Diet was to plan.
PT David has said he’d come to next meet with me, so that’d be kule.
Chest n Tris went well Mon am.

But then started feeling queer Mon afo. Got in from work & went straight to bed, not like me.
Mark woke me 7ish to have dinner, had 2 mouthfuls & knew I couldn’t, again not like me, back to bed.
Woke 10pm & was violently sick & then t’other, u know! Was whole days food came back!
Bollox! My body needed those nutrients after WO that am.
Bin off work today feeling quite shaky but had porridge & frappe this am & tuna steak, rice n salad this afo, so am on mend.
But tummy’s really bloated & having seen photos from sat afo am feeling like there’s no hope for me!
Haha, oh woe is me! I know it’s gonna be a long haul, I’m better with those endorphins & dopamine running through my sinues (or whatever yur brains circuitry’s called!).
Back at it tommorrow, back n bis, but think the weights'll be lighter than normal.

Hope its just a 24hr thing, take it easy tomorrow. When do you want to compete? I thought it wasnt till next year in which case you have plenty of time to perfect everything. I know you will get there.

http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/Jess1ebs-baby-belly-damage-limitation-journal-m3213092.aspx

It's not till next year! Just fed up of my body!
It feels really tight & I have great WO's & lift the wieghts & forget I'm carrying this fat suit around & I sometimes get a shock when I look in mirror, lol!
But there's nowt I can do about it now (my starting position) at least I'm now really focused in trying to do aomething about it & have the right people & support around me to do it.

Hope you're feeling better lovely lady x

Training by www.fitness121.co.uk
Diet by www.healthyaction.co.uk

Fi the main thing is you are doing something about it. You didn't gain the weight over night and it's not going to go over night either. It will be a bloody slog and no one will say it is easy because there is no quick easy fix. But when you have done it there will be no one else to take the credit except YOU!!!!!! The self satisfaction of such a personal acheivement will be priceless. You will lose friends over it but you will make new friends because of it....chin up Chicken you are doing fabuously x

Hehe, thanks for the peptalk Tan.

Bill phillips says that if there were a magic pill you could take that would give you your perfect body, he wouldn't reccomend taking it.
Cos you won't gain that satisfaction of having earned it & also you won't have learned the lessons, strength & will power along the journey that are required to succeed in achieving & maintaining such a goal.

Thanks Welshy - Thought I was feeling better, well I am, but 't'other' was still with me this morning so haven't been to gym. Think I should get a good full days eating inside me, get fuel in the tank, before I go back.

GRRRrrrrr,
Tried to eat too much protein too soon Thurs, bleurghh!
Have managed 2 slices toast with peanut butter(lower fat) &  200g rice yesterday & today, s'not good for a growing girl!
I know I've got lots of time but I miss the gym, need my fix! tried to go Fri am for light cardio, but after 10mins was definitely more cold sweat than good WO sweat, came home & I had to concentrate to lift the bags of shopping off the tesco delivery man last night, so I think improving my 110kg leg press might be on hold, lol!!
Hopefully I'll be able to have my chicken dinner tommorrow & will be fuelled & ready to go back Mon am.
