Never Give Up NEW PICS on p.311

Good solid workout ... loving the title change of your journal

Time for this to be moved ?

yey flick!  loving the new, improved positive attitude! 

you can do it as well if you work hard!

Training has never been a problem for me, I LOVE IT!

Could always put a bit more oomph into cardio and had previously had probs with dieting but I don't see that happening next year :-)

Will be interesting to see what I look like at 100% :-)

Training Chest and Shoulders today, much later on, can't wait!!

You're going to rock it - can't wait to see the end result!

No question in my mind.....AT ALL!

Yep....lets move this journal.......

Great positive attitude you ....worked for me this year

Only did Chest tonight, then Abs, couldn't do Shoulders as I felt like I'd given 110% on Chest to the point where I thought my Chest/Shoulder tie-in was going to snap during calbe-crossover! Mega pumped and training fecking heavy too!

Kitty - here's hoping :-) Even if the positivity wouldn't bring me anything better (I KNOW it will) at least I'll have a better time doing onstage!

leg training then onto the stepper....how i do not miss that

So true. I really enjoyed myself on stage at the finals this year more than any other show I've done simply because I knew I looked better than I ever had. I was even happy to be beaten looking like I was BUT it would have been a bummer . Hearing your name called out as first in the finals is one of the best feelings and I do hope you get to hear it this year. I have every faith in your confidence and ability .

Thanks Kitty! That really means a lot... I feel much better this year in that I feel like I have enough muscle to be a physique girl rather than "I'll do it this year as a stepping stone and next year I'll have more muscle", I'll feel like I really belong, and will hopefully have a stormer!

You were really confident the year before as well, but I couldn't work out whether that was real or bravado - this year, EASY TO TELL, so I guess it does show the difference.

Plus, I can actually see my leg muscles now, which is odd. Before I had big legs, but wasn't really that sure whether it was all fat or muscle! :-(

IB - I've been lucky in the past that, Karen, initially, didn't get me doing cardio on leg days, so it was quite a shock to the system for me too but I had some time to kill! And yes, we need to fix up a workout, I'm rubbish at messaging sorry!!

no problemo!
my inbox has been reading 'one new message' for ages without one being in there so gave up checking

not been very well all weekend :-(

Was meant to ahve a girlie night out last night, but it was so icy in Brighton that we ended up not going anywhere. I just sat in my friend house on the seafront feeling sorry for myself - didn't even drink!

Today, am still achy and yukky but at least I'm back home now.

Carl has just taken Delta to dog training dressed as Santa Claus - Delta ofcourse not Carl!

Awe huni, sounds poo-ey!
Hope you're on the mend
xx

All this illness is noooooooot good....

Jeepers, I can't even get a decent hangover going these days...

Hope you are feeling much better angel.  

Aww Flick * hugs* ... I hope the lurgi monster effs off soon x

Get wrapped up and bunker down and look forward to spending Chrissmissy with C!!!!! x

hope you feel better soon! seems like everyone is getting a turn at the moment!

So... managed to get through teaching Strictly on Sat, then went off to see friends in Brighton.
Meant to go out but icy roads and feeling like utter death meant I managed to co-erce them into staying in and playing "Guess the Intro" all night. Drank half a beer, mixed with cold and flu tabs - interesting!
Sunday - still dying, went home as soon as I could and was taken care of by Carl all day.
Monday - still dying, had 3 clients, 2 of whom were ill too, then came home and died some more.
