Never Give Up NEW PICS on p.311

Flick, i think im going to the same show as you. My moms having kids this wk-end and since im going off the rails a bit what better way to spend wk-end instead of mopping around. Sooooo excited I phoned the guy at NABBA and he said it starts 2pm, just gonna check out web-site.

Ok, well drop me an email if you are going and keep an eye out for me. It starts 4pm as I confirmed with Danny Breen the organizer in the week...

I thought you'd eaten 3 toffes aswell Trainings looking good and im sure there are changes that you can't see yet.
Just sent you an email i think?

Hi Flick - well done - stcking to your diet well! -

Have upped my Glutamine to 1000mg a day instead of 500mg still struggling to combat hunger issues... Damned cardio upping!

Oh and it's my fave time of teh month I'm now happ as I'm sure it explains the little extra weight I was carrying on Saturday.
I'm off to Lisbon tomorrow for 4 days for work so will keep you updated at the weekend!

Enjoy Lisbon!

What do you use the glutamine for? And why have you increased it?

Glutamine is muscle sparing, or meant to be lol!

Some people take up to 1500mg a day, I was only on 500mg and it wasn't a very good formula either so I switched over to purer stuff in a powder form which means only a tsp is 1000mg straight away. Shouldn't do me any harm and because I keep waking up starving in the mornings I'm worried about what's happening to my system while I sleep. Some bb'ers take it if they wake up in the night for this reason

These were taken today, thanks Trudy for the bikini, I'm in love! Can I wash or sponge clean it?

Overall the posing needs practice but I was in a hurry! Forgot the Ab pose but think you can just about see them coming through? Am much happier with my legs, and my back development is coming out nicely. Did quick Shoulder and Tri workout this morning and I'm off to Lisbon in a few hours!

Any feedback anyone?

Looking fab there and making me realise just how far I've yet to go.

You're right about the leaning, try putting your leg to the side rather than in front. You need to work on the lat spread still, you must have your shoulders blades out.

I think with the time you have left you're going to be amazing (not that you already aren't). You do seem to have the same problem as Zara though with the legs being the last to come through but the quads are certainly saying hello

I remember Truds in that bikini, it looks stunning

Wow you have abs! Me and hubby have just had a look and we both reckon you look fantasic!!! Quads have come through nicley too and your back has made my husband jelousI've just got back from the gym, still in my gym gear and i've been practising poses...we all gotta start some-where!
Guess you are smiling cause your pretty pleased with yourself...and you should be
What catergory are you competing in hun?

Nice work Flick - definite drop in bodyfat and your abs are coming through. I'm loving your back and delts too, great progress.

Can't add much, Kitty knows much better re posing but I do agree you're looking great.

Really well done bird!

I cant stress how quickly the photos were taken as batteries on digital camera were running low!!

Thanks for the positive comments and tips ladies. Iºd just got in from workout, had half an hour before I left for the airport and my bikini arrived and ofcourse I just had to try it on!

I agree the Lat spread needs work and will try bicep pose with leg to the side althoiugh I think itºs harder to see the Quad sweep then...

All in all Im happy, had an ok eating day y.day, will post all at end of the week. This mornnig though I pondered between:

Museli or bran flakes as teh lesser of two evils? What do you think guys?

Had a quick Quad workout this morning plus ten mins cardio, then going to do Hammies tonight with more cardio. I love Lisbon!!! Just on a break so off for a quick ciggie see you ladies soon! Keep up the comments and know that Im still watching all your journals even though I havent time to post in them....

Ate crap last night... Got to lunch today and there was virtually nothing I could have, it was just a frigging carb fest... Im really gettingpeed off out here becuse I could realy see the difference in my pics and now Im stuck int eh middle of nowhere at a sodding conference where I cant get any normal no sauced food!!!! ARGGHHHH!

My only solance is that at least I havent given in to desserts yet... Home tomorrow, am loving the life here but cant wait to get back to training and not feeling bloated. Its a constant guilt trip here. Please someone make me feel better...

First of all huge well done for not giving in to desserts. It's hard enough being at confrences, work trips etc with a shortage of choice so honestly you're doing great.

Good of you to take the time to continue the updates too whilst you're away.

Just don't be too hard on yourself. There is only so much choice you have whilst away and you're sticking with it. You know it's gonna be worth it chick x
