Miami for me in November

kitty


Morning cardio on canal path 40mins

Afternoon cardio on treadmill, full incline (15%) 4.8km/hr for 30mins followed by butt busters


Just a snippet of my diet from today

Porridge with propep
Chicken and veg
chicken, veg and rice
chicken and veg
turkey, veg and rice (switched to turkey now I've been shopping!!.....before you rollock me nine pack )
egg white (for supper)

Ahh, you know me too well I fear

All that bloody chicken I have in my freezer too from the Farmer market .....it's sat with all the haddock I got sick of

Rebound weight dropped another 2lbs over night!!!!!! Took over 3 weeks last time to drop the same level. Doms have really kicked in on legs now but not as bad as I expected....that is until hubbie decides to mess about and prod his finger in my quads

I know.  I have a ton of tilapia I probably won't eat too.

Want to swap for some haddock?

Erm...... I'm gonna say no but will negotiate on some cake

Maybe everyone should have swap meet of supplements and food stuffs that everyone is sick of - good luck Kitty.....

Got none of that there cake stuff in my house at the moment!!

Good idea Peagreen and thank you

I never saw the pics from the previous thread and its the first show I've missed for a few years (please don't say what a knob I am again, I know) so could not comment on how you looked.  Having just looked through them.......

I have to say this year, you were epic, you really looked like the winner and you looked awesome - onwards and upwards now.  I know its hard when you are going through it, however I am sure I speak for MT that we are all proud of you and you looked ace, if a little pink this year

Awh, thank you

I was just saying to hubbie that other than himself and the usual general competition supporters that shouted for me, I had no family nor local friends (other than Matt the gym manager) who came to support me and everytime I've had someone there I've looked poor IMO. I'm at my damned best and no buggas there ....good job I've got photographic evidence

You are now my screen saver!
And attracting quite a lot of attention in the office
You really have majorly inspired me, I feel quite emotional thinking about your winners post and your journey.
THANK YOU!

LOL, thanks Fi, that's put a smile on my face LOL!! I shall have to do a photo like Lou's latest one now that would get attention

*giggle* xx

Was well worth the trip to see your win!

turkey, veg and rice

just wondering kitty, now your a pro have your feelings towards traning/competing changed in anyway?

i mean in as much as, with your status, do you feel under more pressure to always look better than people who arent pro status, pressure to continue to compete or improve?  etc etc

or is it entirely business as usual, just a bit further afield?

Doms have really kicked in on legs now but not as bad as I expected....that is until hubbie decides to mess about and prod his finger in my quads

The BAHS (boyfriends and husbands ) are good are doing that aren't they! Jamie does things like that to me as well.. meanies!

LOL Welshy, yes, meanies

Dazc, at the moment I am so psyched up it's unreal. I was really psyched up for the finals and sort of had the attitude (which I didn't really post) that I was going to win and no one was going to stand in my way!! Publically I was saying just that I was my best and if I got beat then no one can take that away but I think had I been beaten I would have been a lot more upset than I was letting on!! I knew it was a reality that I could be beaten but I tried not to think about it.

I remember walking on stage (late due to bikini issue) and stood at the end of the line out of my numerical place and faced the audience with a front 'relaxed' stance with a sort of "here I am, get a load of this" sort of feeling in my head. To hear the gasps and comments being directed my way reassured me that I looked good and just helped me really focus on stage.

I've never really felt like that on stage as I've never been 100% happy with myself and it can affect your confidence. Reading this it seems so unlike me but it worked LOL!!

With all that in mind, I'm still raring to go for the next 5 weeks and although I am not expecting to win nor place I am happy to improve on last weekend and the target is to have ripped glutes ....and I don't mean a sexual advance towards Avril (aka ripped glutes) there . Last years new pro Annie placed 7th in a line up of 11, I'll be happy not to be last

I think no matter what level you're at you will always strive to improve, that is the main aim of this game really. Trophies are bonuses. I do feel more pressure now to stay closer to my comp weight, not only just because I now have pro status but I've spent the last 3 years fluctuating too much and all the CV can take it out of you. It would be nice to cruise into a comp without having to do 2 hours cardio a day for some weeks.

We now seem to have found a formula to get my condition better, I have a good shape so the main step going forward is more mass!!

i do the same thing to my girlfriend, its great fun!
 
its not so great when she gets her own back after i have been doing SLDL, or chest though . . .  :-(

great answer and post kitty, thanks for taking the time!  The confidence you had was showing through in the last few weeks, and for regular readers of your journal, it would have been pretty obvious just how much you wanted the procard, despite saying that you were happy that you had come in your best ever!

I know what you mean about the stage confidence,  in my show i knew i wasnt 100% dry, and my GF said it showed through in my routine and posing on the day, as i kind of shrunk into myself rather than standing tall, if that makes sense.  I didnt have a clue on the day i was doing so.  The head can have a huge effect!

My pleasure dazc. I think it was more pride than confidence to be honest LOL!! It's the first time I've really seen my abs and they didn't just come through in the last week. I just wanted to stand proud on that stage rather than half hearted or even over confident to the point of arrogance. Even when the girl who was my main rival was called out in second place I still thought it could have been one of the other girls as I'd not really looked at them, I found myself glancing along the line checking them out at the last minute LOL!!
