Thanks Kitty. Hard to keep 'under-cover' when you're on your hols, even if it is only a short break. I thought I did pretty well on the whole tbh, if I wan't such a fussy sod generally about food, he'd have rumbled me ages ago!! lol
Feel good about sticking with it easily albeit with a meal I knew I'd be having - hadn't imagined I'd get something as clean as I did though, so pretty darn pleased on that front too, good job I did the ordering out of hearing range though!!

If any of you haven't lost the will to live whilst reading my update - I'll buy you a drink alcoholic or otherwise if we ever get chance to meet up!! lol
Triple Vodka and Red Bull in 11 weeks time please 
Cheeky git!! lol! If I get on that stage I'll need the 3 vodkas, don't know about you!lol!!
The fact you've been reading my novels qualifies you for at least 1 drink I'd say!! 
How's your diet going now that you've started after your Easter chocs? Can't believe it's 11 weeks this Sunday - Holy C**p!! I'm not laughing!!!
Yes good, loving my brocolli 
11 weeks will soon be 1

Training update!!
Shoulders & Calves tonight:
DB Press x 5 (Includes 1 warm up)
15 x 7.5kg dbs
12 x 10, 12.5, 15 kg dbs
6 x 17.5 kg dbs - bit miffed, no-one around that I knew enough to ask for a spot tonight, so dropped to 12.5's for 4 reps!!
Lat Raise x 3
12 x 7.5kgs
12 x 10kgs x 2 sets
Cable Lat Raise (New Machine, must check the weights on the stack, think it was 9kg though?!) x 3 sets x 12
Calves x 5 (Standing m/ch)
15 x 60, 90, 105, 112.5 x 2 (Don't know what hurt the most, my shoulders from the pads or my calves!!  Good though!!)
That was it - done!! Still feels weird not doing 45mins cardio after my weights! I'm enjoying it though, means I've got more to throw at the weights!! 
Diet has been as it should be today too. Really hoping I've lost a bit this week .
Got a few comments tonight from a couple of people that were really positive, one thought I'd gotten much leaner in the last 10 days or so as we've not seen each other around- so that's pretty fab!! Got my fingers crossed!

Lying Tricep Ext x 3:

Anyway - by that time my arms were absolutely shattered as usual - but I love it!! lol , I am sooo sad!!
Diet was as per plan just varied chicken/fish today, had salmon & salad for lunch, mackerel and loads of veggies for dinner tonight, smoothies in between and breakfast as normal too!! Going pretty well at the minute if I'm honest, although I've had one of those I feel fat and look crap days so don't know what that was all about!? Still, I'm guessing it was just a 'fat' day! . I'll be fine tomorrow!

Hiya Chrissie! Good to see you're back, hope you had a fab time! - Thanks for the offer of support (yet more support! lol).. Believe me, I'll be shouting loud and clear when things get tough!! The more shoulders to lean, cry, sweat and swear on the better!! pmsl!
Have booked my first massage for a week Saturday - OMG!! I'm going to be sooo nervous! (I'm such a wimp!). Don't know how or if I'll be fit for driving home - still, I may be able to pop into my Dads on the way home with any luck! Although I'm a bit anxious I'm really looking forward to it! he,he!
OK then - diet same as usual, going well on the whole. Weighed 'n' measured myself and I've got say I'm not convinced this time. I've lost about 1/2lb and although I've had loads of comments saying that I'm looking tighter/leaner I really don't know today! Bum! .
I'm going to email James in a min to see what he thinks I ought to do!! I'll let you all know!
Training - legs today!! (I like legs day - I am nuts aren't I?! lol)
Squats x 4
12 x 30kgs, 50kgs, 60kgs x 2
DBs SLDL x 3
12 x 27.5kgs, 30kgs & 32.5kgs (Yay me! Haven't done the 32s before - be like a cripple tomorrow!)
Lunges (DBs) x 3
12 x 12.5kgs, 15kgs
10 x 15kgs
Lying Leg Curl x 3
12 x 30 x 2, 10 x 35 dropped to 4 x 30
Superset with
Leg Extensions x 3
15 x 6 plates on stack
That's it as both leg presses were being used (Mondays are so busy! )

I know it's going to get pretty hard to hide it in a few more weeks I guess, have to as far as I can though unfortunately! That's why I'm going to be leaning on you guys to keep me going!! - last year I dropped out of doing any shows because things were so difficult and it is purely bacause he doesn't understand the sport (I think?! ). This year it's not an option!! lol.
Sure we will help and support as much as possible. Can't advice how to handle your hubbie but have a shoulder to offer

Hiya everyone - been having trouble with the old tinternet for last couple of days, keeps bloomin' crashing .
Anyway - the latest update! Have booked my first massage as per James' recommendation for a week on Saturday (oooh!! Scary painful stuff!! lol). I've also been having a good time of things diet wise, love my veggies and it's a darn good job, hubby keeps looking at my plate and pulling faces - I do the same when I look at his, so can't complain, it's quite amusing really!! .
Training this for yesterday and today - about to write another epic!!
Tuesday - Chest & Abs
Incline press x 4
15 x 10kgs DBs (Warm up)
12 x 12.5kgs, 15kgs DBs
10 x 17.5kgs DBs
Incline flyes x 3

DB Pullover x 3
12 x 22.5kgs DB
Abs:
Crunch superset with Reverse Crunch x 4 sets x 20 (Ouch!!)
Didn't feel too bad overall - unfortunately the new cable machine contraption thingy isn't wide enough to do cable cross overs so I'm going to have to try them one side at a time next week when there's less people hogging it!
Today then - Back & Calves
Seated row x 4
12 x 6, 8, 9 x 2 (plates on stack = 10kg!? Plain daft!)
Single arm row x 3 (With DB)
12 x 27.5, 30 & 10 x 32.5kgs
Straight arm pulldown x 3
15 x 3 plates on stack
Standing calf raise m/ch x 4

Donkey calf raise m/ch x 2
15 x 12 plates on stack x 2
A bit knackered after that lot today - feels soooo good though!! he,he! . I'm easily pleased aren't I eh?! lol
Hope you're all ok btw!

Nikkie - it would give you a good laugh if nothing else!
Am going to do NABBA for the experience really, I know darn well I will not be at my leanest by then however, I can get some stage practice and see what needs to be done on my posing and routine! The BNBF qualifier after that will be the one I aim to be in my best shape for! Then I will just follow the comps around the British Isles! Am bound to get some kind of prize just for my tenacity and sheer bloody mindedness if nothing else!!!
Hows things your end with regard the fripperies like routines and tanning?!?!?!

Chrissie - I'm sure you'll do far better than you're saying you will!! Fair play to you for wanting to keep going - can't say I blame you (I have even started thinking about next year and I haven't done a single comp yet and I've got 10 and 17 weeks left!! pmsl! Daft bugger eh?!).
In terms of routine, I think I've chosen my music as I've managed to cobble roughly half a routine together, there's just a little bit that I keep getting stuck on as there's a few 'moves' I've tried and can't decide which flows(ish) best! I'll get there!! As for tanning, I had a volunteer, think I've got to get another as they've gone a bit quiet - still, like I say, got 10 weeks to convince them to do it for, or I'll bribe someone else!! lol.
How about you? I'll ask you in your journal in a minute!!
OK then, in terms of training etc, I was a bit quiet yesterday as we had the funeral to deal with, so a bit of a rough day, I'm glad to say that Bri did better with it than I thought and I'm relieved now that it's done as he can start and get himself sorted out with it all, bless him!
Thursday - diet, on track (boring aren't I! ), training - CV only day, so managed 70mins pre-brekkie, then 60mins in the early evening so I was quite pleased on the whole considering the day!
Today - 65mins pre-brekkie (I'm trying to alternate days between 70 and 65 mins to get some of my thigh meatiness to disappear! ). Meals all as they should be, plenty of veggies and my chicken 'n' rice as stipulated!!
Tonight I planned to do shoulders and calves, but I trained calves Wednesday and they're still a bit tight, so I'll do them tomorrow instead!!
Shoulders -
DB Press x 4
12 x 10, 12.5 & 15kgs
7 x 17.5kgs (Really want to get to 10 on this one - if it kills me (probably will!!))
Lat Raise (DBs) x 3
12 x 7.5kg
12 x 10kg x 2
DB Bent over Lat Raise x 3
15 x 7.5kgs
12 x 7.5kgs
12 x 10kgs
Cable Lat Raises x 3
12 x 9kg on stack (new machine thingy!)
That was it - shoulders pooped, felt good albeit I cheated by not doing calves - I'll make up for it though - promise!!
My new bikini should have arrived today, but we missed delivery so now I have to wait until Monday!! . I was hoping Bri would be working from home and would be able to sign for it, then I could have a little try of it with my shoes at my Mums on Sunday and get her to take a couple of piccies to scare myself with!!! Never mind - have to do it next weekend instead!
