Nikkie - my spaghetti arms are only capable of pushing 4kg dbs on the incline bench pres - my son could do better! I feel like one of those ladies who use tins of baked beans to tone up their 'bingo wings'!
Shoes are still going strong - do actually wear v high heeled boots most of the time anyway so the transition to shoes is purely academic!!!!!
Do you think your husband will go mental if he finds out what you are doing Nikkie? I do understand that he is entitled to his own opinions however he can't force you not to compete, can he? Just makes me feel a bit uneasy reading about your devious lifestyle!!!

I think once he sees you in comp mode and realises you don't look like a 'monster' then he will relax on that front but the issue of him not liking you in public in a bikini is another issue. Don't even thinking about it at the moment, you have a lot to get through first and as long as he is 'supportive' on the eating front without knowing what you're doing then that's as much as you need right now. It's the ones who try and persuade you to have a pizza etc that are the evil doers

Nikkie, what Kitty says is true, as long as he is supportive of you right at this moment, then go with the flow!
He will surely be bowled over with lust and admiration when you do step out in your bikini and heels!
Secret Agent lifestyle could be your theme for the comps!!!!! Have you thought about a posing song yet??? Could do the James bond thing (I know it has been done before but hey, what hasn't!)

Nikkie - we all have a negative impression of the chap here. Like he's some kind of ogre, which I'm sure is not true. Although unsupportive of your wishes in competiting, he must have a lot of qualities, or he wouldn't be with you. Correct?
Does he like watching the strongman stuff on TV?
What does he think of male bodybuilding?

Meant to add that I would be less James bond and more James Blunt!!

HI Nikkie - I'm sure he is. It seems he can't appreciate that some people enjoy different things. What's the point of walking round a load of grass hitting a ball with a piece of iron every so often along the way? 
I was hoping he might like strongman, coz I was going to suggest dragging him to Dayo Audi's show in May where Mariusz is guesting. But guess that won't work!

Hiya - that's the main thing really that at the moment, he's kinda going with it and as long as that's ok, I'm happy and he's not upset which is ideal. Everything else will fall into place in due course I'm sure. Maybe after I've done the first comp that's local I can tell him about it all, show him some piccies etc and he may well be completely fine with it and just not want to come see for himself!? Either way, at this stage, I'm not overly worried!!  Got lots more time and tons more work to do, so I'll deal with that first!! 
Ooh - got a copy of the poster for the local show earlier that had been dropped off at the gym - got dead excited too!! (wanted to hop about clapping, but resisted and grinned lots whilst doing my next set!! he,he!)
Training tonight was back:
Seated Row
1 warm up set x 15 on 6 plates (on stack)
12 x 2 on 7 & 8
10 on 9
Single arm row
12 x 2: 27.5, 30kgs
10 x 1: 32.5kgs
Hammer Lat p'down
12 x 3 : 40kgs
Straight arm pulldowns
15 x 3 : 3 plates (on stack)
Few abs
How does that sound for a girlie back session?? I gotta say I do enjoy training back! There's not much I don't enjoy though TBH!!
Diet - exactly the same as yesterday - again, so far so good this week!! Got my everything crossed for more results on Sunday when I weigh 'n' measure!!

Exactly James!! I've said that one to him in my own defence before now!! lol. I think it was along the lines of why hit a little ball with little stick and spend hours walking round trying to find the darn thing!!? I think it's what's known as the 19th hole!! i.e. the clubhouse bar / lunch menu!!
Where's the stongman show at anyway James - I wouldn't mind seeing Mariusz in the flesh so to speak?!
Oh - thought I'd say whilst you're around that the diet's still going well and the training's fine too! Just hope it's doing what it should be, I'm trying not to look until the weekend! lol.
It's not a strongman show, it's a bodybuilding show - just with him guesting - details here
Keep going good

...We just have very different interests - he's a golfer and I do what I do! At least I always know what to buy as a stocking filler - lots of golf balls as he's not got a good handicap as yet (or can't be bothered to find them if they go into the rough parts!! lol
I guess if hubbie recognises your past-time as a viable sport he would have difficulties hanging dumbells in a stocking over the fireplace
Good going Nikkie, keep up the hard work. When you finally break the news to hubbie, maybe this info will help http://hardbodyfigure.com/Fig68.html

So, hubby is a golfer. Next time he nags you about your interests tell him that golfing is the best way to ruin a perfectly good walk

Hi Chrissie - yep! Decided on a song eventually! Didn't consider the James Bond thing though gotta be honest!! Took me ages to decide though, I kept changing my mind. I thought the earlier on I decide and then stop searching / downloading the better, at least I can not have a panic attack about that!! (One thing off the list of many!! lol).

Thanks James, I'll see what we're up to and might just get there if we're not busy. I'll be on my todd though probably unless some fromthe gym are taking a ride up - we'll see!
