It's really happening!!
I can't believe im not just going to watch this event, im going to be in it lol. And im sooo excited about it now. Also knowing that Alicia, Liz, Maraina and Josh will be competing on the day is a bonus. Another big bonus for me Andj, she will be helping me out sooo much. Thank you Andj 
.
Josh was at the gym this morning and I have to say he is looking fantasic!! It will be so cool to see him compete. Keep training hard Boss!!
7 weeks and 1 day remaining. Where am I at? Ok, here is a quick run down.
Posing - needs practice, but I have improved alot in the past weeks. The pose I need to work on the most is ab and thigh. Im most confident with side chest pose at this stage. Everything else is in between.
Posing routine - I now have this completely memorised and learned. I feel really good about it and love the routine and music. I don't have any problems here at all. It's just what happens when Im on stage that worries me lol.
Training is going really well considering I am on a reduced calorie intake and I have increased my cardio. I was happy I did a PB on lunges today, I didn't even realize until I was typing my progress up to send to JD. My mind is all over the place these days.
Cardio was going really stronge until this week. I am finding it harder and harder to get started, but once i get going I completely hammer it. It's just getting on that piece of cardio equipment to start with that is causing me to have mental issues with myself lol. One part of me says "get on and burn some calories" and the other side says "im just too tired today". Grrrr. I didn't have this problem before this week, it must be catching up with me.
Food - whats that? Just kidding. I must say I have reprogrammed myself. Since 16 weeks out I have learnt alot about what to eat and when to eat it. I guess now I have it down to a fine art. Eat for fuel and only the amount your body needs. So I am really keeping in tune with what my body is telling me. If im really, really hungry and it's meal time, I eat a small portion and resist the usrge to eat anymore until this portion hits my stomach. Once it's there (I wait at least 30mins), I dont feel hungry anymore and I haven't eaten extra calories. Just need to be patiant.
Im sleeping and getting enough rest aswell which is vital to muscle repair and growth.
Ok, that about sums it up until next week. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
Very true about the waiting till it hits your stomach part. It's like that when you are really hungry you just want to gobble it all up but if you wait 20 mins then eat more if you are still hungry it makes so much more sense!

Hey Deb. Thanks for your comment too. I'm not sure about my foot. Had scans and x-rays on Tuesday but they were all clear. Still have the pain though. Weird and very frustrating!

This was just so exciting for me to read!! I can't believe it's nearly here for you... WOO HOO!!
It was funny you wrote that about the standard of the girls from last years comps. I remember reading on a blog a little while ago that someone had said the overall standard of the figure girls was down on previous years. I think that one thing is for sure... it is getting very competitive and the standard of the figure girls is outstanding all round!!
And I have to agree with you on Lucy... and she's an absolute darling to go with it... she is shy but so lovely :o)
Lia did look awesome didn't she? Can't wait to see her improvements this year!!
Catch up with you soon hon... xxx
