6 weeks out !!!

Getting closer each week and changes all over.  My diet this week consists of:


  • Baked Eggs
  • Egg whites with Avocado
  • Fish and Avocado
  • 2 meals of Fish and Brocoli
  • Egg whites with Cinnamon & Splenda (have to have a bit of sweetness to stay sain :P)
Every morning I wake up and take my supplements needed on an empty stomach before I go for my walk in the city of Nicosia.  All days except for today as I felt I needed Sunday off.  My body is begging for a rest.  You ,must always listen to your body.
I train weights 6 days a week although Im not happy with the energy of the gym Ive been training these last 2 months Im moving to a new gym a little further from my home, but if its got the energy to train then Im happy to drive 10 mins further.
I also do a second cardio session before my last meal for the 5 days.  Depending how I feel I go for 40-60 mins.  Its additional cardio, I put the girls to bed and then I go off.  It feels good to be able to do that additional extra little bit when you could have been sitting at home watching tv sipping on a frappe or a heinekan.  I rather burn calories! :)
I will continue this plan for this week and will reassess if I need to change things up next week if I havent made the losses I want.
Lets hope I get my routine sorted this week aswell as my bikini sent to me.  Such a hassle living on an island that doesnt offer these services and having to wait for International postage etc.  Even though I wouldnt change Jo for anybody.  For all you comp prep, www.styleonstage.com.au is the place you should be looking at.
I have seen amazing changes in my body this week, although it has left me very tired today, I cant even drive to go the beach or pool with the kids.  Im actually really drained.  I will be spending this time with the family and go for my cardio later on this evening.  I really need to rest.
My supplements have all changed, I will no longer be taking any of the previous supplements I have been posting.  I will do a full blog on my supplements at the moment later on today when the girls have a nap :)
I have some great news to share also that I did post on my wall... Bet youre dying to hear what it is :P
Quick update and please leave a comment, would love to know what you think...

Could you believe that I made a mistake on......

     As I sit here on this beautiful Sunday morning, while everybody is either sleeping in or heading to the beach or having a BBQ or whatever you usually do, Im sitting here rewriting and recalculating my whole plan as I got the dates wrong. Where I thought we were 12 weeks out, Im actually 9 weeks out. :/  Dont even ask how I made such a mistake and while I was at the beach yesterday with the girls I accidently found out while talking to a friend on the phone... Dam girl, thats 3 weeks, thats 3kgs, that could lose the game!

     So What do I do now?  Quit?  Could this be a sign?  First, my usual diet makes me gain weight instead of lose and now I get the dates wrong.  I feel frustrated, I feel stupid, and I feel I may not make it.....
Hold on, I may not make it.... So there is a chance I do make it?  If I change it up again and increase my cardio and lower my calories, a bit of bing abit of bang.... I could make it... But isnt quitting easier, and saying I wont make it rather than working my butt off and accomplishing my goal to get on stage and bring out the best package I can....:)
           WINNERS DONT QUIT AND CHAMPIONS DONT SETTLE FOR 2ND BEST! :)
Now we're talking.... ;)
     So whats the plan?  Firstly, no more cheats.  Secondly, morning & evening cardio, thirdly, 6 days weights and fourthly, change my protein sources to more quality protein and cycle my fats.  Yes thats the plan.  I was stressing out yesterday, but it didnt even cross my mind to quit.  We work things around it, jump over the blocks and grab our goals.  Now Im gonna really work hard so I may not have too much time 2 partee with da gangsters or chill but its all gonna be worth it in the end...I got you reading my blog and keeping updated on my FB page, and I cant let anyone down now, especially myself and my girls.... Girls are excited!
     Time for a game of basketball with the girls down the park.... They love shooting hoops, extra cardio and a great leg workout for me & combined family time! ;)

TRAIN HARD - EAT CLEAN - KEEP SMILING :)
