rollesbygirl Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I am into day three of my diet for first comp next year,still dont have a confirmed date but should be April.Not feeling too bad but just come home from walk and about to hit the gym and thought I wonder if anybody else is this nutty to be doing this now. A few people I know said they would rather do it in the New Year but is there ever a time when you wont be giving something up?Biggest challenge this week will be my work function :shock: :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamfatboy Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yep...on a diet thru jan But hey, it's better than blowing out...I think the run-up to Xmas is harder than afterwards - last week was party-central, and if I ever see another sausage roll it'll be too soon Good luckTFB(and what was I doing in the ladies' room? I take good advice wherever I find it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamer Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Can't say I've actually started dieting...but I have started to 'clean up' the diet a little. The step before diet to mentally prepare. Food isn't really the problem I have.......it's all the booze!Seems I'm more than happy to drink when the boss is payin!

KooKoo Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'm with you Flamer - I can eat pretty clean without too much trouble... Have been really good with alcohol until about a week ago. Actually it started with the Movember gala party and all good intentions aside, I've been drinking wayyyy too much :shock: So hard to say no to free booze though!!

Sheta Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Im eating clean - will have a day off on Chrissy day and then New Years Day.Ive had a few cheats over the past couple of weeks; work function and a celebration or two. I hate the feeling afterwards. My bod feels sluggish and bloated when its not fueled properly.Am currently on a 2 week detox up till Sat 22nd - trying the Xenadrine Detox, so far so good!!

rollesbygirl Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Well sounds like everybody is much the same. I was eating pretty clean in preparation for the last year or two with not much cheating and thought the contest diet would be a slight variation from that - so wrong could I be..... when I saw the diet in print I spent the next three days eating and drinking everything like it was the last supper.Teamfatboy - dont worry we venture in the boys rooms too, agreed you might find something interestingFlamer and KooKoo - agreed I will miss the kahlua and diet coke on holiday this year, sipping water aint the same on the gold coast, theres a reason water isnt cheaper duty free eh?Sheta - I bet you are at the worst end - adjusting to non contest bod, I am at the excited stage I think of each morning I wake up feeling a step closer to that final result especially for the first time.I have done okay today with the diet, although working in a job where you are in and out is a challenge with strictly timed regular eating so took my chiller bag in the car - quite nice eating on the side of the road hehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollesbygirl Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Just realised why I feel tired, that last post was a whole twelve hours since the first one and I have only just finished work - egad! now the home stuff - do you girls find that hard also, juggling jobs, families and the extra cardio before and after......

Work, study, keeping the family happy and managing to train aswell. I find cooking my meals a day or two ahead keeps me in check, bugger spending all the time in the kitchen!Agree the cooler bag - I couldnt live without mine and a few slicker packs!

Sheta Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I also cant handle tinned fish so cooking ahead is a huge must. Lots of boiled eggs (minus yolks) and chicken for me.Being able to eat tuna or salmon must make things a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterTel Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Being able to eat tuna or salmon must make things a lot easier.Yep - I'm one of those lucky ones that doesn't get sick of tinned tuna and salmon. I have a drawer full at work, along with tins of asparagus and beans and sachets of Uncle Ben's 2 min rice. Plus oatmeal, protein power etc.I tend to eat this sort of food year round, but with plenty of treats in the off season. I find it funny when people at work comment on me eating a meal of tuna, rice and asparagus for morning tea and they say "oh, but if your last comp was a month ago, why aren't you eating REAL food now?!" :?

Monty Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 You gals are soooo good! I have had a month of treats and now am cleaning myself up food-wise. I have been starting to feel sluggish and really tired and I reckon it's all the extra sugar. Clean eating today and I feel heaps better for it. I just need to look at my comp photos and realise that in all honesty, I can look more like that year round rather than how I'm looking now. Bikinis are beckoning and it is hard convincing people you do Figure (body-sculpting to them) classes when you have tummy rolls again instead of tummy wrinkles!!

Evie Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Looking good KooKoo. Great outfit. Hey welcome Monty, long time no talk. I'm in the same boat as you, too much sugar after the comp, so doing a much needed detox! Feel better for it. As for dieting over Christmas, not so much... just the basics: keeping in good clean food with a relaxed attitude when it comes to having a few treats over the holiday season. Still training hard - great to lift heavy when not on resticked diet. Last year I was the only 1 of my work mates who lost weight over the holidays. :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamer Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hey chikky, been meaning to ask how you got on. If you stuck to it your a freakin legend!!! I "cleaned" up my diet, with multiple slips, but still managed a 2kg drop So, essentially, it all starts now. Back to work and back to routine. Are you aiming for a particular comp?

rollesbygirl Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Good on you for a drop - thats pretty nice work! Yes I managed to stay 100%, it was a challenge at times, we were holidaying in Aus for two weeks with teenagers so you name it, the temptation was in front of me, but a very good friend of mine has a nice philosphy "think of yourself half naked in front of all those people and then ask yourself "is it really worth the cheat" and by some miracle I have kept to the plan. It does give you a huge sense of power over your own body and mind have to say.I am planning to do the Christchurch Classic in April, first show omg!! so to date have lost 5.8 kgs, have been doing some odd things mind you, such as baking furiously all of my favorites, then forcing family to eat it all - apparently thats quite normal - ????

Manu Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Well done girls!! I admire your dedication. Oh yeah, baking heaps and then getting everyone else to eat it was exactly what I did too, thought I was weird or something, least I know I'm not alone :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evie Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 have been doing some odd things mind you, such as baking furiously all of my favorites, then forcing family to eat it all - apparently thats quite normal - ????Oh yeah it's 'normal'! I was doing that for my work mates during my first comp prep, 2nd time I really couldn't be bothered, plus didn't want to waste money cooking things I couldn't eat - much rather spend it on Chicken and veg! Of course the FOOD NETWORK was always on TV at home :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KooKoo Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Jeez, good on you girls for being so committed at such a crazy time! As for baking and cooking for everyone else - hell no - far too dangerous!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
