Well, you did post 'teats'. It was a nice way to start my sunday. made me think of these lines from Meet the Parents:

I milked a cat once. You wanna hear a story? Sure.

My sister had a cat, and the cat birthed a litter of kittens.

Must've been of them, and there was this one little runt...

this little sweet little... little-engine-that-could runt...

who wanted to get up there and couldn't really get access to the-- to the--

to the-- to the-- to the teat.

Teat?

Dad. What have you.

I went in and just simply, you know, just--

into a little saucer,

then took the saucer and fed it to Geppetto-- that's what I named him.

I had-- I had no idea you could milk a cat.

Oh, yeah, you can milk anything with nipples.

I have nipples, Greg. Could you milk me?

correction is made, now you can get your head out of the rubbish bin.

I liked this thread better when we were talking about teats.

But in answer. I would rather do more cardio and eat something nice. Within three weeks of a show however, I would show some discipline and just not eat it. If I opened the flood gates, so to speak, it would be all on.

If I opened the flood gates, so to speak, it would be all on.

lol, out of control u reckon

Yeah, I totally agree with Waldo on this. It all depends on how strict you need to be and why. If you are preparing for a comp, it can be a good idea to keep a few treats in your diet and reduce them gradually week by week until perhaps 4-5 weeks out. It also depends on what treats you are having and what effect they have on your body.

For my first comp I was totally strict for the final 12 weeks as I decided the idea of battling with myself mentally over how many treats I could have, what type of treat, and how often, would do my head in. It was much easier to just say "No treats at all" to remove the guess work - mind you I lost 22kg in those 12 weeks, so there was no room for anything other that strict dieting for that first show!!

If you had read any of my previous threads you would know I would much rather go for the treats and do extra cardio to make up for it.

I have had some rather extreme treat days lately but I will be on stage next Saturday at North Harbours none the less...

[Paul]

Judging ny your photos last time you could get away with it .Alot of people myself included arent as umm let say well perpared.So treats are not really an option.

[virgo1978]

Thanks, well I guess we will see next weekend!

[KooKoo]

No way - I hate hate hate cardio. I'd rather be really strict with my diet. I'm an all or nothing kinda chick though - I can easily abstain totally, but if I start, it's all over!!! Moderatation? What's that?! :wink:
