Countdown to next comp

[poos_n_wees]

...Sometimes I feel like putting sugar in my coffee and I dont' even like sugar in my coffee!! I've gone mad

OMG, you're not alone! I have this urge sometimes for fecking milo with full fat milk and sugar.

1. I don't like milo

2. I don't like sugar

3. I haven't drank full fat milk in yearrrssss.

:crazy:

[biggurl27]

ha ha ditto I sniff my girls Milo and think mmm that smells nice haha

[Pseudonym]

Yeah not cool at all, I always eye up the Russian Fudge, thats pure sugar baby yeah haha Sometimes I feel like putting sugar in my coffee and I dont' even like sugar in my coffee!! I've gone mad

IMO, the trick is not to cut it out completely, but to only have it at "allowable" times. Post-workout, for instance, a bit of Russian Fudge could actually be beneficial. That helps stop the cravings.

Hmmm...that's not such good advice really Pseudo.

IMO Russian Fudge has no place in a competition diet...even post work out.

[Flamer]

Hey Big Girl - cheats keep sanity. I never feel bad, I just balance it out with a little more cardio. That extra (extra + extra) handful of nuts, those three potatoe chips, that macaroon - what ever. Eat it, love it, move on!

[Kiwi]

Some days I just need to eat something sweet real bad - it kinda takes over you like a form of desperation.... so I sure am guilty on that one.

I think I read somewhere about a top/Olympia/international Figure/Fitness competitor who rips into a dozen packets of artificial sweetner and just throws them (straight) into her mouth when she is like this.

Strategy-wise - For me - lately I have been putting a big spoonful of straight cooking cocoa (I buy the Nestle stuff in the tin from the cooking section of the grocery store), add a couple of sachets of Equal and hot water. It helps alot and has a few less carbs/cals and is less pricey than Jarrah etc. If I reach for that first then it buys me a bit of time and makes me think twice before reaching for something which could be even more wonderful in the moment but I would be sure to regret later....

[biggurl27]

Hmmm yeah I have one Jarrah hot choc each night. Have moments of madness (sugar cravings) now and then but usually they pass. I will just have to stick it out, have one treat per week. I don't want to look like arse on stage so, best I handle the jandal :grin:

[biggurl27]

AWESOME workout chick. Seriously, you're one strong wimmenz!

I'm sure you're putting on muscle while losing fat.. who cares about the stupid scales! And going to the Wairarapa should be good to clear your head for a bit - away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life :nod:

[Kiwi]

Yeah - those scales just get inside your head.

I guess you'll be in the 0/55 kg category, so at the end of the day the weight doesn't matter - just the look and it sounds like you're starting to really shape up. Like P&W says it may well be muscle as you have really cranked up your workouts. But I can appreciate that a body test would help reassure your mind.

Anyway - Have a good time away. You get those lawns nicely mown....and that will take care of a few kgs for sure.
