Countdown to next comp

[biggurl27]

Yes - I reckon a bit of cardio equipment for the home will make a huge difference. Are you currently having to go to the gym 2x a day at do everything at present? Glad the job is going okay and you are back on track, and getting into a routine. My hat goes off to you for holding all these things together in your life (including kids!). Was wondering are you having any veges with your lunch other that potato? Also - any other oils other than the PB at breakfast? Hunger and energy levels okay at the moment?

I have my kids alternate weeks, when I have them gym at lunchtime, hence need for something at home. Getting a skipping rope in the interime tomorrow, looking to get bike soon. Nup TFB don't have a normal bike, hmm except a Pink Polly Pocket bike but that is my 5 year olds haha.. Week I don't have my girls I hit the gym 2-3 times per day.

No vegies at lunch and I have a bit of olive oil with my tuna, suppose to sling flaxseed oil in it but man that stuff is a rip off! CLA and evening primrose are oil based so have those too. Never hungry at the mo so all good. My potato is loaded haha like a gun!! 1st day 100gm, 2nd day 200gm, 3rd day 300gm, today is 300gm day, which is too much but I eat it.

[biggurl27]

Its a good set up, kids get to spend time with both parents week on week off, get the best of both worlds. Cheeky Ngapuhistrong don't quite know what you mean from that, you and 2guns are just as nuts as each other.

20 mins skipping after kids went to bed and before desperate housewives - not as fun as it looks :shock:

[Kiwi]

20 mins skipping - I can imagine that ain't fun. But did you manage to find a place to do it okay where your ceilings were high enough? or did you go outside and do it in the dark !

Good luck with the kids! BTW - What do they all think of their mum competing? any interesting responses?

I am enjoying your diary.You sound really focused and positive - you have a great mindset. Hope your day was another good one.

[biggurl27]

haha nar skipping ropes set correctly should be not much more than the actual height of the person, so me being 5'5 I'm not going to have any trouble with hitting my ceiling, made a bit of a racket jumping up and down in the lounge watching telly, bit of fun!

My children are only 2 and 5 years old so think my pictures of past competitions are cool and know I go to the gym a lot but don't really understand the concept. I have told them Mummy will get painted brown and they will get to watch me show off my muscles soon on stage in a bikini.

Just trained legs, will pop on later this evening after I have had all my meals and possibly do some lunges later and a skip in the lounge again

Nice one! 8)

Chins/pullups are weird exercises in that I think alot of it is psychological. I did assisted pullups for AGES, then one day I was like fcuk it, tried it unassisted.. and really surprised myself.

I've recently started buying the chopchop chicken too (the stuff in the can aye?) its not too bad!

Yep, being able to do unassisted chins is a great feeling... when you get there :oops: Well done BG :clap:

[biggurl27]

Yep chin ups are great, takes a while to get them right, hopefully not too long :grin:

Yep the chop chop chicken in a can is all good, quite high in sodium so not so good close to comp.
