I noes! My discipline was broken last night :pfft: Sooo worth it though!

Thanks Flamer! And cheers for the reassurance BG

cardio is no fun is it? :grin:

Noo. Especially when you don't wanna do it lol. Mind you, it hasn't been that bad lately.. its just the anticipation of it that sucks. Once the first couple of minutes go past, its sweet :grin:

Beautiful day today! It finally feels like spring

Energy went downhill after the gym. Am soooo sososo tired. Every time I sit still for long periods of time I start getting all droopy and sleepy.. driving to and from work was a mission in itself

Hunger wasn't too bad today. Just found out that 5 other people from the gym are doing the comp I'm doing, and its made me feel loadddsss better. Just knowing that there are others around me aiming for the same date, going through the same struggles.. helps with the venting lol.

Pooey,

from earlier discussion,

my nutrionist does the same as you in regards to counting macro totals, i.e. every source counts.

He said when your bulking it makes sense to ignore the additions from the lower B.V. sources but when cutting you wanna be anal about everything and no reason to not count the proteins or fats or carbs in a item that doesnt have a lot of them.

POOS! wats happened to yeuw....

Yay I'm not crazy!

POOS! wats happened to yeuw...

Away on holiday + comp prep = no worky :oops:

Its only about 6 weeks out from the North Shore gig, so don't think I have enough time to reverse the damage I've done. Walked into the gym yesterday and one of the PTs looked me up and down and was like "uhhh.. Aren't you supposed to be competing soon?" Bastard!

So it looks like I'll be sitting in the audience for the NABBA show, which is cool with me. On the flip side, I didn't look like a whale on the beach - and my muskels and veinage are still visible, still pretty lean.. which I'm gonna try to maintain at \:D/

Got my bikini from Ali too, and HELLO its like OMFGZZ BEAUTIFUL. She's a genius!! I'm gonna save it for the next time I get the brilliant upon brilliant idea to compete.. whenever that is. And when that time comes, I'm just gonna keep my big trap shut and do it without telling anyone LOL.

But am back into training, still wanna get effing strong at the gym, and am slowly getting back into bball/athletics training which I've MISSED so baaaad. I wanna get back the mindset that I'm going to the gym because I love to lift as opposed to losing fat.. which was my focus for the last oohhhhhh YEAR? Ugh.

Think I'll continue with this journal though, 'cos am always looking for more ideas and constructive criticism with regards to training/nutrition Thanks to those that supported me during the comp prep stuff too. I love you all lol.

[biggurl27]

Yay welcome back Poos! Missed ya

[teamfatboy]

:ditto: :jive:

Great to see u back, shame u won't be competing - but at least there's the NZBB Challenge :grin:

After seeing all the cookies being discussed I decided to get some myself today. Turns out they don't do 3 for $2 any more. But I only had $2 cash so they gave them to me anyway. M&Ms flavour, nom nom nom.

[biggurl27]

I wonder if I could eat 12 :-s

[poos_n_wees]

Carb envy

But yer right.. my protein intake's broken at the moment :?

M&Ms flavour, nom nom nom.

I love the macadamia/white choc and M&Ms ones.. especially when they're all melty and drippy like :nod: Even those oat/sultana ones were surprisingly nice. The brownies are kinda chewy.. not sure how I feel about those yet :think:

LOLZ! Go the pity cookies

There was this one time I was trying to use all my coins to pay for some stuff at the supermarket rather than my cashflow card, and when I had counted all the schrapnel out on the counter, realised I was like $0.60c short... when I looked up the checkout operator was all and said she'd pay the extra for me! I was all then realised that 'cos I'd just finished training and cardio.. I must've looked vusty as, and a little bit mental LOL.

I ended up paying with my card though.. its funny now that I look back on it. I'm in a sharing mood, so thought I'd share that with everyone lol.

I wonder if I could eat 12 :-s

Sounds like a challenge for after the comp! :twisted:
