Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger...

[Flamer]

Have to agree with BG on this Poos. I never thought I would be "in shape" for Auck Champs - but in the last two weeks it all fell into place. You've set the date - now go for gold!!!

[biggurl27]

YAY sounds good to me, keep up the good work!!

[teamfatboy]

I'm worried 'cos I had a fat test done and the results were worse than when I got it done 2 weeks ago! Just felt like I was spinning my wheels :evil:

Was talking to BF about it (he said to do what my heart tells me to ...I should've said it wants me to be single ) But I'm gonna continue prep as if I'm doing CNIs.. then will see how things are looking when I get closer :grin:

A wise person (with a Mr Grumpy avatar!) told me about all the mindfarks that go on in this game - and this is just one of those... the bf test could have been down to any number of things including stress.....

Carry on training hard, and like BG and Flamer said, I feel sure you'll be surprised... besides, if you ease off now, you'd just be making it harder even if you did switch to the Nabba North Harbour show. Go hard, P&W, and you'll be great!

[poos_n_wees]

Thanks guys!

Flamer, thats so reassuring :nod:

Nutritionist has told me to stop getting BF tests done lol. And TFB you're so right.. here I am telling people to stop worrying about numbers, then I go all and on my BF tests .

Right, back to b'nizz now 8)

And I keep posting in it reminding you too :naughty:

I love this smiley \:D/ cracks me up.

I read back in your journal a little... what's the ON Rocky Road like? Is it just like a regular chocolate or what? What's your posing song?

[poos_n_wees]

And I keep posting in it reminding you too :naughty:

what's the ON Rocky Road like? Is it just like a regular chocolate or what? What's your posing song?

The Rocky Road's OK.. doesn't taste that chocolatey at all, for some reason it tastes more orangey

Next time I'm just gonna get chocolate or vanilla 'cos I always seem to get disappointed when I try new flavours.

Posing song's a slow R&B Island song ! I needz the extra time to hit my poses lol. Have you sussed out your routine yet?

[Sportsgirl]

Oohh, well, I don't really like plain chocolate so maybe I'll like it. I had a bad experience with Chocolate PP when I first started using it.... I ended up throwing half the stuff away in the end

Posing song's a slow R&B Island song ! I needz the extra time to hit my poses lol. Have you sussed out your routine yet?

Most of it I'd say. I usually make up my routine in my head while I'm doing cardio then go practice it later! I prefer slower songs too... don't wanna be all unco up there Plus I like to think I'm graceful :pfft: \:D/

Thanks :oops: I'm really enjoying it too!! We are probably moving back home in the near future... not too sure when. Might be next year, might be the year after... not sure. So if I still want to compete then, probably!

Hey who's doing your bikini? I used that lady down in Chch and I'm thrilled with mine!

Oh yeah, I'm back in Rewa for a week from around 13th-20th Oct so we have to meet up finally for a workout!

[poos_n_wees]

Oohh.. who's that? I remember reading in your journo that she's really fast with delivery? Did you buy your own material and send it to her? Or is she doing the whole shebang? I have no idea with this part of the prep :oops:

I was thinking of asking Ali Gasgoine... She's the only one I know of. I'm pretty keen to shop around though :nod:
