I can do it this time!!!!
I decided to continue my blog here because its easier to sneak on fast at work
So I dont know why but I'm having heaps of trouble eating, even the low carb day, I'm just not hungry!
I guess I should force it in just to speed up my metabolism and put some muscle on... right?
I'll bring the poster of that nationals competition in for you tomorrow!

Naaw thanks guys! I think that was me at like 12.5%bf or something? (according to a pinch test - the didnt test my bum or theighs though and that is where i hold 80 bazillion % of it.
I think you have to get to 10% to compete or something? So I was really close! You can see what my abs are going to look like if i dont lose too much muscle with the fat.
I read Pauline Nordins 'how to stay inspired' thread on bodybulding.com and she said she looks at a pic of herself, so i have this on my phone and on here, and everytime i see it I go "wow look at what i can look like if i just be disciplined!"
It's good to be your own inspiration too! It's easy to make excuses if you're comparing yourself to someone else  its never a good idea!
I tried really hard to eat today, but its not easy! I wonder if i should just listen to my body and lay off the food for a bit? As long as what i do eat is clean I mean.
What do you think?

Remember, you've got to fuel the machine. Maybe what you need is a little change. is there a "happy food" you have given up? Maybe it's time to reward yourself. You have obviously been working hard, a one time "treat" isn't going to derail you. Keep it small, re-group, then hit it hard. Not to jump on th band wagon but you really look spectacular, keep moving forward....

Hey GG, how's the hunger goin? Sometimes I have that happen - when I'm not hungry and it's hard to force the food. I usually do force myself to eat something every 2 to 3 hours regardless. It may not be as much food as I should, but at least a little protein and carb each time. Gotta keep that metabolism working.
On another note - about thwarting the curse - I met a girl at The Cals this weekend. She is 48 and it was her first figure competition and just a mere 18 months prior she had a double transplant - kidney and liver. I couldn't believe it. Her scar was huge and very visible but her goal was to do a figure competition and she did it. I was so impressed. Here I am feeling sorry for myself having this stupid cyst and needing surgery and worrying about not being able to go to the gym and wondering how much it's gonna put me back. Talk about inspiration! Just thought this story might help you too when you're feeling doubtful about competing.

Thanks Pamgid! That's so lovely!
Thanks 6-pack-girl, I'm thinking maybe I should add some sauce or something cause maybe I'm just getting bored?
Bleh I had a bad last couple of days, my laptop died so i wasnt able to do any overtime for a few days at work, so everything was starting to get on top of me. I only had 150g of chicken left and needed another 200 so I had to try and think of something else I could buy at work, which ended up being a sandwhich - yay
And then I had to do so much work when i got home - i didnt finish until 9:30pm and then couldnt sleep cause my brain was still active, woke up at 6:30am, missed the gym, went into work and one of my bosses is still unhappy - what the hell can i do to please this guy?
Anyway, its supposed to be low carb day, but i didnt get time to get my food together last night, thinking Id be able to do it this morning, which also didnt happen, and after my long day, lack of sleep, missing gym and having mounds more work to do with my boss still miserable, I've eaten really badly already.
For breakfast I had a museli bar while running out the door. when I got to work I had some work museli.. then some toast...
I'm still down-hungry, I dont know whether it would be best to eat to cheer up, or still try my best and feel better in the long run.
I'm so exhausted, and will probably have to do more overtime tonight, and the thought of cooking and cardio on top of that is a little daunting.
*sigh*
Oh well, falling over is ok and long as you get back up straight away!
Cmon Geeg

Wow, what an incredible story. This sport brings out the amazing in people doesnt it. You're right, so inspirational, and it brings things into perspective! Why is it so easy to blow thing out of proportion in your head?
Thank you  xxx

Not to be repetitive but you look great. Was feeling sluggish this morning but you have shamed me into the gym.
