Well I have just been plugging on with comp prep. My body fat readings were generally inspiring last week, all dropped considerably apart from thighs and lower abs, ummm very common for me, it’s the last place to go. Well still got 7 weeks to get it off there. I want to use the results as a gauge for competing in the future. Was a bit tired on and off this week, I will make sure I get enough sleep as we all know this is so very important

Relief teaching is great and fits in with my training, this is a huge bonus!!!! Just have to stick to a very tight schedule, but it is generally doable. CIT (Canberra Institute of Technology) three nights and one day is a little challenging but doable as well, and it is all for a purpose that I choose to pursue so no complaining from me. Anyway the learning at CIT is great as it is generally so practical, can’t say all uni learning is practical!! Actually nearly half way through the first lot of courses… how time goes by. Deb I am competing in INBA ACT. Unfortunately it is the same day as the WNBF Nationals in Sydney.

Gosh a week has flown by since I last blogged, I have been incredibly busy but all is good and I have been making getting enough sleep a major priority. Generally it is working. I have been training at 6.30 am again for my morning cardio. This week I relief taught for three days and overall I loved it, especially today I had a great year 2 class.

My training and diet are going very well; my mind is in the right spot. I have been doing my current weight program for 7 weeks now and I must say it is a great program and I can even see good results, (often I can’t) let’s just hope enough fat comes off over the next 8 weeks. Speaking of fat I am having my body fat done again this weekend, and I am very interested in seeing how much improvement there has been since the last time. Last comp prep I didn’t get body fat done at all.

Tomorrow I have assignments to get on with along with training and going along with my cousin and aunt for coffee while they have lunch, I’ll take my own lunch of course. My aunt is over from South Australia at present.

Well I had better get to bed, take care all!!

Well I’m just about to go to bed. Have had a good week so far, can’t believe it is already Friday tomorrow. I just finished a small uni assignment for tomorrow, gosh only two big assignments left for uni altogether. YIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to get stuck into the next one as soon as possible, so to get it out of the way so I don’t have to think about it, so will look at it over this coming weekend.

Good news I got my relief card so now I can relief teach, have my first day next Tuesday, Friday and Mondays I am at uni, we are only able to teach up to three days a week at this stage, but that’s fine with me. Between everything else I have going on it will be more than fine ;)

Overall I have been sleeping a lot better, I am fortunate I generally sleep very well, just don’t allow myself to go to bed early for some or many reasons, some to do with peace and quite of the night, I love it. To tell you the truth for the past couple of weeks I have been still going to bed late some nights, but getting up later on some of the mornings for cardio, well as of Monday I am back to doing it early every morning due to other commitments, so I have certainly enjoyed training a little later in the morning when it suited, but will go back to loving the feeling off having it over and done with before half of Australia is out of bed. GOTTA LUV THAT. It will be interesting to see if I can still maintain the intensity of the training, I did notice when I did it a little later I seemed to be able to give it heaps more, probably due to two meals being in my tummy ;)

Well I’m off to bed to read some of my wonderful book I am reading and to look at some cook books, isn’t that a peculiar thing to do when you are getting ready for a comp, read cook books. I find it really relaxes me and for some reason helps keep me on the straight and narrow. …..No…… I’m just sick in the head and like to self torture myself…. LOL….only kidding and it’s not even funny, think my bed is overdue…… Good night all and sweet dreams

This is a picture of my son who is 17 in less than one month.

My training and nutrition have been pretty good if I say so myself. Yesterday I had scheduled a rest day, so later today I will train quads and cardio, I like training on Sunday, it is sometimes quiet at the gym then, and it sets me up for a good week.

Uni is in full swing now, and so is tech, I am enjoying most of tech, means I am out three nights a week, which does require a lot of organisation and planning, due to kids ect. I am very thankful for my cousin’s help!!! The day classes for tech start this week as well. Will be good to complete the first course by the end of this year, and then focus on cert 4 next year, they may offer this part time, not sure yet.

I haven’t studied this weekend, just wanted a break. I watched the DVD the Secret last night and got a hell of a lot out of it, think I will get myself a copy and watch it some more, just ordered the book of e-bay, really going to focus and put the principles into practice.

Well I had my interview for teaching on Friday, all went well, they don’t tell you much, and you wait for months to hear a result.

Any day I will get my relief teaching card and will be able to teach and get paid for it. HURRRRAAAYYY!!!

ENJOY THE REST OFF YOUR WEEKEND, TRAIN HARD AND LOVE YOUR LIFE
