Hi all, so another funny thing I overheard my four year old saying yesterday was when he had gone and hassled his 15 year old sister who was trying to sleep, she obviously told him to go on his way, so he was talking to himself in the lounge room and it went something like this, “ummmm Kyah is not nice, ummmm Kyah has just ruined my life!!!” I didn’t comment, but thought wow that’s a bit dramatic, wonder where he heard that term. Anyway soon after this he comes and asks for a piece of chilli salami, (my older boys love the crap). I suggested no because it would probably be to hot, he insisted so I said okay darling here we go, and as I suggested to him, he found it not to his liking, anyway he proceeded back into the lounge room to comment once again to himself how the salami had now ruined his precious little life!!! My goodness she is four and so bloody dramatic, am I mean? I laughed, but not out loud just to myself.

So today I got my casual teaching card, so from now on, if I chose I can work 5 days instead of three per week and earn the full rate of pay YIPPY!!!!

I also passed my fitness certificate prac with flying colours, (all the past aerobic instructing came in handy ;) I also passed all the theory. So more things to tick off the lists, gotta love lists.

Have a great day tomorrow all, I’m off to read my book and have an early night.

Okay I was tagged by Sam so here is five things you probably do not know about me.

Before I went to uni I worked in the fitness industry as a instructor, I also worked as a remedial therapist, with kids with disabilities and I ran a cooking course for adults.

I have never been overseas, however this will change next year, my cousin and I are going overseas.

Recently I was taken on a date, where the guy flew me down the coast and back for the afternoon.

I am afraid of mice, but not at all afraid of spiders, in fact have had a couple of huntsmen in my house for extended amounts of time, even cried one day when I realised my spider mate that I had not seen for some time had been squashed in the window fame. That one would even sit on my palm of my hand, to my daughter’s disgust.

I have never taken any of my children to MacDonald’s to eat! The oldest being 18 1/2. In fact once when we were asked by friends if we wanted to go to MacDonald’s for a meal my 18 year old, who was four then commented to my embarrassment, ‘What MacDonald’s!!! We don’t eat that sh*t, anyway they cut down rainforest's to make that food’ LOL gotta love out of the mouths of babies…………. and talking of such things my four year old said o me today ‘You know mum if you say nice things, you meet nice people and get to go to nice places!!! How cute is that. Enjoy the weekend all, I tag Kimmy, Sue, Nic and Charlotte

We have had some much needed rain over the last few days. I was having trouble sleeping prior tho the rain, so it was a welcomed change for me, not only because we needed it but it helped me get some much needed sleep.

I was stuffed last night, and Jacob got gastro, so he was up and down being sick all night, he still is off colour today. I’m glad it is Saturday and we can take it easy and he can recover. He looses weight very quickly when he is sick. Kids are so resilient though, it amazes me how they bounce back.

My uni results have been finalised and posted, Monday I will submit my transcript to the Education Department, and once processed I will get full rate of pay and can work five days if I choose.

My head has been in a good place training and nutrition wise this week, seems I’m back on track, I’m determined it will stay this way. Christmas always brings challenges for people me included, so I am determined to keep all my nutrition in check and continue with my training. We will be in South Australia this year again; I will hire a car if required so that I can get to a gym.

I was trying to change my profile pic, but I can’t1 will have to wait till my son gets his bum out off bed, he will know. Mind you it is 10:10am, he may not get up for hours yet!! LOL slacker.

changing my profile pic

Looking through pics and found these two I adore of Jacob, my how they grew up so fast, below is a more recent one of him and Kyah.

So I have had the biggest break from the gym that I have had in god knows how long. Tomorrow, I am back into it. Last night I went out with a friend for a lovely Thai meal and then we had a few drinks out. Must say I enjoyed that, I don’t generally drink at all really, so I did enjoy the indulgence and feel fine for it today. Thank goodness

I passed all my uni assignments and am just waiting for them to post a final grade and transfer my marks onto my transcript and then I’m done!! Funny feeling to think after studying for so long I don’t have to anymore unless I chose to. CIT study is very different to me then my uni studies. I’m already looking into post grad studies, am I mad!!! Actually two sound very relevant and interesting, Autism and Sustainable environments, ummm we will see later down the track.

Well I have to get back completing an assignment for CIT might go for a bike ride later on when it’s cool, Jacob loves going on bike rides, it’s bloody hot here!! I think my beloved Spring is over for another year. All good, have a great day all!!

Well we just got back last night from visiting Kimmy and Margie and going to the Dubbo zoo, we had a lovely weekend and my four year old was very taken with Kimmy, so much so he decided to stay on and live with her.

Prior to going to Dubbo I was in South Australia helping care for my granny. I had organised this quite some time ago hoping to give my aunt and uncle a little bit of time to themselves, I was planning to go to the gym and keep on a nutritional plan while there, however it just didn’t happen. I certainly underestimated the time and care involved in helping look after my gran as her health has deteriorated very much since fracturing her pelvis and ribs while in institutional care for a short time while my aunt and uncle attempted to have a short holiday. I had a wonderful time while there and am now trying to get back on track with both training and nutrition. I am annoyed with myself now, as once I decided to just go with the flow over there I certainly enjoyed the food, but now have to get rid of the weight I put on. You think I would have learnt from previous set backs. Don’t think my deprivation diet prior to my comp helped here.

So I am waiting with baited breath to hear that I have passed my last university assignment, and subject. Wish they would hurry and get the results out. Been doing some of my tech assignments, and must say I can’t wait till tech is finished for the year as well now.

Teaching is good, it certainly has its challenges some days though, however I try to look upon it as character building for myself at times when it’s a bit tough, and fast track learning in how to deal with behaviour management issues that suit both students and myself.

Will post some pics from Dubbo visit as soon as I manage to get them of my camera, I think the memory card I used is stuffed, hope everyone here in blog land is doing great, will catch up over the next few days.

Well Jacob is better, but not before he got the most dreadful gastro, couldn’t even hold down water, he has his dad’s metabolism and lost a lot of weight in a 24 hour period, hehe, while I was putting some on. To be expected I suppose when you resort to the drastic measures I did this comp. Well it’s all a learning curve isn’t it.

Well I have been back at the gym this week and am a bit sore at present. All good though.

I got to work a couple of days this week which was great because I hadn’t been able to at all the week before due to Jacob. Next week I’ve booked to work the four days leading up to me going to spend a week with my gran and family in S.A.

While in SA I will attempt to catch up on the tech classes I have missed, got a nutrition assignment, some programs to write and a few other things. At least it seems they will allow me to catch up rather than re-do all the subjects next year, well as long as I meet the requirements.

Once Thursday night tech is finished I’m going back to sewing classes, I love sewing but neglect it dreadfully when ever life gets busy, good how it is something you can just pick up again when ever.

My main goal after the ACT’s has been to have a week off and then re-establish where I am at and go from there. Well I have done that and although I have goals I striving to achieve at present and in the near and distant future, I am yet to put them in writing and give them the focus they require and deserve. I will give this some more thought once in Adelaide as well. I have had a lot to get out of the way this week and actually submitted my last ever university assignment I have to do, thank bloody god!!! So as long as I pass, I have finished my degree!!!!!!!!! It hasn’t really hit me yet, and don’t get me wrong but I’m not going to my graduation, for me it is over rated, very expensive, boring and too long and drawn out. Also I find sitting for hours while waiting for ones name to be called out to walk on and off stage overrated.

I go to my kids’ graduations however that is different. Some of my uni mates think I’m daft, however I think my time is better spent with family or doing something constructive, each to their own though.

CHEESE CAKE RECIPE

CHEESE CAKE RECIPE

BASE

150 GMS OF LSA, OR A COMBINATION OF ANY DRY NUTS YOU FANCY, MIXED WITH SOME FLAX SEEDS; I HAVE USED ALMOND MEAL, and HAZELNUT MEAL WITH A LITTLE WALNUT MEAL. WALNUT MEAL IS GENERALLY MOIST THOUGH

50-80 GMS OF MELTED BUTTER

MIX TOGETHER. BAKE IN MODERATE OVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MINS, COOL, this will depend on your oven, mine is crappy ;)

FILLING.

250 GMS LOW FAT COTTAGE CHEESE

125 GMS 80% LOW FAT CREAM CHEESE

125 GMS 70% LOW FAT SOUR CREAM

I LEMON BLENDED, OR 2 TEASPOONS ZEST AND 2 TABLESPOONS JUICE

(I like it lemony, hence the whole lemon)

2 TABLESPOON CORN FLOUR

1/3- 1/2 CUP XYLITOL, OR SWEETENER EQUIVALENT.

Blend all ingredients together. Pour into microwavable dish, Microwave on medium for approximately 10 minutes, whisking well every 1 minute until very think. Pour onto base and refrigerate for about 3 hours. IT IS yummy BE WARNED!!

CAN SPRINKLE TOP WITH NUTMEG OR CINNAMON, OR BOTH

I will get around to working out the macro nutrients, You can use a combination of ricotta and low fat cottage cheese if you want it lower in fat. Sorry it isn't specific, I made it up and had to remember from memory as at the time I didn't take enough notice of quantities, I made it at 11pm the night before comp when I couldn't sleep ;)

Well I have had very lazy laid back week so far, was planning to have the whole week off training, I think after 12 to 16 weeks solid training your body needs and appreciates a break, so the fact Jacob has chicken pox and I therefore couldn’t work I have just kicked back with him. He is on the mend, just still spotty. Ow and I’ve almost finished my very last assignment for uni, but have missed two weeks of tech, but I’ll catch up.

I have enjoyed some foods I haven’t had for ages, such as porridge and cottage cheese, home made Caesar salad with chicken, Thai beef salad, some German spice biscuits, some good quality low GI bread, and some low carb cheese cake I made, that when I work out exactly the quantities I put in it I will post as it is great if you like cheese cake and certainly much lower in carbs and fat than the usual ones but you would never know!! My weight has rebounded, amazing how quickly that happens, but expected when I was on such a carb restrictive diet, I'm holding fluid and no doubt put on some fat, however I expected this as I was warned and have it in control. And as of this weekend I will be back on my training and eating schedule so all is good.

I finally found out what my shoulder injury is, it seems it is inflammation, over use and scare tissue within the long head of the bicep. My physio appointments have finished and now I am gong too try and find a good massage therapist, to keep up the work removing and correcting the scare tissue. The week off now and I didn’t weight train the week before the comp, have been very beneficial in it’s healing I feel. Although I am sure I will have to b careful as it tends to flare up easily.

Well I had better go and be a bit productive, have a lovely day all, it is wonderful weather here today, might take spotty boy for a bike ride later.

Once again thanks for all your caring supportive comments ;)

Well finally, I placed fourth; there were five in my class. I enjoyed it however the lead up was quite stressful along with the general things my youngest son got chicken pox and was quite sick and all he wanted was his mum. Also my daughter decided not to help me with the tanning, she had social engagements that were far more important, my cousin would have helped however she has not had chicken pox so didn’t want to be near my son. So I did it myself, some bits are harder to get too!! At the last minute, on the day my best mate helped me out; she was great and learnt very quickly.

Overall I can’t say I was happy with my condition, I was carrying more body fat than Wagga and from the pics any size I had gained appears to be lost due to the extremely strict diet I followed for 5 weeks. My body fought it all the way, I certainly would not suggest nothing but lean protein and fibrous veggies for any length of time for myself again, I think my body thought I was starving, although I was hungry all the time, I thought if you were starving you didn’t get hungry. But I had to give it a go myself to find this out, might work for some but not this guinea pig. Sam suggested not to follow it for more than a week however I panicked and kept on it. I decided to still go through with the comp for the experience. I have learnt a great deal through this whole process and I’ve decided to keep more accurate records of my progress in future. This should help to avoid leaving anything that needs addressing to so late in the process to try to remedy it. I spoke with one of the judges and that was useful and we will take this into consideration.

Actually one very good thing has come out of it. I am more determined than ever to improve especially considering the girls in my age group, they were awesome, great physiques, really good condition, and nice muscle mass and lean!! So before I step back on stage I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me, so bring it on.

Now I have to work out the cardio that works for me to shift body fat, as what I was doing doesn’t seem to be working anymore. I am also going to try some different nutritional approaches as well.

Thank you all very much for your support along the way, I appreciate it greatly.

Thank you all for your support and comments, much appreciated and as soon as possible I will post after the comp, I know what it feels like waiting. Heheh…..Well two more sleeps. My feelings and attitudes fluctuate throughout the day in regards to how I’m feeling about the whole process. Think it is a bit easier than the first time, just because you kind of know what to expect as far as energy levels, moodiness (well in my case), and what to do.

The day before yesterday had a horrid headache, obviously for me it was from cutting out all caffeine, well coffee in my case I do love a coffee, funny I don’t have sweetener in my coffee, however this past 6 weeks I have been having stevia in it. Will probably stop this and go back to none, although I did get given some flavoured tablets you can add to coffee, I am looking forward to trying these next week.

My prep has started and between Sam and what Nick here in ACT suggested it is all worked out now thank goodness, thankyou Sam!!xx

Well got my nails done this afternoon, I should have written this before, ( I'm not very good at typing with them) ow golly just thought I have one more assignment to do, might bribe my daughter to type it for me, now that’s an idea. :)

I will try to post tomorrow, but if not….. to all those girls competing on the weekend BEST OF LUCK AND ENJOY YOURSELVES!!

LESS THAN A WEEK!@#!!!

Well I have completed a huge essay I had to write, yippy!!!!!!hope it will do as being carb depleted and writing don’t really mix with me heheh I’m an air head at at the best of times, well if I fail I have an excuse ;) No not really.... anyway it'S done, one to go!!!!!

I decided to not go to tech tonight and do amake up class I have on Friday at uni instead, just can’t see myself at a uni tutorial for 3 hours and drinking copious amounts of water with tan on. Trying to sit still andf be calm ect ect....Sure yiou guys get it...So all is good and I just finished the make up class and catching up with some uni stuff before I go home.

Comp prep is going along, I am a little “VERY’ confused at present as to what to do this week, won’t go into it too much. Will hopefully get it sorted tomorrow. Well hopefully..... as I have dieted differently these last 4 weeks, apparently it can alter how you prep….. personally I wouldn’t have a clue… Not going to say anything more, I get anxious thinking about it!!!!


Just going through the last weeks training, having hair done tomorrow will have nails on Thursday or Friday and somewhere fit everything else in. I have still been sorting out what to do after in regards to nutrition and training and it is progressing. I need an action plan, it will help keep me focussed, been researching when time permits and come up with good ideas and options.

Well I’m off home to see my kids who I bet are looking forward to next week when my comp is over!!!! Some of them are away with mates, because it is school holidays here, I bet they are glad of that ;)

Congratulations to all the girls who competed this past weekend, just INSPIRATIONAL!! All of you and remember you are all winners!!!

Two posts in one ;)

Sunday 30^th September.

Firstly thank you guys for your ongoing support and uplifting comments, much appreciated!!

Well posing on Friday night was good, I am so thankful my mate found out about these classes and that we have been able to go. Not only is the opportunity to learn a lot from them, but it’s also great to meet others who are competing on the same day as well.

I had a wedding to go to today, it was lovely, fairy tale stuff, my girlfriend always has wanted a fairytale wedding. The ceremony was held in a beautiful chapel, the bride arrived in an old fashioned horse and carriage and the cake was a castle set on cliffs made from white chocolate; and no I didn’t taste any hehe.

Well my weight is dropping and I can see improvements, let’s hope these improvements continue during the next 2 weeks. I have become accustomed to the diet my mate and I are on and my energy levels have improved remarkably since feeling like sh**t the first week then getting sick, thank goodness for that, I hope this continues so it assists in my training, I dare say I will be doing cardio right up to the comp.

Also been thinking about plans for after the comp, so in the process of still researching, but have some goals and plans going into action, all good.

Thursday 27^th September.

Not a great deal to report, plodding on bronchitis clearing up I am still very congested, noticed doing abs on a decline last night… I coughed a lot. It has really made my training suffer, but I’ve been managing, Jacob didn’t appear to get chicken pox, well not yet anyway, he is still not 100% either, but he is back to being his wonderful self. I had to cancel some of my work this week, a bummer, but we were just too ill and even if I was ok, couldn’t get Jacob looked after. Was nice to stay home with him and I managed to complete all the assignments I had for tech and emailed them instead of handing them in.

So last night our tech class was cancelled, didn’t hear me complain and that was the last one for the first half of the semester so as long as I pass everything, that’s another 4 subjects down. 4 more start in one week’s time.

3 weeks 1 day!!

Well I had better update my blog, haven’t really had the time or the inclination lately.

It is three weeks until the ACT INBA comp, and as expected things are getting challenging.

One main challenge for me is that my body appears to have stopped responding to the dieting. UMM…. Initially we thought I was holding fluid, well I was a bit, so cut out all salt, not a great deal of changes occurred though unfortunately.

So at my posing lesson with a local bodybuilder a week ago, he told me and a mate we were carrying to much fat, and ‘kindly’ suggested we follow a diet he had strong faith would work, along with a very challenging leg program, circuit style that may I add takes almost 2 hours to get through ummmm. I must be slow *lol* Well he suggested we do it three times a week, and yes we have, god forbid!! Must say it is great to have a partner in crime!!

Anyway last night at posing, don’t think he was all that happy with the progress, can’t say I am either and I voiced my concerns about the diet and weather our bodies may think we have gone into starvation mode, he said as long as your hungry, no your body is not thinking it is starving and yes we are eating regularly. Does anyone know about this???

Funny though came home and this morning a drop in scale weight and I’m sure my legs look a little leaner. Will see what Sam thinks. Have no lats at present, they would definitely be glycogen depleted, lets hope the gains I have made in my shoulders and lats, even if small, are not being metabolised away!!!!

Sometimes I little bit or some knowledge can be kind of dangerous, I am reasonably new to preparing for a comp and some of what I am doing goes against what I have read about from reputable recourses, however I do not have the practical experience to really have an educated opinion, and the guy suggesting what we do has a lot of experience, plus I really appreciate the extra time he has given both my mate and I.

I tell you it sure is a learning curve, and one I choose. However to continue on this path (which I probably will because I’m stubborn and don’t like giving up, and parts of me love the personal challenge, and I want to see just how much I can accomplish) I am going to do a lot more research into nutrition and what suits me and my body in the future.

I can say that in all honesty this comp prep I have stuck to my diet over 90% of the time and trained very hard, maybe for too long who know?? Ow well I am charging forward and as Sam says I may have been dieting too long. All food for thought, owww dear please excuse the pun lol .

Actually I kind of feel better emotionally than earlier in the week, I felt shit house, physically and emotionally earlier this week. Body must be adjusting to the diet, however I have dreadful bronchitis, (haven’t had it since I was a kid) which I am now taking antibiotics for, I generally do not take antibiotics at all, however I can not afford for it to linger. I am being careful to get enough rest.

Teaching is interesting, especially when I forgot mid sentence what I was telling the kids the other day, not a good look! LOL well you certainly have to have a sense of humour in life don’t you, fortunately I have one and I find it easy to laugh at myself.

So long drawn out read, hope all have a great weekend, its glorious weather here in ACT, gotta love Spring!!!!! Well I do anyways. ;)

This is Jacob and my very beloved gran



And here we see Jacob depicting a little of how I am feeling right now:) nothing a good nights sleep won't cure though!!

My second eldest son was 17 yesterday :)

Well I am quite tired, been flat out working, tech and training, find of hit me this week, have been making sure I get to bed at a reasonable time thou, makes all the difference and don’t intent to fall in a heap this time, Actually not sure if I mentioned ages ago, however the tooth I was trying to save that caused me heaps of hassle during and after my last comp prep was pulled out. Hindsight is a great thing isn’t it, I agonised about having it pulled and you could say wasted some $’s trying to save it, and I haven’t looked back since having it out… apparently it was constantly abscessing.

Well like I said this week I have felt a dramatic decline in energy and strength. I have been pleased with my strength gains over the duration of the current program I have been doing; however I don’t expect to make any more strength progress over the next few weeks. All is good though, my upper body is looking leaner all the time, now I need my lower body to get the hint and let go of what it is holding onto, not stressing out about it, well not yet anyway. ;)

I am tired tonight had a big week teaching with some challenging kids and just recently got home from tech, had dinner and am about to eat again and go to bed. I have been having the biggest craving for brussel sprouts, don’t know why, something in them I need, I love them but realise not everyone does!! But not complaining at least it’s not cheese cake cravings *lol* ( I love cheese cake as well)) dream on girl!!! and at least Sam said I could replace another veg for them, thank goodness ;)

Well all is going along as it should, looking forward to the weekend, so I can hopefully get some assignments out of the way, I certainly have learnt not to procrastinate over training, however I am still learning not to procrastinate over assignments ect…. Life is but one big learning journey…. gee think I need my bed I’m getting philosophical, have a great weekend all

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
