Hell has come!

What a week I've had. At the start of the week i decided not be scared of dropping my carbs by half to get my bodyfat lower followed with a 90 minute cardio session as soon as I stroll out of bed, how nice. The results have been fantastic. Having spoken to my friend's James Lllewellin (British middle weight champ) and soon to be again... Also Paul Jenkins, light heavy competitor and british finalist (now a heavy weight) trains with 'The FREAK' Heavyweight champion Zack Khan. Its always good to have someone in your corner. I know what im doing but at this final time three heads are better than one.

I will remain depleted until Wednesday evening and then come Thursday i will carb load as i see fit weighing myself every few hrs to gauge weight and also look in the mirror every a.m and p.m to see the real results. Also Natalie will check my back and glutes for condition and make sure everything is going to plan. I'm totally shattered and that's why I've had to finish work now. I can barely put a sentence together and I cant face talking to people at the moment, tinternet is cool though, ha! Sorry to my mates and customers but its just how it makes me feel. Give it  a whirl one day its right laugh... NOT!

Feeling sooooo negative because I feel like a skinny girl. The lack of carbs and flat as a pancake muscles dont exactly chirp me up but hey, all part of the process. You have to go through the shitty stage to reap the rewards at the end and I'm nearly their. Once I start carb loading my attidude will change, feel positive, look better, be bigger and most of all be ready!!!

2 weeks out from show date!

Hi everyone. Very sorry its been so long since my last post! I've been stuck in the middle organising certain aspects of my web site, formulating my products, working in my shop and aiming to get into contest ready shape so I've had my hands full big time.

Today is Wednesday 24th September, approximately 12 days until I compete and don't I know it, ha! Very much looking forward to it. Without a doubt its the biggest I've been in terms of carrying REAL lean muscle, forget what the scales say as they don't tell you what condition your in... Use the mirror as your guide as this will indicate your true condition, the mirror never lie's!

On Monday I trained Chest and Shoulders. I recorded the last set of every exercise and rolled it into one short film with a backing track, I will do this all week. It gives you a better idea of how I train. I mostly prefer to train on my own, I'm self motivated so being by myself isn't a problem... I'm in my own little world.

I have made the important decision to have my last working day this Saturday. Because my body fat is very low and contest prep is so time consuming I need a full week to really finish things off.

At the moment this is a typical day;  

7.30 4 x Red Heat capsules, 10g NAR Glutamine

8.00 90 minutes on the treadmill

9.30 Take my 2 Japanese Akita's out for a walk by the canal

10.00 5 scoops NAR ULTIMATE, 1/4 cup oats (Blended with water to drink)

12.00 300g Fish, 1/2 packet uncle bens microwave rice, Almond butter

2.00 2 NAR Red Heat capsules

2.30 As above

5.30 As above

6.30 NAR NOX SHOCK (Awesome product and will be out soon)

6.30 Take the dogs out again

7.00 TRAIN

8.30 NAR VOLUMIZE

9.30 300g fish, Almond butter

11.30 300g fish, Nut butter

Then try and get some sleep. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on my work and sleep is very difficult as my fat reserves slowly decline. Good job I have an XBOX and stacks of DVD's to keep me occupied.

The following photo's are 5 weeks and 3 days out;

Amazing transformation in as little as 9.5 weeks!

Amazing really when the fat starts to come off, things are much more pronounced, muscle insertions are much deeper and the overall look is starting to look more polished but my condition is far from being complete. Now is where things will start to get harder, much, much harder as the last bits of fat NEED to be off by next week and then water retention needs to be manipulated and stripped off to get that extra hard look. Mmm, I wish it was easier but then if it was easy their would be no fun! I really do get off on being mentally and physically challenged... All the way to the end, right now I would say more than I ever have been :  )
