Well just a quick post to say all things are looking great. I had a few very down weeks which I didnt care to write about.. I didnt want a written reminder of my down mood cause that is just not me. After hitting the bottom with a thud I was sent an invite to a seminar by my ol' training buddy T. I had no idea what it was about and am the first to admit I am not into too many deep and mysterious things, so the idea of a Think Slim seminar didnt really jump out at me but thought why not?

It ended up being just what I needed. Mark Stephens is a hynotherapist and deals with the reason why people cant loose weight when they know what foods to eat and that they need to be active.. the one thing stopping us is our mind. This could not have come at a better time. They say that when the student is ready the teacher will appear. He talked about Time Line Therapy and the power of positive self-talk. I had no idea why I have often thought that I am not good enough and through the day the first time I ever felt this way came back to me.. I now know why I feel like this and can let it go.. We did a few hypnosis sessions and I really enjoyed it.. and more to the point..

I have been Supper happy, Supper energetic, Trained Hard, 1 hour Cardio every morning and eaten 110% for the week.

I spoke to Hayzer on Monday saying I am ready to diet now. I think he was a little stunned. But im ready and that is alot better then being told you have to start dieting now. Bring on March 11th!

Also a big congrats to everyone who competed in the WNBF South Australian Titles on Sunday. It was a great day and the show was a huge success. I think the venue was great for both the competitors and the watchers. Great job Kerry on your 2nd.

I have been a little slack on the blogging front of late but I can assure you I have not been slacking off any where else. I have been a busy little bee with work, uni and training.
Spent the weekend in Mildura watching the WNBF Regional Country Classics. It was a great weekend. What made it all the better was that knowing so many of the competitors and what they have done to be on that stage was inpirational. Well done to Kerry who looked stunning on stage and to Kate who took out overall in her first comp. This girl has a 8 pack to die for. Just between us I think me teaching Kate how to make pretty fingers during her posing definately was the kincher.. LOL. I will ask permission on posting pics.
Also I wanted to mention another man, we will call F who entered over 50's. This man was in such great condition winning his division and not only did he look great on stage but is son in the audience had a face lit up like a Christmas tree. The pride in his sons face kept dragging my eyes to him watching his dad - it was a touching moment to witness.
Another highlight was watching the Coach get up and do his guest pose. He was jaw dropping amazing (and a bit of a show off LOL). Not a bad routine either considering he made it up 2 hours before the show.

I think this weekend is just what I need to get me into gear again. Although I was away for the weekend I have got in all training and cardio sessions (well walking sessions). I am really enjoying my weights and walking early in the morning in peace and quite. Since getting back eating is going well. I have cleaned it up alot and increased my protein and veg. I am no longer going hungry. I have the date of the comp which i will be entering and I will give it my all.

So comp season has finally kicked off with the Mildura show. Next up is the 13 Sept NABBA show. I will be working the Max's stand if anyone is going - so you better come and say hi! Followed by WNBF on the 21st Sept.. another brilliant show not to be missed followed by INBA in Oct. This is like Christmas for me and I cant think of a better way to stage the comp prep surrounded by inspiration!

Keep up all the good work and stay positive
