An additional challenge

Okaaaayyy we are now only 5 weeks away from Competition day!!

Some of my competitors fellows are already ready ! I am farrrr from being there!

So today I was talking with my sweet hubby and he threw me an additional challenge:
lose 2 dress size in the next 5 weeks and I'll win £1000
If I don't I'll have to pay him :(

So the bet started today and was great timing as i just have received 5 books on nutrition...so here is the plan: CLEAN nutrition (veg, raw veg, salad, fish and grass fed whey protein shakes) for the next 5 weeks, plenty of good fats, magnesium, zinc, ashwagandha supplements and chamomile (pm) , peppermint (am) and holy basil (day) herbal teas.

This is a fantastic additional motivation for the final push...
image this ...spending £1000 on...GUESS clothes or £1000 on ....any ideas???

5 weeks and 6 days to go

I have been joining few fitness groups, adding friends etc who are also joining FAME May 2010...they are dead serious about all this, they are good ! No presssssurrreeee there !!!!
Some of them who are already looking competition ready are talking about pushing themselves for the next 6 weeks ...now this is what I call perfection!

I am FAAARRRR from this BUT I am not doing too bad, my shape is changing nicely, I am feeling lighter and more energetic, my bum is shaping up nicely as my hubby says...and my arms are nicely toning up. My back is becoming nice and leaner - I used to hate this fat on the side where the bra strap sit - I realized yesterday it's no longer there : ) not bad, not bad :)

New amendments on my training program this week: more frequent exercises and increase of intensity (more tabata workouts) and change in the diet: starting in the mornings with protein and nuts.

I have checked my weight this morning and I am the lowest I have been in the last 13 weeks not bad considering I am not focusing on the scales but more on the cm loss.

I was trying few "slimmer" outfits on last night at home - a bit of a catwalk for my hubby who was really enjoying this - and I found one in my closet and beautiful raspberry pencil dress I want to get in in the next 3 weeks: by the 10th May.

I will ask my coach this week for a full body composition (fat / muscle) and cm check. It will be a good starting point for the next 5 weeks and 6 days to go to FAME Bikini competition !!!!

I bought my fake tan this weekend - spent a little fortune which I will try on for FAME mini camp this Friday and I have practising my walking and posing in my high heel shoes with my good friend Juliana - it's so much fun ! I am loving this part as we are playing Divasssssssss

till next update...

Lots of Love

Suddenly it hit me yesterday...

Suddenly it hit me yesterday...my body is not invincible...for the last 11 weeks - since I started training seriously for FAME Bikini - I have not been ill not even a little flu and suddenly realizing that my body was out of my control (the strange uncontrollable feelings of anxiety/stress/restlessness after my medical injection) scared me. Also maybe because what recently has happened in my family. I must do even MORE to build a STRONG & HEALTHY body to PREVENT it to become ill.

Today FINALLYYYY I am feeling back on track but although i trained hard this past week I have not given it all in my eating...what a shame!!!! one week lost !!!
I MUST compensate and be EXTRA good and follow what Jon my coach was saying: NO CARB, NO GRAINS in the evening as this is when we store and bu id up fat. so it's a NO NO

Today so far so good. I must take everyday as it comes literally and do the BEST very possible BEST in my eating. I watched Arnold's video sent by Audrey from FAME and WOWWWWW what an inspiration and a motivational quick! I loved it. Thank you Audrey for sharing :)

I need to be doing so serious catch up!

Anything IS POSSIBLE !
