Had e mail from Jenn Searles today to arrange my posing session when in

New York.  She is really excited about seeing me again.  I am very excited, not long to go now.  I am still being sick, but looking ok, my body is holding up even though I am ill.  Fingers crossed it stays that way.  Just booked time with Helen to go and buy my make up at end of the week.

Definitely have something, have not been able to keep any of my food down, have had to come off all supplements, damn, was just getting into my arginine before my workouts.  Have still kept up with my workouts, but am quite weak.  Have not done much cardio, but not really eating, so at least I am keeping lean!!  I know it’s not healthy!?!Tonight was our Body Building Show at the gym.  My girl Rachel went to 8 stone 12lb, she reached her target and looked amazing.  So proud of her.  We had 3 guys in body building, 2 guys in ‘cover model’ and 5 girls for a toned/trained figure.  We had a great turnout in our studio, over 200 people came and supported.  We had also ‘best abs’ (my old client Louise won that at 6 months pregnant), we had best ‘wheels’ and ‘guns’ from the audience.  A DVD was made of the show and it will be great for everyone to see themselves in.  The girls were particularly hard to judge, due to such different physiques.

Good workout this morning, supersetted bi’s and tri’s.  French press with EZ preacher curls, bench dips (weighted) with incline  db supination curls, loved military press and raises together, shoulders coming out!  Reverse barbell shrugs and squats, stiff legged deadlifts and leg extensions and incline db flyes with reverse grip pulldowns and reverse grip bent over rows!  Phew, what a workout.  Threw up in the middle of it, now that’s hard core training or I HAVE A BUG! 

Starting to feel queasy, may have a stomach bug.  Not a good thing to have now, just 2 weeks to go till show!  

Double cardio day of stair climber and treadmill, clients and weekly planning, blog, tired today but always work or something to do.  We have just decided on a female image for our xmas card for the gym, and now I have to try and get at least 50 poses from old mags so that before and when I am in New York I will get some good comfortable shots for my website gallery.  I know that my pics will be better than the ones in

Kentucky, where I looked so awkward and made up.  Oh yes, forgot, did my eye shadow make up session with Helen last night, where I am wearing golds and I learnt how to blend!  Got to go and buy some brushes now to take away with me.  Still have not heard when my suits are arriving, have made a note in my ‘planner’ to ring Chrys in the week.

What a session on legs this morning!  Was sick- pushed hard and on new supps for Candida that seem to be really strong.  Just like last week, extensions, curls, single squats and alternate lunges and static lunges, biceps and the IMPORTANT shoulders, raises and

Arnold presses.  God, I really want boulders for shoulders in this show.  Took 2 x Arginine to help me with a pump.  Had a fully body massage with Morgan today, had lunch, nap, back for a little bit of painting the door frames at the gym, cardio and sauna!  Had a lovely cheat meal at Helens last night, lovely steak and fries!  Was nice to catch up with her at long last (well at least now she is back on track and no longer a horrible moody woman on diet and fat burners) as I am sure you will read her article on ‘Being a champion’.  England lost the Rugby to

South Africa and we watched the X-Factor and loved the new series of Strictly Come Dancing!

Sprints nice and early with Simon (think he thought it was going to be gentle cross trainer!) no chance, hard workout for my glutes today!  Had my client Rachel in this morning as our Body Building show is 9 days out now and her weight has dropped now to 8stone 13lb.  Helen and I went through her supps for the next week and she has bought dandelion root, taraxatone and potassium, she starts her 6 litres of water out tomorrow!  She is looking great, calves and quads have got leaner and smaller.  Really pleased with her effort and training so far, she is going to be in the best shape of her life next weekend. 

Slept badly!  Got a bit spooked about the comp.  Got on the treadmill and pounded uphill.  No time to get spooked.  3 weeks today we are going to be on the plane! 

Early morning – treadmill, calves (standing and donkey 3 sets of 50 reps).  Had a posing session this afternoon, not bad, but so many things to think about.  Making sure I pull my elbows up to make my arms look thicker and not so long, so bring my fingers in so that they are not so pointy and long.  On the side twists, so really twist around to make my waist look small.  not bad, but a lot to work on.  Website nearly finished by Brian of White Tiger.  Just making some changes to my font size and I need to write text for him.  Very pleased with it, it looks really good.  Just need some more pics, hopefully get some nice ones before I leave for New York and of course in

New York for my site. Finished the day off on stair climber. 

Shoulder day today!  Heavy dumbbell shoulder presses at 15kf for 8 reps and seated dumbbell lateral raises with 10kg.  Back, chest and biceps, heavy abs,  good session, looked real lean and pumped up, almost contest ready today!  We are tired, weekend still catching up with us, should be ok by mid week.  Stair climber early evening, not too bad, really refreshed me for the client session in the evening. Sent e-mail to Chrys Corner regarding my suits that are being made for the show, I am starting to panic a little, hope they arrive soon!  Worse comes to the worse, I am sure Jenn Searles has some spare???
