4 weeks to go and everything is good. Had a good session today of Shoulders and Arms with 45 min cardio of Stairclimber yesterday and today.

From tomorrow 2 X 60 min of cardio, better get some new tunes onto my i pod.

Just checked out Olympia results and see that Ava Cowan did not compete and there was a new winners Erica Stern who has a nice physque, lots of newcomers and only in fitness are the old faces.

Looking forward to another good week. Tan and scrub has been ordered. Just chilling with Karate Kid, great movie!

Cardio is planned for the week, hope you are all organised and ready to go. Looking forward to client successes this week as most seem to be on track!

Hotel, flights, show www.ufeshows.com  booked, very excited!  I have had a good week of training, legs was good on Tuesday and I switched some exercises around.  I did stiff legged deadlifts on the smith machine and that really got my hamstrings!  Yesterdays workout was hard, the close grip bench presses and weighted chins were very hard, think thats the pre contest coming out, but I hung in and got the rest done fine.  I am looking forward to Shoulders and Arms on sunday.  Cardio has been good this week and the stairclimber is no longer a threat 45 mins is easy now, so happy with that.

Monica Brant won her wbff figure show and have just seen her pics on www.bodysport.com she looks great and hard!  I have just heard from her and congratulated her on her win, she is off the the Olympia now to work for the weekend.  I am speaking to her in the next week or two so look forward to that.  It will be interesting to see who wins this year, I hope Ava Cowan does.  Who knows!!!

Yes, I am hungry and leaning up, all good, off to have a massage now!

5 weeks to go to showtime! Its very exciting and protein and fats are going ok. Some days really hungry some not so but coping fine. Training going well and today been and trained the Shoulders and Arms. Lifted the 15kg on my own for 8\6\6 reps so really pleased and db seated hammers 12.5kg on my own for 3 X 6 reps. So all good.

Our Fashion show affair was brilliant. We have raised about £3,500 to the £7 grand we are focussed on. The night was really good and the children from Mayfield School did some great routines for the crowd. I bidded on decorating hours from a painter so my lounge is the focus after my show! Our members looked great in the fashion show and there were some lovely dresses and clothes. Looking forward to our October 8th Midnight walk to raise more money for the school.

Early morning cardio has started so roll on tomorrow! Plus my suit arrived Friday and it looks amazing, I cant wait to wear it! X
