11 days to go...

[quote name='BartMan']MMMmmmmmmm, carb free zone now, but breakfast this morning was GREAT. 250gm of fresh salmon poached in it's own juices. and green beans - raw!!!<br />
<br />
Was fan bloody tastic. But expect I will be sick of that by Wednesday![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Get on that salmon. Love that stuff. <br />
<br />
[QUOTE]nah, at the moment we are runnning at serious calorie defecits. Making out bodies burn what fat is left. The trick is to keep the muscle there and make the body burn the fat for fuel.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
I remember when I had my first Personal training session and the PT kept saying "you've got plenty in store" all throughout the session. All the while I was gasping for air and barely freaking walk. I didn't know what he was going on about, but realise it was all the fat I had in store (my body) that I needed to burn. He wasn't doing it in a derogatory way, but as a motivator that I could keep going because I had stored energy to burn! -
still not sick of salmon, one day to go on that until we see trainer on Wednesday - I ahve my rolled oats and protein powder porridge that morning, as she will be putting me through my compulsory posing round, and then deciding on my diet for the next few days before competition after that.<br />
<br />
There is ZERO temptation at the moment to cheat on anything. WE were packing our 'goody' bags last night, bagging up giant jelly beans and snikcers bars and all the rest for the sugar blitz that our body gets on Saturday, and did not even cross mind to slip on orange giant jelly bean into my gob. So in a good place at the moment. But not one where I want visitors!<br />
<br />
Have I mentioned my full carb free day? Not quite carb free, as I get apples, but other than that zilch. Breaky salmon and green beans, mid monring 200g chicken and an apple. Lucnh 200g chicken, an apple and 4 cups green veg, mid afternoon protein shake and apple, dinner 300g fish, 4 cups green veg, evening shake and a final apple. Does not take a long time to eat your food!!<br />
<br />
so fice days out, and all going well - Mrs BartMan looking wicked.<br />
<br />
Oh, and first day of dehydration today.... -
overnight, some bastard took out my eyeballs, rolled them in some sand, and put them back in my head. You know that hangover feeling when it hurts to blink...!!!<br />
<br />
other than that, all still ticking along like a time bomb!!<br />
<br />
weight still up, muscles all coming out to play, all going according to plan, perhaps - we'll find out more tomorrow when we see out trainer. Feels OK, but I don't think i am where I was at last time. This comp not the focus though - Aussie in four weeks is the goal for the first part of the season - this is a warm up event.<br />
<br />
But I like winning, so fingers crossed we have done enough with my body to get me over the line! -
Bart - sounds like its going great guns. BTW whats in your ''4 cup green veg'' - Broccoli I expect, what else?
-
brock, cabbage, beans, celery. Also roast courgette. Lettuce, cucumber also slip in under that umbrella with dinner!<br />
<br />
basically at the moment it all tastes like shit.<br />
<br />
have zero cravings for ANY kind of food at the moment. Sitting eating my chicken at lunch, with raw celery and raw beans (sweet!) and there is zero desire for any food. Thinking Tim Tams - nah, a good old fashioned potato top pie - nah, there is zero desire for any food of any sort - a weird place to be in, but here I am!! -
Really, not some nice pesto pasta? Or a barbie? Or some juicy pig knuckle? Or a roast lamb sandwich? Mmmm yummy. Or a hot cross bun dripping in butter? Or jaffas / chocolate fish? Or a cookie time cookie (or whatever they're called)? Or some original KFC? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
Good luck on the rest of the week and the comp. I admire your dedication, and your diet right now is pretty perfect-having mostly raw food is the way to go most of the time. I have a big vege juice every day. -

I suppose thats where you have to be careful you don't go too far in the other direction where you end up forcing yourself to eat. Or I guess for you it is purely fuel and when the take is empty you just top up. -

A big black pit. I visited one yesterday on day five of zero carbs. Zero enthusiasmi for anything! But today is carb up time. Nothing major, but the biody will love me for it! Eight Race wafers for breakfast with 100g chicken, 4 with JAM mid morn with 150 chicken, 200g chicken 4 wafers and green veg for lunch - it's all good.<br />
<br />
Visisted trainer yesterday, retaining water like mad on thighs and on back, otherwise all going well. So stair climbing yesterday and today on the menu. Worried - yes, but not much you can do but look back and see what you have done and change. Been a bit different this time arounf trying to keep mass on as opposed to having to target a weight and get down to it, which had me losing muscle, fat, hair and anything else I could! We'll find out what works by Aussie, Waikato and the nationals at the end of the year!<br />

Vanessa looking fuckiung amazing. Will have to put some comp photos up from the three she has done, it is a different person - upper body always been pretty good, but is much bettter too, but the legs, un-fucking-believable changes. She should be winning this Auckland comp overall. If not, the lady that takes it will certainly be looking prettyb fantastic.
