Its Easter Friday!  I’m not concerned at all about overindulging with eggs.  My partner is in Afghanistan and I am home alone (but not lonely) with my dog, 3 cats and 2 birds. i was going to go home to visit my parents and nephews (4 hours drive) but decided against it.  This way I have the chance to focus on my good clean nutrition and training - and maybe a big "spring clean" even though its Autum here in Oz (LOL!)

I have my trusty 12 week diet plan that’s working a dream - down to 18.8%BF now.  Can’t wait to get my next pinch test.  My clothes are falling off me and I feel like my body is the way it was 8 weeks out from my last competition.  I have learnt so much since my last comp that as I now have a longer prep…. i am so excited to get up on stage this year. is that sad?????
For the next 2 weeks diet (week 7 &   we go back to the week 1 & 2 diet.

:) happy Easter to all

finally got time to post…… Easter Friday public holiday so trying to keep myself away from chocolate.  had a bad dinner night last night……. but haven’t had too many of them since i started this diet (Thanks soooooooo much bridgett for posting this on BB.com) I won’t tell u what I had….. but i did actually enjoy it.

Training is going ok…. I teach (1) BODYPUMP class and (5) RPM classes a week at the moment, plus I participate in BODYCOMBAT and try to get 3 weights sessions per week in.  Sunday is now called "Satan’s Sunday Sessions from Hell" cos I smash myself, but love it.  I will start posting these - if I have the energy to type.  last week my arms were dead!  I am finding these big hard heavy sessions are doing wonders.

as i said diet is good - here is last fortnights diet:
