My bb.com order arrived today with some Dedicated Woman protein powder, strawberry bliss flavor (Mmmmmmmmmm), & a sample of Xtend. I always mix my protein shakes with water to keep carbs & calories low, so if you do the same and you’re looking for a great tasting protein try one from Dedicated Woman range because it’s delicious & taste like it has been mixed with milk!!

I tried Xtend today & wow, the reviews of this stuff are right! I could really feel it working and had an awesome workout, although I had a couple of coffees during the day so I was pretty wired in the afternoon. More pictures coming soon…

I had a night time exam which I was nervous for the entire day, so staying on track wasn’t too easy for me! But I made it through the day, had an awesome workout, and am 1 exam down, yipee!!

It has been awhile since i’ve written a blog, & in the last week my diet has been up and down, I seemed to have little motivation to keep on track. So that’s why I’m starting the blog again, to keep me accountable for what I’ve done throughout each day, and I’m getting my bodyfat monitored as extra motivation!!! Can’t wait to be on track again, it feels a heck of a lot better!!

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve written a blog! Uni has been hectic this week with a big presentation on Thursday, but luckily there’s only a month left for this year. I am testing a new diet approach which is evident in my food log - it’s working out great for me.

Went to watch the NZ bodybuilding champs, very inspiring however I’m now pretty confused which class I want to compete in! Figure, body shape or bikini?? I guess I’ll have to see once I lean out.
