Thanks for stopping in and for the comments. What are you competing in? What category?? Great avi!! First one?
I know I won't be ready for October and will need to shoot for next year but that's ok. After my last show, I rebounded hard and have spent the last two years yo yo' and really have just made things worse. So...going nice and slow and once and for all, fixing the damage works for me.
Keep us posted on your show and your progress. I always get so inspired from others.
Heya! And thanks for the welcome
IFBB physique. Yeah my first show.. Although I did do comp prep last year for the figure category but i completely Lost my shit couple of weeks out and nerves, stress, exhaustion and hunger got the better of me. Feel like I've been prepping for this one since then so it's a totally different lead in, a lot less stress. Sounds like you'll be in the same head space for next year. Physique couldn't have come at a better time, I felt like a "skinned bunny" for figure... Not exactly my forte.
Hope all goes well at your Drs appt

Sounds awesome! I am thinking physique too but I'm not sure I'll be muscular enough. I've just done figure but so don't fit the mentality either. Usually want to drop a few people backstage! lol
Well, I went to Dr yesterday and it wasn't clear. Likely, it's just some weird stomach bug but I had to go and do some lab work to rule out a couple other things. So he just said to carry on. Eat what I can and see what happens. If he doesn't call me by tomorrow, no news is good news. I can eat and keep down small amounts of soup and shakes but still get pain and nausea after.
I went to the gym last night and did a light back/ bicep workout. I made it through 15 mins of my cardio and had to stop.
I'm on day 5 of no real solid food. Feeling a little bit low today. I guess the good news is, it will help with the weight loss but a crappy way to do it and training becomes difficult. I shall carry on!

Hahaha. That's gold!!! Would pay to see that...
Yeah its all a tad OTT pageantry for me I'm afraid. Dunno how yall do it... Too much to think about fir this Girl. Hair, bikini or do-able but the heels had me fkd. Haha.
Was kinda a litle worried about not being muscular enough but then I figured f*#k it, won't know til I go. Just gotta keep lifting and growing
Damn, your stomach sounds like a bit of a mess at the moment. Here's to a speedy diagnosis & an even quicker recovery x

The heels were a challenge. And...not knowing much at that time about heels...platforms are way easier to walk in. Although, they weren't allowed at that time but just a little heel note for ya!
My first time out on stage, I almost bit it. Definitely lost points for lack of grace. LOL
So the saga continues...my Dr called and said I likely have a stomach ulcer. It does kind of fit with what I'm experiencing and with a lot of the lifestyle habits I've had for a very long time ie: overuse of ibuprofen, especially in the last year, it seems likely. There's a bacteria they can test for and treat too, that causes it. I'll go back next week and see what he wants to do. They can do other more intrusive tests but not always necessary and definitely not wanted!!
It still could be a flu but it hasn't improved and usually would start to in a week's time. So he told me lay off the coffee, any drinking and the advil. I gave up diet coke about 5 months ago, which could be another contributor. I was drinking stupid amounts of pop. So no coffee this morning. I am a caffeine addict and right now have a huge headache and am edgy. Good times at my house! LOL
I've done a little reading today on diet tips and am going to change things up a bit. Eating hurts! I have no appetite but I've been trying to get the most nutrients in with the smallest amounts of food. When I don't eat, my body hurts and I want advil...the never ending cycle....so, trying to be proactive!
It's just a minor setback but overall, pushes me even further in the direction of getting healthy, which is the ultimate goal. I've had major resistance to giving up coffee, even though I wanted to be free of that addiction and now I really have to. Small term pain for long term gain.
And...my weigh in Monday should be decent! LOL I just have to keep my nutrition up so I don't get sick that way. That is the challenge of the weekend. I haven't trained in a couple days and likely will go in the morning.
