June competition preparation..

[Thandie]

My diet is the same, just fewer carbs, so I am not convinced it is detox.

I think it is just that I can eat for England, and I am way more active than I realise as I don't drive, I walk almost everywhere, and my job is not a sitting job most of the time.

Green tea, yes, I like it, especially Jasmine green tea, although lately I am more partial to Rooibos/red bush tea (Buddhist tea).

I am having vanilla rooibos chai right now.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh, and I have this Yoga Mayan Choco tea as well which is just yummy.

That Yoga Mayan Choco tea sound really good. I wonder if I can get it here.
Is Yoga Mayan the brand and Choco the flavor?

They have contact details for Oregon, so I would think so.

Brand Yogi Tea, this flavour is Choco, Mexican Spice, but they have ALL sorts of flavours.

How funny, they have completely different packaging and website for Europe, as my tea was made in Holland.

Ah, Yogi! I'm familiar with it. Forgotten about it. Love spices, so Mxican spice will do for me. Time to chage my tea. I've been drinking the same tea for quite a while..

Yes, different packaging for Europe and USA. Clothing designers do the same thing. Different merchandise for different continents..

Oh, don't get me started on fashion

I keep telling myself, you have ENOUGH clothing, no new ones until you recycle or e-bay some of the things you are not wearing.

I have a few pieces from Gaultier and Muglier I am going to e-bay, and I am contemplating selling my Vivienne Westwood suit as well.

Ohh! so you're a clothes horse like I am..
Loooove Vivienne Westwood. You mean you get Mugler in London? We don't get that here anymore. I used a lot of Mugler in the 80's. I love Valentino (before he retired)and Louboutin shoes. That's right, you can barely walk on them, they're so high, but they look fab!!!

There's never enough clothing or shoes or handbags or sunglasses...

LOL! I used to get a lot of my Mugler's in Paris. They had this tiny little boutique, I remember you had to go downstairs. God, ages ago.
Anyway, of course, darh-ling! I was hooked on Absolutely Fab, till they cancelled and we were all heart broken here.

I've been trying to build up for my next comp on September 20th, but so far I've only gained 2.5lbs from last comp. I'll have to work on getting bigger for the next show.

Today off from weights. Played tennis for 1 hour and 15 minutes and felt really good. we played out doors, but it was very hot. Nonetheless, had a good cardio session.
Tomorrow, high volume legs. I alternate my leg workout where one week is power and the second, volume.

I'll start posting again my routine next week..

 

[Thandie]

Good morning!

Did a very intense leg work out, using volume, but going as heavy as I posibly endure and almost puked..

Good workout for legs, I have never tried glute/ham raises, but then again, my glutes and hams don't really need much more developing.

Isn't it funny how legs can be really tough to grow.
