Some good news

Hey ladies remember, I said that in Toronto a few good things happened, but I didn't want to say anything, cause I didn't want to jinx it. Well it's finally done so I can share it with you.

When I was in Toronto I met a suit designer and she offered to sponsor me. So she has made me a suit that I had to wear and model for her at the fitness camp I went to in Boston, and for my next competitions.

Have a look, I'm posting these pics, no comments on my bloatness please, lol I enjoyed my little trip to Boston.
 
wow... I love it

And honey, you still look amazing!

Congrats :rose:
 
Bloated-schmoted... You are gorgeous Missy :heart:

Huge Congrats on your success and future endeavors ...:bigkiss:

Twinny you are such an inspiration as well :rose:
 
Was that Cathy Savage's camp?? I'd love it if she had one near me....

And yes, bloated schmoated.....You look STUNNING!! Love the red on you!!
 
thank you ladies, you all are really sweet ;)

Honest I don't like the way I look in those pics, but I know it's mostly water, cause after finally being able to stick to the diet for the last few days, my tummy is tightening up.

But I do love the suit :)

Yes Jens it was Cathy Savage's camp, she is amazing, and such a nice, selfless person also.

Oh geez now I feel like a damn idiot for being upset for weeks :worried: , but it didn't help that my bf% was taken the day after those pics and it was at 19.5% And this is the reason I've been given the "you've been a bad girl diet for the next 3 weeks"

Sorry Sassy :verygood: I'll shut up now!

Thank you everyone. :)
 
You know I mean that in a good way ... but it is mind boggling what the body will do when you put it under stress.

HUGS! I'm so happy for you and you really do look great!
 
You are too hard on yourself, I don't see any Bloke......errr i mean bloat!


Beautiful outfit! :)

Sweetie.. Im not seeing 19% in those pics. Some water retention maybe..

You look amazing, and I understand being hard on yourself.. Im in a constant struggle now.
 
You guys - understand that when you are coming off a show and you deal w/ the water rebound & you get calipered - unless you are using the $400 calipers that are able to measure around the water, its primarily the water u are measuring.

yep

I am up big on the scale but still have visible abs and definition in my upper and lower body. No way its fat.. not yet.. hee hee
 
You can't deposit more than 1/2 lb fat / week i've heard.

Why do people think they can gain 15 lb of fat in 1 week?
 
I didn't think I could have possibly gained that much fat in a month, I ate lots but hell not that much. My abs did disappear, but they are back now. ;)

But my trainer didn't say that was impossible, he just said you've been a bad girl and didn't follow your diet, so here's 1 for 3 weeks with less calories, now be good so we can increase your calories.

Which I have been only 2 more weeks left thank friggin goodness, cause I'm hungry all the damn time!

That seems kind of harsh that he let you believe that you had gotten fat when it was mostly water. How rude!
 
You gotta understand what trainers deal w/ all the time w/ competitors though. Seriously -- yes you have to deal w/ getting thru a competition and then the rebound - but the major reality of all of this is that YOU need to learn how to manage your expectations, your moods, the changes in your body in response to your diet. If you are a trainer & you deal w/ this stuff on a regular basis and clients who go thru it for the first time every day, they are just sort of going to say "Yea it happens, you slipped now lets get you back on track so we can focus on getting your metabolism back in order so we can start manipulating it for the next goal."

There is really a point where you have to learn to suck it up and get down to the BUSINESS of fitness. It takes a while and its such an emotional thing that can so easily be taken personally and very deeply. But at the end of the day, its the trainer's job to get you directed towards your next goal and its your job to get your body built back to what it needs to be. To a degree, its just a job.

It's interesting how you posted this -- in trying to get my head wrapped around this whole thing -- I've taken to looking at it like a job. That's really helped.
 
Because your moods are so much a result of your body's biochemistry and the different reactions going on, they are intimately tied to everything related to competition prep. They are extremely hard to deal w/ because they are so extreme and sometimes you don't even know where the come from, sometimes you are just so depleted or exhausted that you get overwhelmed by it all and yet you can't take a break from it until your show is completed or lose everything you worked so hard for without achieving your goal.

HOWEVER, if your trainer coddles you and lets you off when the weight is heavy or you are emotional or whatever, you will never achieve your goals. Just as w/ regular dieting, it is all about CONSISTENCY, PERSISTENCE and INTENSITY. You can't expect to successfully manipulate your body / metabolism if you don't have predictable baselines to adjust up & down from. It takes time to experience, understand and then control your emotional response to it, be able to deal w/ the extreme ups & downs in order to maintain that "even keel" as your baseline.

Every time you go thru it you will probably still experience the ups & downs, the panic moments, etc. but you become much better at approaching it as just part of what you have to do to achieve your goals. But for starters, if you are just aware that these mood swings, etc. are just part of what it takes to become an elite athlete, then you can work thru it and focus on the end goal instead of creating drama around little things.
