Hi Roxy.

I think you made the right decision for you. At least you gave it a shot and decided it was not for you.

Keep working hard!

Re: 84 Days...T Contest Log

Yep Moya, you're absolutely right...

that is ok, some of us here have heart and that is what counts most... there are no drugs in the world that can replace the hard work we have put in...
certainly not fair though...

Re: 84 Days...T Contest Log

Thanks Moya and Bader! All about heart right? Staying the course and seeing it through to the end...no matter what!! Both of you guys have been a great support to me and you help keep me going, especially during the times when things feel frustrating.

Island Girl..great to see you back and gearing up for Physique. There are many of us up here in Canada anxiously waiting to see how that category works this year. If it goes well, we're hoping our associations will follow suit.

Tuesday, March 1

I did not get up for morning cardio this morning. It was -41 at our airport this morning! It totally zaps all your energy. I slept well but just couldn't face the cold.

Workout tonight...

Started with a 10 min warm up on the treadmill.

20 pullups - still using the assisted machine. It was too busy tonight to use the bar and attempt them that way. I'll try on the weekend when it's not as busy.

One arm dbl press
15 lbs - 10
17.5 - 10
22.5 - 10
25 - 10

Side lat raises
15 lbs - 10
15 lbs - 10
17. 5 - 10
17.5 - 10

Upright BBL rows
40 lbs x 10 x 3 sets

Incline ab crunches
4 sets of 15

Ended with 20 mins on the stepmill.

This wasn't one of my better workouts, overall. I am not very energetic the last couple of days. I think it's a combination of the drop in cals and the weather. Probably 80% weather. I was saying earlier today in the bookie forum...I'm just sooo sick of the extreme cold and it really takes its toll on you. I think we had a record set this morning for cold and it doesn't even include the wind chill.

Diet is on track!

I'm off to bed soon....a little more food prep and calling it a night.

It's a tough thing ya know. We all want to win and because my results are slower coming, I started to feel some desperation...thinking maybe just this once. But it's that kind of thinking that gets people beyond the point of no return and if I stop and think about it...bigger picture...I don't want to lose certain traits. I'm 2 weeks in and my hair has started falling out and my voice is scratchier. Just a bit but enough that I notice. I have that sore throat feeling, which is a precurser to the voice change. QT is someone I talked to before and told me exactly that. She was right!

Don't get me wrong....I love to compete and am generally very competitive! I suppose it's the wisdom of getting older maybe or something like that where I just realize what my limits are and have reached the point of knowing I don't have to win at all costs. There was a point in my life where I wouldn't have thought twice about it and wouldn't have cared what the consequences were.

And...just to add...please don't read this and think I'm against supps or gear or judging anyone because I'm not. I believe strongly that those decisions are very individual.

As for the rest of the supps....it would have been great to try them all out but what can ya do. It goes back to that post I had a few weeks ago about letting go of things I can't control. I've always believed it's 80% diet, 10% training and 10% supps (not counting gear in that) so...there ya have it!

The Roxy philosophy of the morning! Cue the deep thoughts music....

You will all be so proud of me....I braved the retardedly cold temps this morning and made it to the gym for 45 mins of fasted cardio. Pretty sad when -24 actually feels warm!
