I'm soooooo TALL

All this training and eating well and I have had a growth spurt!!

Or perhaps Sam has shrunk?

Sam and I at our friend Jen's wedding 3 weeks ago now (how time flies!!). We were laughing as Damo took a pic and Sam made me look so small!!(see Sam's blog) so I made her bob down to make me look super tall.

Thanks for all my comments in my diary blog, will still be using this one for general stuff.

Work has been busy as we had to have payroll done early due to ANZAC DAY and because I have two clubs at the moment it was lengthy!!

All training done for the week, just one more cardio session to do tonight. Thats cool though as hubby and boy have been and got themselves a PS3, so they won't even notice i've ducked into tthe treaddie for 45 mins!

Really looking forward to my session with Sam this week, hope to have made more progress and see perhaps a few ideas for my routine now the song has been choosen.

Probably gonna treat myself to a new polar HRM this weekend, been spying the F4 on e bay.

Anyways, not much else to tell you here, just been mummying, working, training, eating, wifeying, not much playing happening right now, but hey thats just fine, I love everything thats going on right now, I have an amazing family and all I could dream of.

Have a great weekend all

PS (read post below to see what my 2nd blog is for and about and also get the link )

Mind Management

Just to let you know I have made a second blog. It is going to be a place that I log more about actual training, nutrition and how I'm feeling mentally.

I wanted to keep something thats more of a diary so I can look back see how I was feeling and dealing with things on this Journey to July, especially when I get closer to comp.

This blog will be a little of everything about me, life, work, kids etc etc and the other wll be a more in depth account, my mind management! Please understand though, if I want to winge I will do (probably alot towards the end!), if I want to scream and shout about how well I think i'm doing I will, so if you don't want to read this stuff, don't, stay with this one, but one things for sure it will be open and honest.

I have had it for a few weeks now and kept it closed but have decided to open it up for all to read, as I feel this little community is great support and if this is were I'm putting all the nitty grity stuff I may be able to draw on everyones support.

Heres the link - http://journeytonovicefigure.blogspot.com/

Hope you are all well and thanks for all the comments.

Another one down!

Wow another week down!! 3 Weeks down and heading into 13 weeks out tomorrow.

Friday night and I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself as I have a cold, feeling really crappy. BUT the difference now is I am still on track, still got all my sessions in and trying to focus on getting better - earlier nights etc.

Before when I got sick I would huddle up, eat crap 'nice' food that I couldn't even taste and abandon my exercise.

Anyway, I'm getting all my stuff ready for my 2nd sesion with Sam, I meet weekly with her now to do my posing practice and soon start my routine etc.
I really enjoyed it last week, you should have seen me in those shoes though!! and I kept getting told 'get your butt up'........ I wasn't tilting my pelvis enough!! well what do you expect, I have a huge ass and have always tried to tuck it in not stick it out! :)

My week has been busy, two Group Fitness Co-ordinators posts, all my classes, training, kids off school etc etc, but all I thought was 'I don't have as much on as Ali at the mo and she is doing it, so shut up and get on with it Sharleen'. THANKS ALI, your an inspiration!

Have not deviated one incy bit from my plans, both food and exercise, still feeling extremely focussed and really do want to make this reality.

Anyway, only a quickie as I must have my last meal and get to bed, Bodyattack to teach tommorow with a head cold, NOT GOOD!!!!

Have been doing my rounds of the blogs and all the girls hat are so close to comp now are keping it together and going well, you are all amazing and I can't wait for some pics.
Hopefully I get to meet you all in July!!! YAY!!

The Decision was easy!!!................

Chicken of course!!

94 days out from my first comp, in comp prep, it was the only choice!!

Remember - 'Do or Die' time, I CHOOSE 'DO'!!

Hope you all had a great weekend, enjoy your short week,

Shar x

Place your bets.............What's it gonna be?

Chicken

Or

Chocolate?

It'll all be worth it! stay focus Shar, stay focussed!!

CALLING ALL FIGURE COMPETITORS............................

I don't know if this is 'normal behaviour' (probably not) and things will probably come and go from 'THE LIST', but I have had to start an 'after comp list' either bits I want to eat straight after, my favourites, or stuff I want the couple of days after.
Don't get me wrong, I am not fighting myself and wanting to give in now, just sometimes look at stuff and think oh that will be nice after comp!! for example .............

Peanut butter on toast!!!! *dreamy looking face, tastebuds watering*

and for sure with all the Easter talk and choc around, some of these babies will be in my comp bag for after..........

Cadbury's
Cream
Eggs

Also I have to go to KOKO BLACK!!! when I am in Melbourne and eat some of that devine high quality looking chocolate, does anyone want to volunteer to take me and perhaps join me for a choccie or two ;) (don't all rush at once!! :)

Anyway, enough thinking of food I'm not allowed and back focussing on the good stuff! I do feel so much better eaing clean. I don't get sluggish I'm not so tired, my skin is better etc etc.

Have a great weekend

I'm Back........... YAY!!!

HI All

Firstly, I would like to say Thank you for all your comments especially the ones asking where I am and stating that really I should be updating by now!! :) It is really nice to know people read!

So missing in action for a while, so update time it is!

General

I am currently working extra hours covering as Group Fitness Co-ordinator at our city club in Perth, alongside doing my own club n the northern suburbs.

I love the city club, it has such a different feel. My Bodyattack class there is great, I love the members.

Kids are all good, 'my boy' has started training with his footie club, he's so excited. Went out got his boots, shorts and socks and when we got back put them on and went out to the oval to have a kick about, how cute. Just his mouth guard to get fitted.

'my angel' is growing up fast and is more a little miniture me at the moment than a angel! :)

Comp Prep

So as you have probably gathered from the last few posts and lack of , I was waivering a litle in my commitment and my decision.

I faltered a couple of times and had to just sit, focus and make my decision.

'Sarge' wasn' impressed with me at one stage and I don't blame her at all!

BUT.......................

My decision was made. 16 weeks out, do or die??? and I am please dto say I choose DO!!!!!

16 weeks hit and I have been so focussed, I can hardly believe it myself!

Food is now fuel and not something that taste nice for 5 mins, my muscles NEED it, not my taste buds! Cardio (although I don't mind it) is something that has to be done to get the legs into the best condition my legs can be, which isn't great but I can but try.

Of course the change in diet and cardio came at 16 weeks out. I can truely say I have been working my arse off (lets hope so! LOL).

I am prepared with all my food, as displayed here,

my freezer draw.........................

eating all my meals, training very hard with hubby and cardio, well how much cardio can you do in a week!!????

Here is my cardio heaven!! one of our spare rooms, a treddie and a tele is all I need!

Anyway I do have a few more bits and pieces to tell you but have run out of time, bed is calling and I must get my sleep!

I will be back in the next few days to update again, no long gaps anymore!!

PS - Pepsi Max free for 7 weeks 1 day!
