The 2nd definition of insanity

We all know the first one – doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.  Well here’s the second one – getting up at frickin’ 2.30am after 3 hours sleep.  To make it worse, my internet was down.   So I rang the cable people at 3.30 :)   Bugger them, it was down last week for a whole day.  It’s working a little now, but so slow it’s worse than dial up.  I’m over it.

Anyway, so I’m to meet Nadia at 8am for posing training – I will be a right old mess by then!  I have to do my cardio first though.   I trained 3 days in a row the last 3 days, playing catch up training from my trip away.  I was feeling a bit tired yesterday, I had a decent night’s sleep the night before last, and then also after training I fell in a hole and needed another good sleep.  I was tired again by evening, but of course waking up at 2.30 won’t help things today.  Dieting for a comp really does mess up your sleeping patterns.  It’s the low carbs, has happened to me many times before.  The other thing you have to deal with is the hunger – you are awake for so many additional hours!  But, to be honest, I haven’t really even been that hungry. 

For some reason my neck is so sore! Like muscular sore, and it hurts all over to touch.  I have no idea what I have done to make it that sore.  My knee has it’s ups and downs – overall is doing much better.  I squatted on my own the other day and decided to do higher reps (for me that is reps of 10!!) and did 50kg at that weight for 3 sets, followed by some bodyweight Bulgarian split squats and walking lunges.  Followed with heavy Romanian deadlifts, Swiss ball bridges into curls, ”butt crunchers” and pull throughs and finished off with a set of DB Swings.   It wasn’t a huge workout (kind of haphazard) but my quads got really really sore because they have been neglected a bit due to this injury.

My weight and body fat is dropping slowly still so that is good.  I’m now into the 112′s, and have a 6 pack, just 7mm on my abs now, so need to lose another few there.  I have veins now – I will never be overly vascular but it’s nice to see a few here and there.  I will probably have a carb up day soon – maybe even today if I can get my sh*t together and put my figures into Calorie King.  I think my body needs a boost.  Might do that now in fact.

Our super special has been a super duper success, lots have joined with our current special offer.  Have also had some sensational transformations coming through recently, I can’t keep up with updating the gallery!

Well thanks lovely people for the kind words when I was feeling a bit down!  I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment to brighten my day :)   Have a good one everyone.

  • I feel for you with the sleep. I haven’t been sleeping that well this week either (busy with work). Have been thinking about you and wondering how you’ve been going. Glad to hear things are still moving for you.
