Aww thanks everyone for the comments.  I have been running mad trying to keep up with everything so am a bit behind but getting there.  I did have an appointment with Nadia today for coffee and as usual, we got chatting and couldn’t stop and my budgeted hour turned into two!  It was fun, and much needed on my part actually.  Nadia is looking fantastic and very ready for her show in 5 weeks!  She’s not even doing any cardio, her body just responded really well to the diet.

It is my dad’s birthday today.  He would have been 70 years old.  We visited his grave and placed some Black Beauty and Iceberg roses there for him.  I can’t believe it is nearly 20 years since he died.

It was great to receive everyone’s support – I’ve been doing it pretty tough but I’m still hanging in there!  I was so hungry last night and unfortunately I couldn’t (or didn’t) hold out, I had some pasta before I went to bed.  I felt so much better after I ate it!  Not that I can justify it that way.  But, today I’ve been very stingy and had a no carb day, and did it easy.  I also walked for an hour this morning, and then again tonight for 45 mins.

I decided on the spur of the moment to take some progress pics.  The changes are pretty minute, just so slow.  I have a lot more muscle than previously, I just can’t budge the fat it seems!  And, this is my suit, how’s that for some bling?!  Excuse the lopsidedness of it for the moment!

So tomorrow will be back and chest training, and cardio x 2.  I’m also going to experiment with my diet a bit by having more carbs and less protein.

Ok if anyone has emailed me (personal), I’m sorry but my time is stretched a bit at the moment.  I will get back to you when things settle!  This weekend I need to relearn my posing routine and start looking for an outfit or two for my photo shoot/s.  Anyone have any favourite poses they think I should try?  Must search for some of those too.  Going to have a studio shoot and a gym/fitness shoot.  Booke hair and makeup today.
