5 weeks to the comp

7 July 

Over the half way point now! My sore throat and lethargic bod was all sorted well and truly in about 48 hours last week.  Thank goodness for speedy recoveries! 

My early starts are still continuing…with my earliest wake up at 4am on Friday.  It seems so weird and I’ve never had it before.  I’m not hungry when I wake, and I don’t take any fat burners/thermos so I’m not winding my system up.  I just wake up; and am wide awake ready to go – so I go!

I am still sorting out what bikini (or bikinis) to wear. I have it down to a choice of 4.  I like to wear a different one at judging and at the night show. My final choices are red lycra, deep red velvet, green or burgundy. It will probably be a last minute decision.

I’ve started working on my routine.  The first half is sorted, so over the next week I’ll try to piece the rest of it together.  I’m not really too focused on it since they don’t count towards a placing.

Tuesday.  Food 100%.  No cardio (still on throat recovery). Trained Chest/Bis                    

Wednesday. Food 100%.  Spin 45 mins. Trained Legs

Thursday.  Food 100%.  Spin 40 mins. Trained Shoudlers/Tris

Friday.  Food 100%.  Spin 50 mins. Trained Back.

Saturday.   Food 100%.  Had a sleep in today (6.30am). Rest day from weights and did 30 minutes of interval sprints at the gym after breakfast.

Sunday.  Food 100%.  No cardio, no weights.

Monday.  Food 100%.  Spin 60 mins…the last 10minutes were pretty tough! Trained chest & biceps. 

I’ve really noticed how I react to low carb and high carb days the last couple of weeks. On Thursday I was looking (and feeling) teeny-tiny-deflated-flat in the gym but come Friday arvo after a feast on carbs I was looking a lot better… so I hope I can nail that on my carb up for competition.
