Headspace 360

I am posting today from work. I woke up this morning feeling pretty good, so made and ate my brekkie, got ready and came into work. Mistake. By the time I got here the sinus pain that I had last night (it was pretty bad last night) came back to bite me on the ass. I am halfway through my shift and am trying to survive as long as I can...which probably won't be much longer...this aircon is not doing me any favours.

So I am still off the training which I am itching to get back into but at the same time I think my body is loving the rest. But I have also had plenty of time to think over my options and goals. And I have decided the following. I will not be doing the INBA comps. There is no way that I can be ready in time in a healthy manner. It's not a dieting competition so there will be no starvation to get lean enough. And I won't get up on stage unless I am ready to get up on stage. SO...I will be doing IFBB only, which is 11 weeks away today.

I thought that I would be feeling disappointed if I had pulled out of the comps, especially since I had been looking forward to competing in the Olympia this year. But I don't - actually I am feeling really positive about doing the IFBB (NSW/Australian Titles). I like doing IFBB comps so why not? And I have 11 weeks now so am well ahead of where I need to be.

Speaking to Miss Ferny last night and I am going to be accountable to her for the next 11 weeks so that I don't feel so alone. Besides, doing my own training/diet etc, I have slacked off on actually having a SET diet plan and also taking my measurements. So we made a deal. I will now be emailing all my plans etc, and measurements, through on a weekly basis to her. And if I fall out of line, I expect her to haul my ass back in. So I guess on the 100 Day Challenge, she is now one of my recruits :)

Despite being sick my water intake has been well up - I know I need to be keeping the fluids up especially now. Food has been good, yesterday I did a bit of intuitive eating and included some bread and bananas in my meals (which I don't normally do) as I felt being unwell that it is not a bad idea to give my body nutritious food it is craving. I even managed to keep my calories and carbs within my set range, despite having bread and extra oats in my day. So thumbs up for that :)

Rest - well I can't be faulted on that for this last few days. If I have any more rest you will need to get a chisel to remove my butt from the couch!! Lol. Seriously I have definitely caught up on the rest thing.

And for those waiting on movie reviews (cos I am such an expert), well Benjamin Button never happened, but the nice man at the video store let me swap it for another movie. So I got one called The Last Word, with Ray Romano and Wynona Ryder in it. It was very bizarre. About a guy who makes his living from writing suicide notes for people who are about to top themselves, who falls in love with a client's sister. Yep, weird!

After that I watched Twilight...FINALLY! Yep, it was pretty good. Not that good that I would watch it every single day, at least once (would you believe I have a friend that actually did that, for like, a month!!) or develop some weird ass cult obsession with Edward, but pretty good, enough that I *might* consider reading the book/s. Don't hold me to that though...that's just a 'maybe'...

Anyway kiddies I best be getting back to my Sudafed and Kleenex before my head explodes (no really, I think it may).

So til next time, train hard (and do some for me, please!!) and be good.
