8 WEEKS OUT

Well - Virgo inside says '7 Weeks 5 days actually Shar!'

But who's counting! :)

Anyway update time. The last week has been a little testing to say the least.

Work, Kids, house probs, Les Mills Launch time, tiredness, training etc etc, but you know what. WHO CARES? anyone out there care? no, not really, do I want anyone to care? no not really.

I made the choice to compete, I made the choice to turn around a dream and make it reality, so what the hell am I doing harping on that, I'm tired, that I'm busy, that there's other shit to deal with.

Just shut up, stay positive and focussed and get on with it.

With help and guidence from Super Sam, my mumma, my husband, my dad (helping with kids), a few supportive work friends, I AM DOING THIS! and i'll be damned if anything or anyone is going to stop me.

I also have even more incentive now too!! I haven't really e mailed much info home to my mum or sis in the UK, like updates etc as I have wanted to have some progress to show.
So I did last week e mail some before and after pics and an update, I also e mailed my mum the link to this blog.

She has since comeback, as any mum would might I add :) with some great comments and total and unconditional love and positivity that it made me cry.
You see, in her day!! ;) my mumma trained and would have loved to make it to the stage, but for various reasons didn't, but she appreciates what it takes to be on this journey.

So Mumma, if your reading this post, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DREADFULLY, Your path through life hasn't been easy but you are so strong, I have learnt alot from you, sometimes I took the long way round but always ended up in the direction you pointed me in the first place.
THANK YOU for your positive energy and with your strength behind me I can do this! x

So moving forward this week, Sam seems pleased with how I am at this stage out. I have a long prep! 16 weeks and I'm half way!! 8 down, 8 to go.

I still have my hip flexors when I grimice enough! and she even made me wear bikini bottoms not shorts last week so we could see them more!!
Skinfolds have held as is on top half, still dropping a little on bottom half and measurements are dropping still downstairs YAY!!
Weight has slowed a little but thats cool.
I have been down through my clothes and made it to my Small clothes section of the wardrobe about 3 weeks ago, last week I was wearing baggy small clothes!! and now I have new Small, small, clothes!
Infact if I want to go lower in black pants I will have to start looking in other shops than the regulars as I have no idea where to get small, small clothes from.

Anyways, thats about it from me tonight, sleep is needed! cardio first thing tomorrow, then Bodyattack and Bodybalance classes in morning, then another Bodyattack tomorrow night! but hey, I'M NOT MOANING!! :) :)

Speak soon, I am doing the reading rounds of blogs just limited time to comment will make sure I get some in this week!
