So after much thought I have decided to hit the stage again in September at the INBA Queensland titles after the birth of my third child in May 2011. My last comp was the INBA Natural Olympia in 2009 here on the Gold Coast in which i placed 3rd. My initial plan was to completely cease breast-feeding (which I hopefully will have in 2 weeks) then work really hard at getting my muscle mass back to where it was pre baby then build more mass before leaning down for the INBA Brisbane and ANB Asia Pacific’s in 2013, this has slightly changed however due to my lack of patience ha ha, and my burning desire to be part of our awesome Xtreme team who will all be competing in the Qld titles.

12 weeks out from the INBA QLD’s. In the past week I have managed to drop 1.5ml and my weight has actually gone down by 500g. I am certainly starting to get very hungry except for the meal after training, I don’t find myself searching for my dinner yet as my body is not used to eating

So many people have the wrong idea when it comes to cardio in terms of fat loss. I am constantly hearing from hundreds of clients the same thing over again “I run 5 x per week and I cant lose weight” or my favourite ha ha “I do 3 spin classes and 3 zumba classes per week and I still cant lose weight”.  

Now lets get one thing straight, you do not have to complete HIT (high intense training) cardio to lose body fat, you will certainly have a high level of fitness but you are able to get this in a much more effective way whilst losing body fat and gaining or maintaining lean muscle. Lean muscle mass will burn fat at rest so it is imperative to include a strength training program into your weekly regime. Strength training and especially HIIT (high intense interval

In the last week I have dropped 3ml and increased my weight on the scales by 1 kilo. I have dropped the breast-feeding right down to 2 feeds per day, the control crying was successful and I plan to be completely finished in 2 weeks.

10 WEEKS OUT! Wow I cant believe how fast the time is flying, its 10 weeks out today and my results are in, I dropped 2.5 ml this past week and my weight stayed the same which is awesome. I unfortunately didn’t drop any off my legs or lower back but my coach says more than likely due to hormones from the breast-feeding as my body will hold onto these areas until the hormones have regulated again. Prolactin is not my friend! ☹ I will be giving my baby her last feed next Sunday

22/7/12 9 WEEKS OUT!

9 weeks out woohoo! The callipers showed that I had dropped 2.5 ml and I have actually gained 1kg since I started show prep, very happy about this, I’m now sitting at 54kg, (I’m 157cm). This week Ash has changed my breakfast protein from a shake to eggs or meat… and he has also swapped my good fat energy source in meal 3 to another source, he has also upped my cardio a little! Its cheat meal day today yey! I’m guessing the cheat meal will be going soon so I’ll enjoy it while it lasts. Now that I’m getting much leaner I notice the change in my body a few hours after my
