In the last week I have come to the decision that I'm not going to compete in May and will wait until the September comps. It was a hard decision but I think it's necessary. Here are the main reasons for postponing competing:
My health - I'm now getting treatment for my hormonal imbalance. I have d ...

After my last rant, I'm feeling a lot more sane today! A couple of days off has really helped and I feel like I'm ready to rock again. I'd reached the point where I was dreading training - I've never felt that before! Training is why I get up the morning....it's what keeps me going through the week, ...

So it seems life has got in the way of prep this week. I didn't think things could get much worse this year but this week has really topped it. I do hate to whinge and am trying to see the positives in life at the moment. Updates for me:

Today it happened again but out of the blue, I started to feel sick at about1.30pm for no apparent re ...

I finally bought a new laptop yesterday so I can start blogging again properly! I'm still feeling great after my B12 supplementation - I honestly can't believe the difference and don't know how I was getting through the day before. The only side effect I've noticed is how hungry I am! I want to eat ...

Went to bed at 8pm last night! I was shattered but feeling great after a long sleep today!! I always seems to feel better on the days that I'm working obscenely long hours. Maybe it's because I'm distracted. I think for next 15 weeks being distracted is going to help so much with cravings. If m ...

I've just got onto supplementing with vitamin B12 and I can't tell you the difference it makes! Going from feeling tired every minute of everyday and constantly thinking when I could next take a nap, to now not even thinking about it. Before I was honestly scared that I wouldn't be able to make it t ...
