Got to the gym early this morning even though I have the week off work and completed 50 minutes on the treadmill and then the usual abs session. I went straight to the stables as the horse was having new shoes put on today and needed all the mud washing off him and the fields worth of mud picking out of his feet before releasing him to the farrier. Back home and it was breakfast time, coffee time and sleep time. I slept for about two hours which is outrageous as I don’t know why I am so tired suddenly.

Woke up a bit bleary eyed so had a shower to wake me up and then headed off to the gym to complete an hours worth of cardio on the treadmill and my favourite shoulder session – accompanied by my new partner in crime Jamie. Had a killer session and worked my shoulders that much that I couldn’t feel them towards the end. Back home and had another meal and you guessed it another sleep – I might need to look into why I need so much sleep at the moment.

Arrived back at the gym at tea time and this time completed 30 minutes cardio on the bloody treadmill again and then finished off with a tricep workout in which Jamie threw some curve balls with some additional exercises which I think I will feel tomorrow. Then off to see Sexy Sophie at her dance studio to go through my new routine for the finals. She is a total genius, the routine is amazing and extremely different. We managed to get through the full routine a few times and I have the music to familiarise myself with until the next practise. I am even smiling just thinking and writing about it in this blog its that amazing.

I have felt a lot more positive today, although I did have a blip this afternoon in that I thought I was fighting a losing battle. However going back to the gym in the evening and being pushed to get more reps out and increase my weight got rid of those thoughts and then seeing and practising my new routine just made me want to push even harder with my diet and training so that I am more than ready for the final.

Just before we move on to Facebook ‘Friend’ message of the day, I would like to inform you all that I won a box of CNP Profusion protein bars today and they taste amazing! I will have to hide them until after my competition.

So Facebook ‘Friend’ message of the day;

‘Friend’: Hi you look lovely. You look like a strong woman. Are you a dominatrix?

Me: No I am not, just a person trying their hand at body building

‘Friend’: Have you though about becoming a dominatrix?

Me: No

‘Friend’: Can I please be your slave?

Me: I have already told you I am not a dominatrix. My page is focused on body building and fitness so if you don’t have anything along those lines to discuss I am going to block you

‘Friend’: well can I be your fitness slave?

Blocked.
