D-Fine8 is my new best friend lol
I am glad I have waited until now to use it. I was starting to get really tired and finding it hard to keep up with my training, working and with the little one so it has come as a nice little helper :)
I went to order it through the ASN website ($99.95) which is where I get a lot of my supplements from but ended up doing a google search and someone was selling them on Ebay! They come from America but even with postage it was still $30 cheaper. AND they say you can request a flavour (which I did), if you dont they send you the standard Fruit punch flavour. I asked for Green apple, got fruit punch, wrote an email to complain and they are now sending me out the green apple for $40 ($30 cheaper again yay). So I got 2 for the price of 1, gotta love it!!!!
So if anyone is looking for some google Ebay, the lady selling them is "Lamuscle", she sends them straight away and besides this mix up with mine has all good reviews on Ebay.
I have been frustrated the past couple of weeks as it has been hard to book bubs in at the creche at the gym. All the mums are now back in the gym as kids are back in school and all the spots are being booked up for a week at a time, NOT HAPPY!!!!!!!! So last week I got up at 5.30am and headed to the gym and was home before bubs woke up - something I used to do every morning but since having bub have not had to do an early morning session. I really could not have done it without my new friend lol
Ok, so that's enough about D-fine8!!
Training
Monday - chest/biceps - 50 push-ups, bench chest press, incline chest press, pec fly, hammer curls, seated curls, cable curls
Tuesday - cardio, boxing bootcamp
Wednesday - cardio
Thursday - hams/tri - lunges, jump squats, stiff legged deads, machine curl, standing ham kickback
Friday - cardio
Saturday - light cardio (kind of off day)
Sunday - bootcamp
Diet has been not 100% this week AGAIN!! I had 2 days of having a couple of treats and some wine. Not good but sometimes this happens when I am not watching when my lady friend is coming. Should have known why the sugar demon was calling my name lol
In saying that the scales still went down 1.1kg this week :) And I did my measurements this month and have lost 0.5 inches off boobs :( arms, hips and thighs.
I am still 4.2kg away from pre preggo weight and WILL be there by the end of the month before we head off to Bali!!!!!

March already, wholly moley :)
I have been very busy (as usual lol) with work and everyday life running around with a 10 month old. He is crawling and into EVERYTHING!! But I love it, he is so proud of himself getting around now and she just follows me all day, and burn off all his energy. He is already pulling himself up on things all day and just loves to stand, who knows how long it will be before he walks...I am quite sure it will be before his first birthday.
So training has been sporadic in the last week but thankfully because of my good diet I have still lost weight. With working two days a week and then the other 3 mornings I have Tyler's swimming, mothers group etc I have found it hard to get to the gym so have had to do home workouts and just running. I am going to miss mothers group next week and book him in at the creche otherwise I am just not getting done what I need and want to. I did a great shoulder workout on Monday and felt sore for a couple of days. Swimming with Tyler on Tuesday morning was a bit painful, lifting and carrying an 11kg baby for 40 mins lol
I have just received an email that Monica Brant is coming to Perth. She has always been to Melbourne, Sydney etc but never Perth. Neither has Jen Hendershott's Phat Camp. I am always emailing them to ask if they can move it to Perth one year and thankfully it has happened. I am glad Monica is as I was quite surprised with the cost. It is $730 and I am quite sure when I looked into doing Jen's Phat Camp it was $450 or there abouts. So I am glad one of them is coming as I wouldn't have been able to afford the camp plus flighs and accommodation!!!!! The camp is early April just a few days after I get back from Bali so it is going to be a very exciting couple of months :)
Training
Monday - shoulders, bis
Tuesday - walking/bootcamp
Wednesday - day off
Thursday - legs/abs
Friday - run
Saturday - walk
Sunday - bootcamp
Happy training

Wowee, I had my body fat done last week and OMG it read 28%!!! I was really hoping for it to be wrong but I know in my heart it is correct.
Even though I have been losing weight and building muscle I am still A LONG WAY from where I want to be.
That being said I have decided that I will not be ready by May and so will concentrate on losing weight steadily and building/keeping muscle so I don't burn myself out. Last time I competed I didnt have a baby to look after and I wasn't so far away from my goal.
Having a look at the competition calendars the next comp is 8 October with the NABBA and I was hoping there was one in Sep and Oct.....but INBA and NABBA are the same date, not happy!!
Oh well, hopefully someone changes dates or I can do another one before the year is out.
I am excited about tomorrow as good friends of ours get married. I know it is going to be beautiful and so much fun :)
I will try and blog again next week as I know I have been useless.
Happy Training xx

My diet
My diet for the past couple of months has been much the same. Here is a breakdown of what I have been eating.
M1: Egg white omelet, scrambled egg whites, wheatbix occasionally
M2: smoked salmon/chicken/lean meat and salad, tuna wrap, chicken stirfry
M3: tuna/salmon and salad
M4: Protein shake or nuts and a couple of tablespoons of yoghurt
M5: Lean meat and 1 cup vegetables
M6: Protein shake
As you can see it is very low in carbs. My body does not handle carbs very well, so every Wednesday and Saturday I had some more carbs to my diet like a sandwich or chicken and rice for M2 and sweet potato at dinner. I have a cheat meal on either Wednesday or Saturday. I try and make it during the day so I have time to burn it off and I make sure I do hard cardio that day.
I am a creature of habit so my food doesn't seem to change too much and I am not too strict at the moment with measurements as I am still losing weight at a good rate. In another 2 to 3 weeks I will probably change it up a bit.

Happy first day of February :)
How quick is this year going to fly by??? I want to pack as much into the year as I possibly can. This year is a year for me and getting back to the stage. I don’t care if people think that is selfish but when one is used to having so much time to do what they like when they like, it can be quite hard when all of a sudden you have this little person that needs nearly all of your time!!!!
Last week was a great week. I finished off my course on Thursday and I was in the office learning the ins and outs on Friday.
Our acccounts lady is on leave at the end of today so it will be all up to me. Not
ideal only having 2 days to sit with her and learn everything – nothing like being thrown in the deep end to find your feet quickly lol
Tuesday night training with the girls was a fizzle!! Only 2 girls when I usually have up to 16. I suppose you have to get used to people piking every now and then. Hopefully tonights session will be good. Sunday was the usual 4 to 5 girls. People are always going out Saturday night so I always know to expect the numerous texts saying they can’t make it!!
I have been reading up on a weight management/energy supplement called Define8. ASN stock it and they rave about how good it is and the results not only they but all their client’s receive. I was contemplating going on Hydroxycut again as I have had it before and found it good. I just can’t take the recommended full amount as I can’t sleep at night.
Now that I am working out more and in the office a couple of days a week I need a bit more of a jump start for my training. I will probably buy shortly but not start taking it for another few weeks when my cardio is upped more.
Training
Monday – Boxing
Tuesday – walk am 45mins, Cardio boxing pm
Wednesday – run with 5 50m sprints
Thursday – chest/biceps
• Push-ups
• Chest press barbell
• Incline chest press dumbell
• Pec flye barbell
• Ez bar bi curl
• Hammer curls
• Machine bicep curl
Friday – walk 60mins
Saturday – off
Sunday – cardio and weights bootcamp
I was annoyed that I wasn't able to get to the gym for another weights session as I have not trained legs/hams now for 2 weeks :( I have to remember to take my workout gear to the office as my gym is right there and since I don't have bubs I dont have to worry about putting him into the creche!!!
Diet
Diet has been much the same the past couple of weeks. I don’t want to change at the moment as I am still losing weight. In the month of January I lost 3.2kg, yay. I am such a boring dieter sometimes, i just find it easier to eat the same things without having to come up with new meals each week!!!!
I am loving my tuna wraps (my husband not so much lol) I have tuna with a tbls of low fat mayo, chopped red onion, tomato, cucumber, lettuce and a wholemeal wrap. So so yummy.
Also, another great salad recipe I got from a friend this week:
• Diced:
- Cucumber
- Tomato
- yellow capsicum
- red onion
• 200g chicpeas
• mint leaves
• parsley
• corriander
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 2 tbs lemon juice
• 3 tbs italian dressing
Give it a try, sooooooo tasty :)

Wow this week has gone fast...
Again, another VERY busy week. I had an accounting course for two days and they were very full days and for someone who has no accounting background it was quite hard to get my head around at first. I still have another day next week but I have actually been enjoying it.
It has been really really nice actually using my brain instead of thinking about feeds, sleep times and dirty nappies lol and having adult time without babies has been very different but nice!
So unfortunately there was no "gym" as such but I did a hard boxing class on Monday nights. MY GOD!!! 45 minutes of intense boxings and cardio with some weights. Bootcamp on Tuesday, walking Wednesday, Thursday and having an off day today.
Sunday I will have bootcamp again so we will be doing a circut weights class and the girls cant wait. I have very full classes now and the girls are bringing along more friends each week. I may have to see about starting up another night and getting someone to look after the little one for a couple of hours.
I am still down another kg this week which is nice even though I havent been at the gym as such and not eating my usual as I hve not been very organised. I have done a big shop today and will make sure all my meals are sorted this weekend so I will not run into any problems during the week.
I have a big weekend this weekend with hens nights and baby showers. I have allocated Saturday night as my "cheat meal" so I can have a couple of drinks and not worry to much. So long as I do my cardio workout in the morning and LOTS of dancing that night I will work off all the calories lol
So just a short update this week and not too in depth with the diet and workouts!!!!

Good fun :)
Bootcamp has been getting very busy in the past week. I have not needed to advertise the classes as I have had enough interest through word of mouth and people driving by. I was walking my dog and bubba the morning after a group session when a guy stopped me asking if I was the trainer from the oval the night before....his wife was interested in joining, she hasn't turned up yet so we will see.
I am thinking of buying a banner to put up when I am training people so people walking or driving buy can get my contact details :)
I would love to do more classes but hubby is out Monday and Thursday nights so it makes it hard as we need someone at home for the baby. Maybe in another few months we might be able to work something out. I much prefer personal training to sitting behind a desk, I figured if I do 3-4 classes a week I will be earning about the same but only working 4 hours lol
Training
I have been working out every day,weights 3 days, bootcamp 2 days, running 1 day, walking 3 days. Along with tightening my diet this has seen me drop 4kgs in the past month.
Diet
My diet has consisted of
M1- egg white omelette
M2 - chicken and a cup of salad or veggies with pineapple
M3 - tuna or salmon and veggies
M4 - nuts with protein shake
M5 - fish or chicken with veggies or stir fry with lamb
If still hungry I might have a protein shake
Once a week I have a cheat meal and some red wine, yummo :)
I am nearly back to pre preggo weight, only 4 more kgs to go, yay. (why oh why did i put on so much lol). Then buckle down for comp prep for NABBA/WWFsouthern hemispheres in May!!!!
