Hiatus... and 2013

Hi internet. 

Sorry for the hiatus. Since blogging, I competed in my first INBA competition, had a photoshoot with the super amazing Emily Skye, moved from ACT to QLD, and put back on a whooooole chunk of weight that I slavvvvved to get rid of last year :( 

I thought I'd share some of the pics from my competition & my shoot in an effort to remind myself what I am capable of. 

I feel so ashamed & angry with myself for gaining back the weight. I made some wrong choices over the past few months, and I am determined to compete again in the QLD titles in May 2013, and I WILL KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF. I bring in a leaner, more muscley physique this year, and I will learn from my mistakes, and make the right choices after the competition is over & maintain my healthy lifestyle :) 

Ok so the pics - I am in the green bikini :)

Here's a glorious before & after shot

And here's some pics from my shoot with Emily

So what's happening in 2013 you ask?? 

My wonderful trainer & mentor from last year Amanda (check out her brand new website www.dailydosefitness.com.au) is competing herself this year so I couldn't work with her again. I have chosen Evan from Evan Godbee's Muscle Academy to be my coach this year. I am just about to start a pre-season with him for 1 month, then will be into another 12 week prep ready for stepping on stage on Sunday 26 May :) 

I am interested to see how this prep will be similar/different from last year's. I am hoping to follow more of a IIFYM (if it fits your macros) approach, meaning that my diet won't consist of chicken, broccoli & brown rice haha :P so that I can incorporate my eating with hubby's a bit more, as we lead very separate lives last time which I didn't love. 

Also, have some exciting news on the horizon regarding possible sponsorship?? So will see how that goes!! 

I will try to post more of my workouts, recipes, hints & tips this year, so you can follow my journey & even try out some of the things I do :) 

So let's embrace 2013 and all it has to offer!!!
