Been a quiet day after the gym, i settled down and read some of my Stephen King book, Under the Dome, I love getting into some science fiction. Thought about doing some extra cardio this afternoon, but i have an hour to do in the morning at 4.15am then a big back workout bit later so gotta rest up a bit.

I have been into fitness and sport for over 30 years, i started throwing the Hammer, Shott and Discus at school and played Rugby, Soccer and also cometed in 100 and 200 metre races. Over the past 9 yrs I have been a personal trainer, after doing nearly 22 yrs in the NSW Police, and I didnt think that I carried alot of body fat, that is until i started training for this bodybuilding comp nearly 12 months ago.

I thought i would be able to get rid of it in a couple of months and see the abs, how wrong was I, here I am 11 weeks away from the comp and they are now only just starting to show through. This would without doubt be the hardest training that I have ever done and am loving the challenge of it all.

Sure there are cravings, everyday, mainly to just eat some crap food. I understand more now about how my clients struggle with their huge weight problems.

What keeps me going? I have made myself accountable right from the start. I got myself a trainer who specialises in bodybuilding and he wants to see progress photos every couple of weeks. I post photos on facebook, so that people can see what I'm doing, and I am not going to let them down now after all the support that they have given me. I am accountable to them and I am accountable to you who read this, if anyone.

Have a great Sunday night and will catch you through the week.
