I’m drawing upon all my strength to not only type this but to also stay awake. That’s right, today was leg day and we all know what that means don’t we. LOL!!
I’ve physically hit the wall this evening folks. Lets see, the day started off with a 5km ride to work, followed by leg training at the base gym and then finishing the day with a leisurely 5km ride back home with a head wind. It doesn’t get much better then that let me tell you. LOL!! And you know what, I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is my choice, so therefore I can’t complain about it. So on that note, I’m taking myself off to the shower followed by an early night in bed as this will be my reward.
Enjoy the rest of your evening!

I never thought I’d see the day where I couldn’t wait to get out of bed just so I could ride my bike to work and go to the gym. But that’s exactly what happened after a week of being on holidays. I know, I’m a creature of habit and I like my routine. Things just seem to get done and run more smoothly that way.
I’m almost bouncing of the walls with enthusiasm and excitement! All I can say is that I am loving life!

“Some people’s food cravings remain constant; for example, they always crave ice cream. Other people go through “food kicks,” craving peanut butter one week, blue cheese dressing the next week and chocolate bars the following week.
Neither situation is accidental nor coincidental. If your emotional issues remain unaddressed, your food craving will remain constant. If your emotional issues change, so will your food cravings. The only parallel between both the constant and the changing food cravings is this: There is some underlying emotional issue crying out for your attention.
By “emotional issues” I don’t necessarily mean deep psychological matters requiring therapy. Food cravings often stem from basic unmet needs for fun, excitement, or love — issues most would consider “normal” and within our power to self-heal.
Emotional issues connected to food cravings usually fall into one of these categories:
Stress, tension, anxiety, fear, or impatience
Depression or feeling blue
Feeling tired, having low energy levels
Unmet needs for fun, play, excitement, or recreation;
too much work and not enough play
A desire for love, selection, appreciation, romance, or sexual satisfaction
Anger, resentment, bitterness, or frustration
Emptiness, insecurity, or a desire for comfort”

“In competition, I’ve had to deal with the size of my bust taking away from the appearance of my chest development, so I have had to really concentrate on my upper pecs while training. Lower pectoral exercised are useless as far as women are concerned, because all you see on a female bodybuilder are the tops and middle parts of the pecs. My chest routine is built on incline movements to boost upper-pec development and improve the all-important pec-delt tie-ins. In the offseason, I do incline barbell presses, four sets of each for five to eight reps. Precontest, I add either dumbbell flyes or cable crossovers to refine the muscles.”
