2007 - Pride and Accomplishment

Hilde the magazine star

Ms Hilde is in the latest Women's Health & Fitness - she looks beautiful! Make sure you check her out!

Today's session was shoulders and back - usually I do back first but switching for awhile. I did though, start off with my big back exercise - sumo deadlifts. I beat last time's effort, did 10 reps at 132lb, 8 reps at 154lb, and then 2 reps at 176lb and back to 154lb for another 6. That is my best effort to date on sumo's. Next time I will beat that. On regular power deadlifts my previous best was 172lb for 2 I think, a long time ago. I don't deadlift very often but I love it.

Then I did some awesome shoulders. Been going up and down rack for side raises, then did some static holds, along with some other stuff.

Have my little phone interview tomorrow for the Sunday Times article. Having a few issues with picture quality at this stage - which is why everyone should get professional photos taken if possible!

I got my Next G network all set up today - I stayed in the store while we set it up - glad we did otherwise it would have taken me forever. Something always goes wrong. So now I'm completely mobile!

Di and Alicia - stop that bloody rain now please!!! Maybe I will continue with 1 real coffee a day Di :)

Sam - yeah Jodie has the full collection too and I'm threatening to borrow them from her very soon.

Lisa - thank you!

Mike - Hi! Seinfeld is my all time fave - what an absolute classic show. I can relate so many things back to a Seinfeld episode of some description! Thanks for your good wishes.

Had another awesome day today energy wise. I can take on the world when I feel 'normal' like this!

I tanned at the solarium today - man was it hot in there. I don't go anywhere for at least 2 hours after a session, ever since Adam told me I looked like a glow stick when I rocked up at the gym one time straight after :) I have a REALLY good accelerator. Tingle factor - 1 zillion.

Had 2 lovely compliments today - was in buying a stash of earplugs :) and the lady behind the counter said I had a lovely physique and asked if I did a lot of training :) Then was asked if I'd dropped a few kilo's by a guy at the gym (latest Body Blitz winner, Adam - can check him out at www.sportzblitz.com.au)- of course he added 'not that I was fat or anything before'. But no, I haven't dropped any kilo's - boy if I dropped a few kilo's I'd be getting very close to comp weight. 3kg on me would be highly noticeable.

Checking out...
