Fitness show day!

October 20, 2015

Two days before show day final preparations for show day begins.

Fitness show - Peak week!

September 23, 2015

Prepping for a show is an emotional rollercoaster! One minute I'm happy with the way I'm looking, the next I'm panicking and wishing I had more time.

Fitness show - 7 weeks out

August 10, 2015

This week I cut out my porridge in the mornings, so now I'm on zero carbs and high fats (mainly Cashews). I've also upped my cardio to twice a day. My day looks like this ...

Fitness show - 8 weeks out

August 03, 2015
