Hey Em..you'll have to help me with the details of Rae's shows as i'm not familiar with the organizations in Australia for the post under the show thread.
Re: Em's Journal
Hi Em. Just want to know what part of Victoria you're from? I'm a Melbourne girl and I lived in the beachside suburb of Elwood. I'm now living in Canada, near Toronto and I'm not looking forward to the winter because I really don't like the cold.
Em you are doing so great!!! Do you think you'll compete. I think you would be an awesome competitor because you are self motivated and I think that's a big part of it.
I'm hopefully going to meet Darrin this week to talk about training with him for my first competition in November...yikes!!
Re: Em's Journal
Hi Em!! I just checked out RaeC's blog and she is amazing! Congrats on her win(s)!! And some of her sayings on her blog really hits home.. I find it very inspirational that I am the same age as she is and with committing to the right things and with the right attitude, I can accomplish SO much!!!!
I'm goign to email her now!!
Re: Em's Journal
So Em..did you get to meet Rae...I remember in one of your posts you metioned you will go and see her at the comp I am looking forward to her new pics...let us know when she will have them on her blog...thanx
Rae is every bit amazing a huge inspiration for me, she introduced me to the comp world
I have not yet met her in person i will though in july very exciting
The comp is the 15th of july in melbourne it will be my first ever close up look into the life on stage, and i am hoping that this will help me decide if i would like to compete
I have a long way to go till i'm in comp form but it will give me time to learn the ropes, i have no clue about posing let alone walking in heels
And i know that my diet will need some work I have posted and asked darrin for his help as i am so new to all this comp eating and exercising
I think i have my exercising down and i am increasing my weights on an almost daily basis and i know there is some muscle under there somewhere with a bit of leaning out i am sure i will find them
I have about 14kg to go now and i must say i am focused more than ever to acheive my goals but once i get there i must decide whats next
Fitnessme, I am from ballarat it's about an hour or two away from melbourne
Ange, Rae is amazing she is just a tower of strength and such a giving person willing to help anyone
Aluschka, i will let you know for sure when she posts her pic's as i can't wait to see them myself i bet she looked amazing, i can't wait to see her handy work on her costume as she put all the glitter and glitz on herself talk about amazing girl to fit that in WOW have you seen the list on her blog of all her comp needs??? you being a comp girl would know but boy did it blow me away LOL
I now have a much better understanding about you comp girls and from Rae has told me your all lovely down to earth girls hehe so i have a new respect for all that you girls have to do to prep for comps
Em
P.S
LA i will get the info for you hun on Rae's comp's she has a few that she is competing in.
Re: Em's Journal
Hi girls. I got an email from Rae this morning saying that her coach has her pictures in his camera and still hasn't downloaded them yet. Rae thinks it might not be until the end of the week. I can't wait to see them either
Em you are doing a fantastic job, keep up the great work Ballarat is a lovely town. I get homesick for Australia sometimes, it's such a great place but Canada is beautiful too, such friendly people
I have never been picked to win a meat pack let alone free online my very own PT for 12 weeks
I am so excited i think this is exactly what i need
I need someone to teach me clean eating and hard training Someone that will take the time to point me in the right direction and actually understand where i want to go
I haven't had much luck with PT's but must say from what i have read from Darrin's website and from his very indepth post here i am really excited and pumped that i have this wonderfull opportunity
I am still in shock but i can't wait to dig in and get started
Re: Em's Journal
Breathing is key!! hahaha! You will also need to breathe when you see yourself in the mirror after these 12 months! This is a great opportunity, you said it yourself...now embrace every second of it and make the most of it! Keep up the great work Em!!!!! YOU ROCK!
Re: Em's Journal
Congrats Em You WILL do amazing!! You have ALL of our support and with Darrin's guidance--you can't go wrong!! Get ready to change your physique FOREVER!!
You have done such an amazing job on your own and now with Darrin's help, these next 12 weeks will fly by, you will learn SO MUCH, you'll probably compete now and just think of how proud your daughter is going to be of you!!!!!
I can't wait to follow your journey!!!!
Woot!! Woot!!
Ange
(I just went on line and converted kgs to pds. to see where you have come from -- OMG Em -- you go girl!!!)

Re: Em's Journal
Congrads Em!!!! Make sure to take plenty of progress pics for us!!!!!! You're going to look and feel so great after these next 12 weeks! You're going to look so good at the beach this summer!!!!!
I have sent in my pics and my stats which i must say i hate the new scals they say i weigh in over 89kg but don't you worry they wont be saying that for much longer!!!!
My old ones still say that i am 84kg but they are not high tech hehe more like stone age
I promise i will keep you all updated i might spare you from the pics though LOL but i must say being in just bra and undies gives you a much better idea, and i was disgusted like i thought i would be as i caan see changes from when i took progress pics 3 weeks ago so i am happy know that i will have whipping boy behind me
I think whats so great about online PT help is the fact that it is still me getting out there and doing it, eating right pushing it at the gym etc so i am very excited to see what i can do under the guidence of the master himself
Re: Em's Journal
I hear you what you are saying about the scales When I was buying my ones(electronic-bodyfat ones) every scale I stepped on said something else Anyway most important is to use the same scales at the same time,I do my weight first thing am when I get outta bed
Hmm photos can be brutal..but it is the only way to really see what you look like. Mirror and our eyes can be deceiving It wil be so exciting to see the finished product..LOL and your first starting photos
Re: Em's Journal
I love RaeC's blog!! You are so fortunate to have her for support!!! I don't want time to fly, but I can't wait to see you in 12 weeks!!
I'm so excited for you!! It'll be great having the pics and comparing them week to week!!!!
Do you think you'll compete. I think you would be an awesome competitor because you are self motivated and I think that's a big part of it.
I am looking forward to her new pics...let us know when she will have them on her blog...thanx
