I had a chat to my coach yesterday! Every thing is in place and now I await my training plan and macro split. I'm getting really excited about getting back into a lifting routine. I've been lifting regularly, but I have been feeling like I just need that little extra. A goal to lift my game!
Not looking forward to tracking my macros again but it's definitely needed. My eating has been a bit out of whack lately so I'm sure it's going to be the kick up the bum I need.
I will be keeping my upper/lower split but consistently lifting 6 days per week. I'll be in off-season prep for the rest the year and then pre comp will begin early next year.
Nine months to go until comp time!

Photos and measurements completed
OK.... this is the nervous bit. I have sent off my before photos and measurements to my coach. There is so much to do over the next 9 months. You can see my before photo on my Instagram (@thefitmumma_) as I'm too lazy to get it off my phone and onto my computer! I might post it on here later.
9 months... the length of a pregnancy. Considering how LONG 9 months feels when you are pregnant, I am confident I can achieve what I have to in that time. Not saying this is going to be easy. I've done enough research over the past few years to know that competition prep is far from easy. I'm sure there will be good times, but I'm sure there will be crap times too. Like when I really don't want to do some cardio, or I can't be bothered tracking my lunch, or I can't be bothered going to the gym because I've had a long day or I've gotten up during the night with the kids.
BUT this is a goal I've had for three years now, and it's something I just want to do for myself. I may do it once and decide it's not for me, or I may love it and continue. Who knows...

So it's August...
Long time no update! There is a good reason for that, and it's because I haven't been doing anything! I've been a bit busy this past week at least, so I've taken to doing quick little workouts at home.
But this morning I look at my phone and realise August is here, as it has been for a few a couple of days now haha. To say I'm nervous is an understatement. Coaching starts this month. Half of me wants to just head to the gym right now and the other half of me wants to go to the toilet (what I do when I'm nervous..haha) and go hide under the covers. I assume the latter won't get me on stage though..
