Back eating carbs at the moment, strength is good. Body weight has gone up again to 60kgs from 59.2kgs on eating 1500 calories a day. I feel puffy so I know Im holding fluid.Going to ignore the scales until 10 days out then 2 days out from comp. If I'm 5% over 56kgs I'm not going to sacrifice strength and go nuts on the waterloss. I'm not going for gloss, just PB's at the Push/Pull. I'm making the decision now so I don't stress out and boil in a Sauna like I did at Nats 2012. I went down from 59kgs to 56kgs and no water loading.Added some cardio in, just power walking. It felt good to be back out on the pavement. 3.42km in 30mins. Not my quickest but hoping to do Max Effort Lower later so rested the legs and avoided running.
Fitbit Flex
I bought a Fitbit Flex today. I've wanted one for ages! There was only Black and Blue available so I went with black. Ive been tracking my daily steps with an app called Noom but its really just a fancy Pedometer, it also didn't tell me how much distance I covered and can't always have my phone with me. Will note my future experiences in it's own post but so far an interesting little gadget!

Today I spent my time at PTC Sydney refereeing the novice competition. Was a great day and well run, good to see so much talent coming through. Coached a couple of lifters and made more friends. Had a big meal at Killa Burger Burwood afterwards with the PTC Team. I do miss being part of a team.

Last night driving home I was suffering the worst case of muscle lock up I've ever experienced. Couldn't turn my head or raise my arms. Yesterdays upper body session was definitely taken up a notch, especially Strict Military Presses. I rang my Physio and booked an aappointment for tomorrow morning at 8:30am. I feel like my chest just wants to hunch forward all the time and feels much more comfortable there. I took a muscle relaxant and alot of the pain reduced dramatically. On a more positive note, my bodyweight was down to 58.5kg this morning, fully hydrated and my average calories have been 1700. I cant believe I was dieting at 1200 not too long ago! Celebrated with a small chocolate this morning! I know it will still be a hard task to get down to <56kgs for the Push/Pull Comp on December 1st.Loving fitbit. It's really helping me keep active!2.7km walk today.

Testing out some Lock Jaw Collars my husband bought for me. So much easier to use than the spring form ones! Happy so far, quick release and quick to snap on. Very tight through back and thighs today. Physio session today: Upperbody was so tight she couldn't undo everything in one session so I've booked 4 more. Major knots in my traps and lats and worked on the front of the left shoulder. She also cracked my back in 4 places. She has advised me to avoid wide bench pressing and only light weights for now, otherwise I'm undoing everything she is doing. She will be using needles next time.....omg!

Physio appointment. massage and needling. Neck has freed up alot, still some nagging pain in my left chest but managing with heat when getting inflamed. Pain is caused in the shoulder joint and not the chest.

Bodyweight 57.1kgs
Just going to conserve energy today. Fasting liquids 18 hours out. Virus seems to have gone.
Beginning to think about programming leading up to ACT States.
Mowed the lawns in a garbage bag and droped to 56.6kg.
Saturday 30th November 2013
Woke up at 56.6kgs, so headed to the Saunas at Mount Annan Leaisure Centre. $5.30 for access. Got a swim in between sessios. Thought I was going to die!
Did a 10 minute session, then a 5 minute, then 3 and 3. By this time I'd had enough.
Cooled off in the pool, dryed off then checked weight at 56.3kg. Hair was wet at this time.
Drove to Ptc Sydney and weighed in at 56.1kgs initially. Grabbed Tim and headed to the bathroom to weigh in in just my underwear. 56kgs!! Woohoo!
Big refeed at Maccas now relaxing!
