as i said before today is jenny's birthday so i took the day off work so i could look after Aiden while she caught up on some sleep and went training etc etc...she never got to the gym as she was asleep in bed until 2.00pm ...

i am away again tomorrow i have business in Gatwick airport so i get a chance to see Harold for the first time since i started the diet 4 weeks ago. i am really looking forward to seeing him as he will tell me exactly if i am on target or not i need this at the moment as my head is doing back flips about my progress....

we all get that feeling mate. for me i always find the last week before a show i have zero interest in bodybuilding and am of the mindset that i just want it done with and then ill go coach my kids soccer team for a few years.... but the minute your on stage that all changes... and the minute you walk off that stage your planning your next show!

Bodyworks

chin up kid. i'm looking forward to seeing you as part of a cracking line up at the britain.

how long to go now ? (ha ha).

well i went to see my coach Harold Marillier yesterday...i got there at 14.00 and trained Back and calves with him and his training partner Danny how stupid was i to try and train with a Pro and a heavyweight when i am dieting i was shattered afterwards and today i cannot hardly move as my back has that nice tight Dom's feel to it and my calves hurt so bad i can hardly walk

Harold took a look at me and said that if his intention was to get me onstage in the same condition as last year then i was slightly ahead but because he wants me even more ripped this year he says i am on target apart from my middle to lower back and glutes which are slightly behind this is an area i hold most of my fat and is always the last area to truly come in.

so we are kicking it up a gear by doing 40min cardio twice a day 6 days a week plus lowering my carb amounts on my low and med days by 50g....
i am feeling more settled now i have spoken to Harold....

and then the world cam crashing down......

yesterday i had my re-feed day which was very welcomed after a few days low carbs...i did my normal thing and finished the day with a takeaway....woke up this morning at 6.00am to feed my son and at 8.00am when my wife rose from her sleepy slumber i took my Helios and T5 then jumped on the treadmill for my normal 60min cardio on a Sunday morning still feeling full and tight from the re-feed the day before...at around the 30min mark i was feeling a little queasy and my stomach was tightening i thought nothing of it and completed my cardio.....after my show i started to feel really bad and then BANG!!! i was bent over with really bad stomach spasms and the a nauseous feeling i could not eat and was feeling dizzy....i spent the morning in and out of the bathroom but still just felt i had a case of the runs jenny took the kids visiting and i went to bed for a much needed rest it was around 12.00pm and i had not yet eaten a thing over the next 4hrs i proceeded to empty the contents of both my bowels and stomach in the bathroom until there was nothing left but stomach bile.....
finally i fell asleep and woke at around 18.30 i was feeling better but still had a sick feeling and a bad stomach going downstairs to see my family Jenny pointed out that i was white as a sheet plus i was cramping in my calf's, legs and stomach from the amount of fluid i had excreted.....

it is 11.00pm 25hrs since the last time i eat anything and i have just forced my self to have 2 scoops of protein and some strawberries i am weak and my body is tired the only reason i am on here now is because i cannot sleep.....

I am hoping that i will wake up tomorrow morning clear of the bug/poisoning i have had today and i can get back on track......

like i said before competing is not easy if it was everyone would be doing it.......goodnight.
