They say

guess Im gaining now then.... lol

Didnt really feel as keen as I did yesterday, didnt have a great sleep, or rather woke up a bit to early... gaah... its sooo frustrating sometimes. Anyway, thought I had a lot of time, got ready got down to the bus and 2 buses didnt show... at all... so odd... then the 3rd bus was late (of course) and I ended up leaving early for work but not getting there earlier than normal... cause I really wanna spend my morning on a bus stop ;)
Its been a bit of a day at work where nothing worked and didnt start working until i left. My team leader did make a fair point tho.. it will most certainly be better tomorrow. haha

The wedding saturday was the best! The weather was sunny, a bit windy but absolutely fantastic. Silly me managed to wake up at 8ish and thought I had soo much time, cleaned a bit then went for a bike ride LOL shouldnt have done that. Had 45min to get ready but managed. Met up with Micke and we went home to Kennet and Sofie at 1pm. Then we all drove down to the cutest, coziest little jetty close to where KeSo lives. KeSo had arranged a table, white cloth, awesome flowers, strawberries and champagne,The wedding officiant came around 2. He was just perfect, older gentleman that had put in a bit of effort into the ceremony. He had even researched the place and chosen a beautiful poem.
Charlie was the best kid and he managed the digital camera as well! Not bad for a 5yo!!!
When the ceremony was done we toasted in champagne, ate strawberries and took a lot of pictures. We went back to KeSo's place, had a bit of food, more bubbly and then off to an awesome restaurant.
We got to sit in a boat before the dinner, they had it at the restaurant. Awesome. More bubbly lol then the best dinner. It was just a perfect day and night. Im so happy for them and Sofie was so gorgeous and Kennet Micke and Charlie where so handsome. :D

Charlie took this picture! Im so impressed!!!

And of course the fantastic food!

Ive been spending the evening making myself pretty for tomorrow. One of my closes friends is getting married yesterday and I am lucky enough to be one of the witnesses. Im soo looking forward to it! They are such a great couple and I couldnt be happier for them! Its going to be a sunny day as well! Fantastic! Its going to be a great day I just know it!

One of the guys at work had his last day and our closest boss bought us all lunch. I got a great tasting fish. Butter fish! Never had that before. It was delicious! They had made a mango salsa with ginger and that was just awesome! nom nom! Unfortunately I didnt bring my phone with me so I couldnt take a photo.. but mmmm
Made me think of another dinner I had when we went to Anderstorp, on the way back home.

Uff.... shitty session at the gym today. The O2 was not present and there was no movement in the air at all... Did a quick (still took way to long) session of legs
Squats, lounges, straight deadlifts, seated hamstring curlz, standing calf raises and calf raises with different positioning of the feet. Just wanted to get out of there *gggah* Did do my assisted chins tho... Had 3 kids (about 7) as audience, millions of questions and they where fascinated with the talk used for grips lol too cute.

Yesterday I went to the hairdresser and did a Brazilian Blowout. I have been wanting to try it for a long time and finally got around to it. Took 90 min and the hair just went sooo soft. I love it! And still do!!! Awesome! Its a fair bit of money but lasts for 3 months. Apparently your hair gets better the more treatments you do:D some info here

Really hungry today and tired so Ill be hitting the sac real soon! (Thats why I cant be bothered with writing down the weights juuuust now)

BodyFitness competition thoughts
I have decided to not compete again (with the right to change my mind in the future haha) in BF.
I am to small to place top 3 and I am not willing to do what it takes to get there. Its a lot of bulking to be done and Im not going to walk around not being happy with myself for a lot of years just because I want to place top 3 in a BodyFitness competition. I love training other things than just building muscle like cycling and I want to try to incorporate some running in my routine. Love walking as well. This doesn't go hand in hand with muscle building. Since I have a obsessive personality its easy to diet but hart to let it go after a competition, still not a 100% after the last competition but a lot better now and its just affecting to many parts of my life. Its not worth it for me.

The power lifting is a fun sport but Im not going to do it all out either. Im happy with trying to break my own personal bests but since the risk of hurting oneself with doing the power lifting routines is high for me Im going to do a mix of medium reps and maybe some low reps. I want to keep the muscles and the shape that I have managed to build. Want to be stronger too but not going to obsess about it. I want to incorporate more functional training to get a great all-round fitness, train for enjoyment and do the training I want. If I want to go for a long bike-ride or whatever thats what ill do :)

Then again ;) I do change my mind sometimes and who knows, maybe in a few years Ill try again

Good session but still a bit sore since the competition. Chins was heavy...

Work has kicked in now and the priorities has changed and deadlines have been tightened.

The plan for the coming future is to compete in series 3 (club comp) and to beat the 112.5kg deadlifts. Its only 6 weeks away so well see how that goes :)

The 1st of October a friend of mine is competing in the Swedish Championship in bodyfitness. She did really well last year and this year Im helping her a bit leading up to the competition and backstage during the competition. She is managing her own diet and all that but Im there for discussions and posing practice as well as diet head support. Its really important to have someone to vent to when your dieting as you brain plays tricks on you and Im happy to help as we are very similar in the way we work with food/dieting and phobias!

Yesterday I bought a lovely pair of boots! Love them but they have already broken a little bit in the sole :( Im going back to the shop tomorrow to see what can be done.. They look really good with skinny pants (my phobia as i have skinny calfs and think it looks a bit odd when wearing them but these make it look a lot better) Yes Im in a little bit of a "wanna be more feminine" phase... Probably cause of the power lifting comp not being very feminine... lol

Some more pictures

Been down in tibble to do some training. Didn't push it as Im still sore from the comp. Did some light dead-lifts, chins, dumbbell rows, lats pull-downs and straight pull-donws. Yes, probably not the best but needed it sooo bad ;)

SM in Lund was fantastic! We had a great weekend and everyone was so helpful and supportive. The club that arranged the event nailed it! It just went so smoothly and effective. Information and help was overflowing and I loved it!
Managed 57.5kg i bench, 75kg in squats and 112.5kg in deads. I came 5th (barely beaten by a girl who weighed 2 kg less and lifted the same. The weather was awesome and got a bit of tan as well.

Even made it into the newspaper LOL

Im trying to find out if I can download the event as they streamed online. Would be fun to have!

The trip home yesterday did suck big time. Long train trip with a bunch of 15yo boys that had a little to much fun for 4 hours... then waiting for the subway and the bus... got home at 1.30.... but got the day off today and can relax.

Todays breakky, eggs, onion, mushroom topped with grilled garlic flavored philadelpha (LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE philadelphia)

ATM I am sitting in the hotel room getting ready for weigh in! It starts in 30 min. I was under by 1.3kg yesterday but since I find it hard to go to the loo when its like thus I hope I manage under 57!
Lifting starts at 9! I'm going to fill up on sports drinks, cottage cheese (flavoured) rice cakes and a lot of protein bars!
(last comp)

well

Ive decided to open my blogg again.
Going down to Lund today to compete in SM in power lifting :) Wish me luck!

One thing I have to recommend is the zucchini spagetti, marinated in garlic and olive oil, wok fried and covered with parmesan cheese and walnuts. Fantastic
