Show Notes

Hello friends -  I am back with the next instalment of PREP FILES where I take you with me on my prep journey… now the ICN Victoria stage!

It’s been a while and I apologise! But it really is crunch time now so I promise I’ll be around a lot more and really take you on this last part of the journey, let’s go!

As always I also answer all your fantastic questions at the end (my fave bit!)

Some of the things I cover off in this episode:

  • Why I no longer wish to be a homeowner… lol
  • Gratitude a competitors best friend
  • Being able to be objective with my body
  • Magical calories fixing everything 
  • Struggling with not enjoying training
  • Current stats: weeks out, weight, training, wins, lessons, challenges etc.

Listener Q:&:

  • How would you recommend dieting before using a diet break?
  • How have you found your prep focus given the situation with shows - has it made it easier or harder?
  • When you lost your period in prep, did you continue to get some of the symptoms, cramps bloating etc.?
  • How do you choose a coach when you are a first time competitor
  • How much coffee or caffeine are you currently consuming
  • Are there any dream brands youd love to work with, pick one for each; clothing, supplements, skincare/beauty
  • Am I crazy for doing a prep in winter in uk?
  • Have you ever had a lack of confidence in the bedroom as you’ve got shreddy?
  • Did you ever have doubts that you could make it to stage? (currently me)
  • How to stop the binge eating cycle post show, 

And PLENTY more weird and wonderful things as usual.

I mention an interview I recently did with Sarah Collier around mindful eating/binge eating which is Episode 53 if you want to check it out.
