There was no “3 days before comp” post yesterday….

Yesterday was a struggle.. I’ve debated only posting the positive aspects because there were some great ones… but there was also another side, a less pretty side of the day.

I try to stay real and honest on here, so this was yesterday which started with very little sleep…

***4 hours of sleep, I actually woke up at 12.37am, I even laughed as that was still almost the day before still! 🤣

*** Early PT sessions but with a break so Sebastian and I took a 🌞 and very warm walk over to Starbucks for a pupachino (him not me)

*** Back to the gym and then we were done for the morning, feeling really 🥱 by this point

***One of my clients is a reflexologist and so I had a session with her yesterday, she knows me very well, she performed her magic on me with an energising and balancing hormones treatment. 😘 this is why today I feel so much better!

***Seb and I then had a lovely walk through the fields around Purton and saw a deer 🦌 and had lots of nice chats with other dog 🐶 owners

***I started getting in my own head yesterday afternoon though, about some of the aspects of the comp, my body hurting, whether I can do it, doubting myself, feeling all of the pressure!

***then I had an unpleasant call with a family member which triggered some pretty dark feelings and emotions and a headache…

***add on top some pretty awful health concerns which the doctor is unsure whether they are menopausal or CADASIL related or both at the moment and I spiralled… 🕳️

*** Bedtime was one of my earlier ones at 6.45pm (don’t judge me) 🤣😬, I took a sleeping pill 💊 and vowed for today to be better. Thanks 🙏 to Tony Lee for covering my class.

***I have slept for 9 hours, I don’t look as much like a bull frog 🐸 as I thought I might and I’ve put on a brighter 💄 so into the gym Sebastian and I go because the reflexology always resets me, my body and my mind, I’ve actually had some sleep, life isn’t waiting for me and I have plans this weekend..! Comp day is coming!

***And no there was not a single burpee done all day! Although I suspect I will get some at training tonight… 💪

4 days until comp.

Bit nervy today as the day started with a headache. I woke up at 4am but made the mistake of going back to sleep (it’s my day off) and I think that’s how it triggered.

***protein shake and supplements with extra magnesium

***played hide and seek with the dog 😳

***had a fantastic massage 🦵 🍑 🦵 VERY painful but brilliant Donna Phillips put up with the squeals and sorted out my right legs perfectly

*** seeing the important stuff at comp is helpful, my sh*tty menopausal dry eyes which feel like they are giving up on the one job they got are crap! I need new glasses- I’ve been switching between Jeffrey Dahmer and Dame Edna this past year but need a new look - where are people getting decent frames 🤓 from? I went to Specsavers and came away with nowt!

***picked up oaty comp day fuel

***🐕 walk in between the rain showers

*** drilled my hang squat cleans 🏋️‍♀️ until I thought I was losing my mind 🤯

***headache came back 😫

***trained at the Empty Your Tank class - think I’ve chased it away 🏃‍♀️

***new comp socks arrived in time 😊

*** did not do 20 burpees! 😤

11/11/2025

5 days until comp day. 😬

***Protein shake and supplements

***No early morning walk before PT this morning as even after I put Sebastian’s 🐶 harness on he refused to leave the sofa. He didn’t come to the gym today, I left him sleeping.

***I went to the gym and managed to hit myself in the face with a plyo box! If you look carefully there’s still a smear of lipstick 💄 💋 on it

***20 Burpees (FML now)! 😵‍💫

*** Longer dog walk 🐕 to get steps in

*** Protein rich lunch 🥙

***New go faster energy drinks 🍷 packed up ready

***Somebodys hoof ready to be packed and taken to comp 🦶 🐑 to keep pup happy whilst I’m out on the comp floor

***Rest day from training 😌

***Lunchtime Nana nap 😴 🛌

*** Read the workouts for comp day 📖 trying to take in the detail I need to remember- movement, movement standards, no of reps, 🔟 order of movements…

***More PT sessions 👯

*** Wet 💦 and dark dog walk 🐶 🚶 before bed

***Pretty poo 💩 bags packed into Sebastian’s comp bag

Those of you that know me will know hard difficult it is for me to utter the “C” word just in general but believe me it’s even harder to say it so far away from the date itself! 📆

Anyway, after a prompt from one of you lovely lot, I’ve given myself a slap around the face🤦🏼‍♀️ regarding Christmas 🎄 this year and I wanted to let you know that I am going to take some time off… then I will have to actually be off if I post it on here right? ! 🤣

So I’m not planning to work this year from Monday 22nd December until Friday 2nd January😳🤔🤯 as Sebastian 🐕 and I might go exploring…

🙏❤️😊 🏝️ ⛰️ 🌊
