I wanted to take a moment and let everyone know how hard Myself and all of us on team Bodilogix are working in preparation of readying the place to welcome some new folks to "the Life". With our newly expanded gym with added conditioning center and full menu group classes starting up, we've never been more ready to get anyone in the best shape of their lives !!!
Anyone and everyone interested on really making changes, we are ready.
Allow us to be a part of ensuring you are successful.
The new year is eight around the corner and I know we often feel a little bit of pressure to make this time a time to make change. I used to balk at the New Years Resolution... Now i embrace it...
I would like to introduce everyone that is truly serious about taking control of their life, their health, and their well being the idea of the "New Years Revolution !!!!"
That's when we make change for good... For real ... and that is what it is all about here at Bodilogix...
We are waiting for you !
I have decided to continue to use this blog to reach out to regular visitors to the site and keep everyone personally informed with what is going on at bodilogix... as it happens.
Stay tuned, Always something new happening here,
Check out the latest on the Bodiloigx website events page for results on the battle of the Dave's...
If you are just hearing about the battle of the Dave's definitely check it out, Our mornings are off the shizzle ridiculous with our two Dave's barring and sparring... it's hard to keep up with the jokes and Trainer Andrea and Trainer Becky right in the middle of it all....
So far the Dave's teams look like this..
Team Cromlish... Team Huges...
Sheri Russell Becky Deremo
Rick Cromlish Chris Littlechild
Kathy Bernard Thompson

And she's off...
It has been a crazy whirl wind week of "life" moving and swirling around me pulling me in all different directions to say the least. Life is certainly proving a little more complicated as I prepare for this competition compared to the last go around and i will most certainly need to make adjustments in my use of time and thinking. I don't remember life being this frantic and chaotic while in my last prep. My journals as I review them indicate a time of serenity and balance. I remember really enjoying the process last time and at present it's straight up hill with nothing more than a pick axe and one shoe...Hard work staying focused...
Despite the perception of difficulty I did manage to lose the 2 pounds I goaled to do. Today I sit at exactly 130lbs. A long way to go and not a lot of time to get the job done. I hope to find the "place" I seemed to discover the last time around and sooner than later or this is going to be a long 2 months...
Feeling slightly deflated, i believe I will place blame on the heat ....
Tomorrow is another day.
Daily ajenda...
1:00 45 minute cardio
4:00 weights (chest),(triceps)
5:00-5:30 30 min cardio
Breakfast: 6:00am
10 almonds, 2 walnuts, 1/2 cup oatmeal...
tea
Protein shake 9:00am
chopped veggies 11;30
Protein shot
chicken and salad 1:30
protein shake 3:30
Chicken and saute zuchini and peppers
6:00pm
protein shake 9:00pm
9:30pm-10:30pm 1 hour cardio

Thank god it's Friday...
Something about friday always brings out the giggles in me. This Friday is a little more somber i am feeling as we are all heading out to the Legion for a fund raiser for the McKeown Family. I am happy to hear so many from Bodilogix will be there supporting the event and it is always a fun time when the gang is altogether. I will have to forgo any wobbly pops or the like as all alcoholic beverages have left my life strictly after returning from vacation.
This mornings cardio was yanked off the table do to a slow start this morning and super tight legs, i will put in 1 hour of Cardio today where and when in the schedule I am not certain as of yet but I have biceps/triceps on tap with the lovely Miss Cindy and will throw the cardio in their somewhere.
Ideally
3:15-4:00pm 45 minutes of cardio
5:15- 6:30pm weights
6:30-7:00pm additional cardio
Not necessarily "ideal" but ideal considering the busy day with my clients ahead of me... Hopefully there aren/t too many on leg day my gams aching big time and it's only going to get worse...
6:00 yogurt
half cup oatmeal
tea
9:00 Protein shake (banana joe)
11:30 chopped veggies
2:00 salad and chicken
5:00 shake
800 shake

Day78...but whose counting...
Holy moly, only 78 more crazy days til Pizza...
Program today..
Afternoon 30 minute cardio (Eliptical)
Scorching Leg workout with training Partner extraordinaire Miss Cindy...set a personal deadlifing record !!!
Late night Cardio 30 minutes...
Interesting... Thing is as I prepare for my own show, everyone whom I train, all of their programs and performances in the gym go up a notch.
I might feel a little bad for my clients today they all worked really really hard. My prediction... They are all going to be working really really really hard this fall here at the Bodilogix !!!!
The eating is just tough my appetite is so over the top right now and my body is craving a strength cycle not a "cutting" cycle. It will get easier.
Tomorrow is another day starting with 45 minute 6:00am cardio planned, See you all in the morning gang!
Nighty night !

Early to bed and early to rise...
Early to bed is really just a fantasy in my life although last night I gave it my best attempt... I was up every 90 minutes going to the washroom, this is good news...
The last time I prepped for a show I was up half the night having a pee and I swear to god I just kept waking up with a "changed" body. Last night was the first crazy night of washroom visitations therefore although a disrupted sleep to be sure (4 visits in total through the night) I see this as an encouraging sign that my body is responding as I wish it to regarding the changes in activity and diet I have already made.
It is now 6:20 am and I am about to begin my first Cardio.
Downed my first bottle of water, 3 Mitotropin, 2 anavite (vitamins) extra "C" 500mg followed by and 2 baby yogurts...good to go!
30 minutes...see you on the other side.
Done and on with the day... next stop 4:00pm shoulder workout...

Onward to Vegas baby .....
I was asked by the lovely and talented Miss Wendy how she could support me through the upcoming 80 days on my quest to win the Fame Natural World bodybuilding championship to be held in Las Vegas November 11. Good question, I need all the support and encouragement a gal can muster as this is for anyone in or not in the know a tough trick to do!!!
The attention to training is gruelling.. the amount of Cardio obscene... and the strict diet... don't even go there sister is just gets ridiculous... I remember sipping a Cinnamon apple tea last go around as I prepared for the eastern championships held right here in Cobourg and I decided I should NOT drink the tea because despite the lack of evidence the taste was telling of perhaps a questionable ingredient that could very well side track my chances in a win and the physical "show ready" perfection I was in search of. Quite frankly the darn stuff tasted too dam good !!!!In hind sight I should have just drank the tea and enjoyed its robust flavour... oh the mind... tricky stuff.
Anyway it was decided that this time around while I prep I should continue to write a Blog and report to all of you what I am up to.The idea is that this seemed the best way to attract support from readers like yourself... I very much would appreciate your comments, questions and feedback if it is of a positive nature and I will do my best to devulge in the most honest light what the experience is like to prepare one self for the challenge of performing on stage as I bid to capture my first World title on my road to Professional status.
I have no secrets, I have no magic, just me, my knowledge and "Will" to achieve the following mandate..
I know from my past experience where I need to take my physique to be worthy of the stage and performance I will be displaying to capture the title so here are the particulars...
weight now : 132 pounds Goal weight: 114 pounds
bodyfat% 23% Bodyfat % 13%
days to goal : 80
Welcome to the ride people hang on it's going to be a bumpy one!!!!

Wasn't that a party....
With , a tear in my eye, and many fond memories another fledgling is "air borne" and our man Dave is a free man. Free from this trainers ever so watchful eye and blistering inquisitions... "what did you have for dinner last night Dave ?"
Endless days and nights of interviews with Dave's family and friends hoping to catch any and all of them in a story and get the real truth about "What was really for dinner last night... I mean really for dinner..."
Afternoons stalking our man Dave as he meanders aisle by aisle through the Metro trying to escape my stealthy glances into his cart. Is ihis cart full of vegies and lean chicken breast, bananas and the like... lert's sneak a peak...
Gone are my motivational speeches and heart to hearts. Just to set the record straight when I called him "Mr. delicate" it was really only out of concern...Honest!
And I do apologize ...somewhat for calling him "a little girl" maybe more than once... it slipped...but I never called him that more than 10 times ...I swear!
Oh the memories of watching that sweaty guy just begging for mercy,,, Please, Please make it stop..the pain." I am maudlin with the memories....
Stop!!! I'm getting misty just replaying this last year of the "no cop out challenge" in my mind...
As Dave sets off on his new active life as a much slimmer and trimmer Dave, I feel our time together has been an overwhelming success on all fronts.
1. Dave did infact lose his 100 pounds... 107.2 to be exact
2. Dave and friends did infact walk 100 km as our training goal over this year has grown to include.
3. Dave by weeks end I am certain will have in fact raised an overwhelming $18,000 + for the Northumberland Hills Hospital Fund and I think the crash cart goal will also be met.
4 As well as most importantly, my friend Dave has a new lease on life and is challenging himself on his next mountain range of goals and experiences he would like to conquer.
Dave is no longer a big man with trouble on the horizon with regards to his health. Dave is in as much control as active adult and taken action on keeping and bettering his quality of life as he ages and not the reverse.
Dave is a good lesson to all of us. A lesson about drive, determination, and follow through.
As Dave's trainer I am so very proud of him and look forward to further opportunities to take his training in whatever direction or ambition Dave has.
A for me...I will await my next protege and continue to welcome everyone here to Bodilogix to a wonderful supportive family who understands what it is to make the change.
Cheers Dave,
See ya tomorrow...
