Ready to start the hard yards

Well its nearly 1st April and this was the day I decided to begin dieting. I have actually started early, last Tuesday night after I got back from Bathurst. I have let things get really out of hand. This week is also a week off and I have just been doing a bit of walking and thats all. This Monday I will begin training again and there will be no more breaks till the comp.
I met up with Jo Rogers last Thursday for some posing practice for an hour. And I had forgotton what hard work it is. She really did get me to make some nice improvements though and its up to me to keep practicing and improving now.
I am pretty excited to get back into the gym but will still have to take it easy on the biceps as I still have that injury (golfers and tennis elbow). I started taking super cissus twice a day and hopefully that will help repair the tendons. I have also started taking fish oil again. Its has improved some but is very frustrating that I can't continue training at that intensity.
Next post will be after I am into my first week. Hopefully I will have lost about a kilo then. Last weigh in was 64.6kg

Getting Closer

2 Weeks until the diet starts. Things are going well enough except for a left arm Golfer's elbow problem. Only really noticable when training biceps so far.
I won't get on the scales now but i feel i am about 66-67kg.
I had to go and buy bigger pants finally. I was in denial for a while and just squeezed myself into my largest pair of pants. I still wear my pj's but with all the buttons undone :) Not a pretty sight.
The positive thing is that have gained a good amount of muscle and I can't wait until it all starts to show.
So until then, keep on eating :) train hard and sleep well.
I have made some great gains in the gym. I can lift heavier dumbells by myself and have gotten up to some weights i never thought i would get to. It definitely helps having a good trainer to push the weight higher than you would think yourself capable.
I will start to do regular entries when the diet starts, with photos and measurements.
It will be a 20 week cut this time and no high intensity cardio
