Week 9 - Why I'm not healthy

I want to touch on why I do not think i'm completely healthy. Since learning about myself through my competition journey, i've gather better knowledge about my body, nutrition, and training...

However there was something i neglected terribly and that was sleep.

Just to share i got my hormone test results back today and my PCOS is still very prevalent. PCOS, and some of the sicknesses out there is, to me self inflicted through bad lifestyle choices. Me sleeping an odd hours has caused my body to send SOS whispers which i wasn't aware off or maybe i was being ignorant.

The short story.. my progesterone levels are absolutely abnormal. Optimal is about 41-73, Normal is 10-86 in a female body... I'm at 1! One!!

It shocked me greatly. I'm not going to get into the effects of what happens at such low levels, but the point I want to make is, please to anyone reading - Don't take your body for granted.

In our youth and folly we take things for granted, we eat shitty food, some party late, others work super hard, some don't rest, don't get to the point of adrenal fatigue.

Really love your body. Don't take it for granted, I truly want you and me to do the things that we want to do in life, with a healthy body.

Thank you for watching and stay blessed. :)
Speak to you next week!

Speak to you next week!

Exactly as of today as i upload this vlog. I have 25 days left. OMG!!!!!!

I finally registered myself for the competition Battle of the Freaks 2 happening 6th May at PJ Live Arts Theatre.

In this vlog, I explain a bit more on the competition i'm taking part in. I'm still very new to the bodybuilding industry and jargons, but from my understanding, there a number of different federations out there. Each has it's own categories and own set of rules.

For Battle of the Freaks, it is under NABBA-WFF. NABBA stands for National Amateur Body-Builder's Association and WFF is World Fitness Federation.

"NABBA and WFF are separate organisations but are affiliated. This provides additional benefits for members and competitors. Each Federation seeks a different 'look'. NABBA tends to cater for the more muscular physique and WFF favours a more athletic look. Both Federations attract a high level of male and female competitors at state, national and international level." - taken from nabba.com.au

I'll break it down simply there 3 categories for male and female. Tall And Short where you can join to try for your pro card and then there is the Novice Open category for those who have never competed before.

The judging involves the following
Round 1 - T Walk - whereby you have to hit 5 points on stage
Round 2 - Quarter Turns -
Round 3 - Quarter Turns - for muscularity

Hope this gives you a bit of insight on the comp that I'm taking part. So you see it's not all about looking ripped or lean on stage. Posing is a big criteria and how you look for your presentation including stage presence.

25 days.. 25 days..

To add on to more complications. I didn't rest well this week, as you can tell in the vlog, while i may look fine at some points in the video, I was really trying to keep it together for the camera. Fighting off either a headache, a sorethroat and the beginnings of a flu.

I've learnt another lesson, when i'm at the beginning stage of getting sick, meaning with a sorethroat. Dont' be a smart ass and train. I did my usual training and then cardio on sat.. that just killed me on Sunday. Body completely said fudge it all. Even now i'm still recovering, but loads of water is helping out. I gotta say after 3 litres of water, my skin does feel better, but i also feel terribly weak.

That's the update for week 14! Good night everyone and thank you again for following my journey!

Thanks again everyone for watching my vlogs, I'm learning everyday and do tell me what else you want me to share in my videos! Appreciate every comment and view :)
