Update time, and once again I have failed to keep updating as the lean down / carb deplete bites, I will try really hard again next time to keep words coming!  Is very hard though when you barely have enough energy to wipe you nose, let alone hit a few keys on a keyboard - and in the right order to actually have some sense coming out at the other end once your fingers finish!  Tough enough having ex front-row fingers that point in all the wrong directions anyway!

We're leaving, on a Jet Plane, don't know when we'll be back again...  There's a song like that isn't there?  Just be glad you're not here to hear me sing it, right words or wrong, it is a horrible experience!

But yes, tomorrow we head over to Rarotonga for the NABBA Asia Pacific Champs.  And not before time, it is bloody FREEZING here in Whangamata today.  At work I am about as useful as a rung-less ladder, with the attention span of a gnat, running off to the toilet every three seconds as I try and demolish the towns reservoir of water every six minutes, along with filling the sewage ponds to overflowing.  Ain't it just grand being a body builder!

Well, we're getting to the pointy end of the season at last.  Two weeks tomorrow until the NABBA Aisa Pacific Championships in Rarotonga.  So at the moment food is, as it always is at this time of contest preparation a non issue, as there is bloody none!!  Suffice to say, our diet lists on the fridge door don't have a lot of lines for each meal - long gone are the whole cooked chickens and multiple cups of rice!

Well this article will have a range of emotions throughout it.

First is happy, well we all know that on the 31^st of July was the Waikato champs. The family headed to our hotel on Friday night and then it was off to see Teresa for the final weigh in. All looked good but I had spent too long in the shower after my first tan so Phaedra had to have her first go at tanning her husband. She did a wonderful job, interesting being naked on a towel and bending and lifting all your limbs so she can get everywhere. I hope she is not scared for life.
