I'm officially on a Cathe bender at the moment. Today I pulled out "Kick, Punch and Crunch" and really enjoyed it, after getting off to a slow start. I had only done this one once before a few years back and couldn't remember any part of it, so it was like having a brand new DVD all over again. I followed this up with a 25 min swim (1200m) and "New Rules of Lifting" Break In Workout A.I received my "Chicken or Chocolate" TShirt from Lia today and also in my parcel was the National Titles DVDs and (the best part!) a "Koko Black" hot chocolate at home pack. If I have the choice of "chicken or chocolate" when I have a Koko Black option, guess what wins? I didn't want to post pics of my mug two days in a row, but will be modelling the T-shirt later this week!
I was also lucky enough to have a great chat to Lia on the phone today as well.
I have officially decided that I am not going to compete this year. Really I am having fun with all sorts of other stuff right now and as I mentioned earlier, feel that I'm headed more down the coaching and preparation path anyway. Plus it is great to be fit and healthy just for the heck of it ;) I haven't actually spent much time in "maintenance mode" and learning to keep good balance and perspective has been my challenge so far in 2007. I'm getting there though!

I can't wait to see the photo Liz. Enjoy your year off, not that it is for us is it. LOL!! ;o) xx
Sounds like a great plan - maintenance is definitely an art in itself and often tricky to master.
Sounds like you're having fun with your training anyway - it'd be a shame to mess with that.
Interesting decision about not competing. I think you are so knowledgeable that you will be very successful on the coaching path!!
PS - Loved the pic, lol.
Hey Liz,your going off girl!!
well done and keep it up!

Liz your sooo smart lol. I really need a break too. After April I think that's it for me for the year.
Im really hoping to plan a good maintanence period. This is so important, just as important as comp prep I believe.

Hi Kek, Marie, Deb, Jane and Lia - I don't know - I was missing comp prep for awhile and then it suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks that I really wanted a year of recovery :)
Hugs
Liz ;)
