Exciting plans

Hello all,

Summer is over unfortunately! I love the sunshine, the warm weather, my shorts and skirts 😉
Now the hoodies are coming out of the cupboard again and have to wear layers in the gym, too if I don’t want to be cold!
I wish I could live in a warm country! Sometimes it doesn’t even have to be hot, but by just having the sun out puts you in a better mood. I think this was one of the most enjoyable things in Istanbul during my holiday: the constant sun. But you cannot ignore the fact that the quality of the food is much better over there as well, because they grow most of their vegetables and fruits. When I came back I tried to cook the same way but food just doesn’t taste the same here. I guess I might have to go back again to enjoy again what Istanbul has to offer 🙂

But first things first: today I have a photo and videoshoot with Doc Ajay (Lee Priest’s photographer who Lee brought over from LA during his time in the UK while he was competing at the NABBA Universe and travelling around the UK and Ireland for seminars). I really look forward to this because his work is very remarkable! Not to mention that a lovely guy, very easy going which makes him really smooth to work with him. This is one of the photos he took at the seminar:

Thankfully the weather seems to be nice today, hopefully it will hold it until we finish the outdoor shoot in Windsor. It’s a bit windy, but I don’t mind that as long as the sun is out.

ON the 3rd of November I will be going to the Stars of Tomorrow UKBFF competition in Hayes. One of the girls from my gym, Katie competes for the first time in the physique class and I have been following her journey. I look forward to seeing her on stage and all the other competitors as it is always very motivational! It will be nice to catch up with fellow athletes as well who I haven’t seen or met for ages! This year I haven’t gone to too many competitions, only the local ones I visited.

And on the 8th November I’m going to Hungary again, for a short visit! I look forward to catching up with the athletes there and meeting with friends and fans again! So if you are in Hungary and would like us to meet drop me a line so that we can arrange it!

That’s it for today, I gotta go now as I have a busy day ahead! Enjoy this lovely day, don’t think there’s many left before the rain and cold weather come again!

Second week in Istanbul

Another week is gone in my holiday. Training is going well, loving the sunshine and the warm weather. Eating and training and resting… Best practice. I have been trying to try some local food as well, went for a nice kebab the other day, and Sundays we have a BBQ. Last Sunday we spiced it up with dessert afterwards – baklava ice cream… I can say that this is the new love of my life.

Hopefully within the next few days we will go to the town centre, the main part of Istanbul to check out the tourist attractions, too but until then it’s all about training…
