Eating before training

Yesterday my training session sucked! I was getting tired very quickly, was feeling dizzy and weak. I had a lunch an hour before my session, it didn't have any carbs. Just fish and veggies like carrots and broccoli. And due to some circumstances, I had no breakfast. So, my 12 o'clock lunch was the only food I have eaten prior the gym.
 Today, I had 4 eggs for breakfast with celery, coriander and dill, they are my FAVORITE herbs ever! I put them everywhere in abundance :)) And then for lunch, I know! many will judge, but just had no other option... drum roll please!... I had a chicken wrap from... McDonalds :p  I have had a VERY busy and hectic morning with hospital appointments with my daughter and so on... It was the easiest and fastest option... Anyhow
 I was impressed with myself at the gym! I have beaten my personal record! Hehe. It was a back day, started with dead lifts. As usual, for a warm up just a bar 15 reps, then about 50kg 12reps then a few rounds more and up to 80kg. If last time I have only managed to do only 2 reps, today I did all 80kg 8 reps! And managed to do 90kg twice! Yea baby :DDD
 Chicken wrap=POWER! LOL LOL
P.S. Note to myself: NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST!

Very first post :)

What will be my very first post about? Well... I think... how come?
I have been sportive all my life, since my mum signed me up for a Ball Room dancing when I was about 5 years old.
 When I was 18, I used to go to the gym which was run by man who was a bodybuilding champion in Latvia and his wife, who I think held the title of Strongest woman of Latvia. Can't remember their names :( Anyhow, they used to bug me, were trying to get me to do bodybuilding. At that time I used to work as a croupier in a Casino, plus being only 18, of course I refused, on several occasions :))
 And now 14 years later, now living in UK, I get the same suggestions, actually a few options, or a fitness competitor or a figure, these two will suit my body type and lifestyle better. So I thought, why not to try? May be it is my destiny, if professionals in this sport are saying that I can do it, I will give it a go!
My major health problems to overcome and to work with are severe RSI, Diastasis Recti, and spine/back problems(some docs said spinal hernias when I was about 15y of age, slipped disks & etc in the past)

That was me summer 2011

That was me summer 2012, a bit heavier...

And that is my goal, Erin Stern is gorgeous!

2012 Arnold Classic Europe Figure Championship and Candids! With Arnold himself :)

Until now,for the last 14 years, all I did was body-weight training and light cardio at home and not regularly.
I have joined the gym about 10 months ago, but started heavy weight training only about 3 months ago, when I have agreed to go for a competition.
  So, wish me luck and you are welcome to follow my journey, comment, advise, support and so on ;))))
 Stay cool :)
