Bargain!

My hubby tim and I were running out of optimum whey protein and during the week I had rung around many shops and finally was told that only Greater earth stocked it and could ship it from their city store to Camberwell. Tim and I dropped into Vitamin me which is where we get all our products just in case they had sealed a better deal with the Us to import and sell it cheaper than previous. It had become extinct in that store for now but at least they put my name down to order it in when they stocked up again. There are two stores in Camberwell Riversdale and burke RD so we went to the one( min down the road from where the protein were being kept for us.) we were not getting it from. They didn’t tell us prices over the phoneL and I was SHOCKED at the price-162d each if you got two (more for just one) 10pd chocolate protein powder bag of optimum whey. I asked the server if they could do a deal for three and it came to 155d each.
Tim and I looked stunned at eachother and since timmy is so good with his money he suggested that we go to check if the prices were the same at the store we were getting the OW shipped to. We got to the Riversdale RD store and they were waiting for us. We looked at the price tag. It said 100d each then I asked how much for the two and it came down to 92d each. I checked it was the right flavour and paid. I noticed timmy getting jittery and he didn’t really respond to my offer of a high five freeze frame…. I asked when the prices were going to go up. And she said that it was going to go up very soon. She picked up the phone after referring to the price list folder.
You know when the penny finally drops and you start thinking and seeing things in slow motion..I understood that she was going to ring the store that had nearly jipped us so I turned to Timmy and mouthed RUN! So we did and waved to her as we went by the shop window and back to our car. We couldn’t keep the smile off our faces and I don’t think Tim has every seen me smile so much not even on our wedding day! Apart from this I have ordered some more supplements over BB.Com and hope to be receiving them next week. The Aus Dollar seemed to good to be true as did the prices overseas. My friend Suzy who I have and am helping to gain fitness and a new figure, had a ten percent discount voucher from BB.Com. Last time we ordered stuff, I used the one I had received.
Apparently if you only order every three months they continue to send a ten percent incentive voucher to get you to buy up big again. But Suzy and I have been taking in turns to use these valuable offers. BARGAIN!
I trained legs today and am so sore that I have had to lie down or stay seated all day. Granted I also went for a walk as I felt that this may b easier than riding my exercise bike or Xtrainer for my hip flexors and tie ins (Hammiis) which have become increasingly sore. This may be due to my AS as it has been cold and these areas tend to get quite stiff to the point that it feels like they have been torn off the bone-seriously. I amazed my self again by supersetting smith squats and leg presses one after the other and then hack squat and leg extention.
I had a bit of a blow out this weekend. It may not seem like that to you-replacing tuna with shakes and having a flat white coffee, but I didn’t feel good about doing it after the fact. I have been under some considerable stress in regards to trainers etc this whole year. And have felt quite undervalued as a client, competitor and person because of it. My self esteem unfortunately usually rests in the hands and words of others ie:I depend on encouragement and praise from those I am being guided by. Maybe many competitors feel this way this close to the comp-I doubt I will make it in fact to that stage and it is only week eleven. Not because I don’t train or “diet” hard enough. But because when I feel others don’t have faith in me or try to make things harder for me than need be, I tend to collapse under the weight of my own depression and feelings of being overwhelmed.
Many people her have helped me when I have mentioned here and there my doubts about myself in certain areas, and I appreciate their words of encouragement so much. I have been corresponding with Jas from online training MBS, and even though I am not her trainee she has been wonderful to me. I guess I still don’t feel as supported as I thought I would be and that I have wasted a lot of time and money handing over what I know how to do already. I appreciate my current consultancy trainer as I felt at the time I needed someone to hold my hand especially with the “dieting phase”. And I still need help there but I’m not getting it…and feel lost and alone……
