Working Abroad!

Since the end of February 2012 I'd decided to set myself a target of losing as much body fat as I possibly could to achieve my "Summer body". I named it "Mission Summer body" and took it very seriously! This was the first time i'd ever done this and thought It would motivate me even more If I were to treat it as if it were a bodybuilding competition I was preparing for. (Of course what i'm actually preparing for couldn't be any more relaxing, however I didn't let this fact effect my efforts to achieve "Mission Summer body" the best I possibly could) The deadline for this target is later this morning at 9.20am when I fly to Ayia Napa Cyprus to work for 6 weeks. As you can imagine my gym regime will change drastically as I won't be able to upkeep my strict diet or workout as often as I wish.

Last year I worked for the same people in Ayia Napa for 10 weeks and I can regretfully say everything I had worked for in the gym prior to that 10 weeks had most certainly been lost by the time I arrived back in the UK. This was confirmed when the following conversation took place with my Nan.
*Knock Knock*
*Nan Opens Door*
Me "Hello Nan!! You alright!? :D"
Nan "Yuh Skinny. Yuh didn't tek no weights witchu :/"
Me "-_______________-"

This year I'm determined to prevent this experience from happening again. So my plan of action is to in fact begin my mass phase as soon as I land, not in an attempt to gain weight, but to maintain it. I've prepared my mass protein powder in food bags.
2 x Dorian Yates Formass Vanilla Ice cream 2270g
60 servings = 120 scoops
120 scoops / 42days = 2.8 scoops per day
2.8 scoops in the am + 2.8 scoops in the pm = 5.6 scoops
120 scoops / 5.6 scoops per day = 21 days.
Which means the powder i'm taking will only see me through half of my stay in Cyprus :(
(I will be buying a mass gainer whilst i'm out there to make up for the rest of the time i'm there)

Getting through customs will be exciting...


Being surrounded by KFC, Mcdonalds, and Pizza Hut etc will ensure this is no easy task. However I am confident for my plan to work as I'm heading to Miami at the end of August and you can imagine I plan to be in top condition for that holiday too!

To summarize, my main message in this post is that I won't be writing any posts whilst I'm working away for the next 6 weeks :( I hope you all have a great summer and achieved your "Mission Summer body" to your own satisfactions!
