Me by Max

What an unbelievable day!!

Tough to pic between this shot and this one!

I've been training for ten months and today was the final day. Weigh in, measurements and photo shoot. The last part got me worried until I hooked up with Max to take my photos. So I woke at half four, took my measurements, walked the troops, cooked and packed egg white omelette, chicken and haddock and set for the station. Three and a half hours later I was rolling up to the Ellis household to meet Max, Katherine, Z and Gulli.

It ranks as one of the best moments of my life. Which is strange as I hate having my photo taken and I'm not normally a big fan of my body! But I've trained hard and Max and his mate Sam guided me to make sure I got the best shots...I never realised how hard it is to try and tense so many muscles all at once!!

After some shoots in Max's studio we had coffee with Katherine and Z made me some bacon! I have an awesome pic of him in cooking action that I'll link to this when I get home...I'm currently on the train! Then the three of us headed to Bushy Park where I ran around under Max's instruction and he snapped away...and lay in stag poo! ;0) Here is a link to the other shots including the one of Z cooking!
And here is Z's photo of us all!

Back to his to shower, change and I headed north to The Guildhall for my appointment to gain Freedom of the City of London. I then mooched through Covent Garden, bought some gym kit in Snow and Rock and bought some summer clothes for Italy. I popped into Camper and they were giving out mini bottle of champagne, so I bought some boxed chicken from Tesco Express and now I'm on the grin eating chicken and drinking champers! How cool!!

Home to walk he dogs and head to bed, shattered but very happy. I love the pictures, thanks Max!!
