Reworking the Program
As one for not wanting to be less than perfect, it’s been decided to move the contest to the summer of 2009. This is frustrating in one aspect, but I want to make sure I do this correct the first time and not regret it later. I would be ready for the contest in November, but I believe it would be difficult to win the overall. Ian and I came to the conclusion yesterday that it’ll be too close to call and there would be a risk of not being at my best. Being the perfectionist that I sometimes am, there will be a focus of mass and staying lean for the next 10 months.
After the three surgeries, my body went out of good physical condition and my waist ballooned up to a max size of 44. During the last two month, the waist has dropped to about a 34. This 10 sizes wasn’t done during the last two months, but during the past nine. The result is waiting for the stomach to tighten and getting back into peak physical condition. The past two months have allowed for a dramatic transformation, but more needs to be done. The new diet will be as follows.
1 Breakfast: 8 Egg whites / with 2 yolks 30
6:20 AM oatmeal 1/2 cup
fruit
2 8:30 - 9:00 Protein shake with glutamine 40

I’ll post Friday’s cheat day diet tomorrow, but I ate about 8,000 calories during the day.
