The Chronicles of “B”

Just wanted to update everyone on my first week of prep for my upcoming contest.  I have had a perfect week! Not even so much as one little crumb of anything other then what I had planned to eat.  The workouts were all done on time and with intensity and I’m pretty damn proud of myself.  LOL!!  Usually I have a little hic up somewhere along the way but not this week.  No way baby!!  I an determined that this will be my best showing ever!!  I want to win the Masters and taking home that Novice trophy would be nice as well. 

I gave a guy a spot at the gym yesterday which is something I never do when I’m working out but this guy is a competeing powerlifter and all round nice guy so I did it.  Later I was talking to him and told him I was in awe of how much weight he lifts. (He had just completed 15 seated "Good Mornings" with 225 on his back in perfect form!) I told him I thought I would stick to bodybuilding cause I could never lift those kinds of pounds.  He commented to me though that he thought bodybuilding was much harder because of the discipline involved…especially with the diet.  He told me he could never do what I do because he just loved to eat to much.  That made me even more proud of the fact that I had not cheated the entire week.

Worked out with Susan twice this week and although we kind of both did our own thing in the gym it is nice to have a companion there and know that we have each others back if needed.  Plus having Susan around alway makes me accountable and makes me work even harder.  The one thing I enjoy about our gym sessions together is when it’s over and we’re cooling down and stretching on the mats…This is an awesome time for me.  We just chill there on the mats and yack about our bodybuilding plans.  I could just talk bodybuilding with Susan for hours.  Sometimes we just lie there and feel the burn of our just completed ass busting workout.  Neither of us will say anything…we just sort of meditate and sometimes I swear I can feel my muscles responding….growing…getting bigger just lying there and it’s all pretty damn glorious!  LOL

Tomorrow starts a new week and marks 5 weeks to contest time.  The biggest contest of my life!!  If I can put together 5 more weeks like the one I just had I should be in pretty good shape.  "I think I can, I think I can…..I KNOW I can!"
