Well I am into the final 2 1/2 weeks now, and there is literally nothing left in the tank. I have dropped my post workout simple carbs (a week ago), so the body has no choice but to start chewing on that last little bit of fat. Looking back at last weeks pics, the difference is amazing, especially in the morning.

Cardio is still high, 5k interval in morning, 15 mins eliptical after each workout and then another 5k in the evening. Next week will be my last full workout week so i will go back to one workout instead of 2. I will go as heavy as I can for less reps. From there I will do maybe one light workout on wednesday before the show.

Peak week plan so far (subject to change) is to carb up on monday tuesday and wednesday which will give me time to adjust any carb spill over. Would be interested in opinions on this, as the jury is still out. And then just rest and maybe a couple of light walks, colour and lots of posing.

4 weeks to go and I thought I would chuck up some crappy photos. Must send wife on photography course. These were done at night after about 8 litres of water during the day. Its amazing the difference when you first get up to later that night. Anyway the photos dont do me much justice I think. Everything is on trackwih just a little more off the tummy to go. Better lighting and early in the day the abs are far sharper, and I havent had as much water then either. Anyway nearly time to eat again and then beautiful sleep.

Sorry guys I have been under a dieting rock lately. But I was looking for the big girl to see how she went in her comp and it says her account has been made inactive. What happened? jeez you take your eyes of the game for a moment and all the players change. SHe inspeired me to do my video blogs, so whats the story?

Well pays to keep on top of things. Found out the comp date is on 17th May not 11th like previously read. Good news is that I still have 32 days to go. Carbs are still highish but so is the amount of cardio I am doing. Things in general are looking good and seem to be on track. Need to get rid of that persistant little bit around the lower abs, but still have a bit of time.

Have just done 2 days of higher than normal carbs, about 50grams more so today and tomorrow will cut carbs in half just to make use of that quicker matebolism, before it switches on. Pays to keep the body guessing.

Man does anyone know how to make cottage cheese taste nice. What a crock by the way "cottage cheese". Cottages are cosy and nice and fill your soul with pleasant experiences. Cheese well it must by the nicest of dairy products on sandwiches, toasted, over the top of your lasagne. So how the hell did putting both words together end up with such a vile concoction. Mum always said 2 wrongs dont make a right, how does 2 wonderful rights make something so completely wrong. Sorry but i am hungry.

Anyway starting to get a little panicy, seeing viens in my upper legs when the light is right now, so am obviously getting lean, but the abs a still hanging onto some fat. Well maybe some fluid as well, i am still on between 8 and 10 litres of water a day. Am probably going to drop another shake now and replace it with whole food, and with 3 weeks to go will drop the post workout shake and replace that with real food also.

My unofficial contest prep guru Dan the man was in the gym today and suggested doing some more cardio after each gym session, instead of dropping any more calories. I am happy to agree with that. I shall now be up to 4 cardio sessions a day, starting to wonder when the light at the end of the tunnel will lead me to that homemade lasagne. Well its time to eat again, catch you all soon.
