A Peek into the Mind of GeminiJedi

It’s been 3 days of not-so-great eating, and I’m definitely missing my "normal" food LOL  It’s normal for me now anyways.  It’s weird, but comforting in that I know now why I want to compete, and I’m driven even more toward improving my physique for next year.  I know why people graze on junk all day–IT’S NOT SATISFYING.  I cannot wait to get back to my oats and eggs and protein shakes and meat and potatoes and pastas planned for my bulk.  I know that it is all totally worth it.  Now we’ll see how long it takes me to forget that again LOL  Oh, and my poor belly is all sorts of bloated from the carb/sugar binge I’ve been on, and I don’t like it LOL  I’m finally starting to flush some of the water I’ve been retaining as well, so that’s good.  I know most of the weight I gained (like 8 lbs!!) is from water retention, and I can see it in my arms and hands mostly.  My skin is sooooo dry from dehydrating for the show!  I know it will rebalance itself soon, though.

I should also blog about my experience with my Gaspari stack.  Firstly I need to thank Gaspari Nutrition for sending me the 8 weeks of PlasmaJet, SuperPump250, IntraPro (double chocolate totally rocks my socks!!!!!), CytoLean, and 4 weeks of the SizeOn.  I also want to thank Fern for choosing me to participate!  It has been super fun, and such an honor.  THANK YOU!
I’m planning on using more SizeOn in my bulk because I did retain size, but felt that it wasn’t right for me pre-contest.  I’m super excited to see how that helps me gain size in the next several weeks!

The Cytolean was awesome.  I didn’t get jittery or get crazy thermogenic flushes like I have with other fat burners.  I know the hot flashes didn’t happen because it doesn’t have any Yohimbe in it.  Still, I liked it a lot and for the last 3 weeks took 3 capsules twice daily and was fine.

SuperPump is a PERFECT NAME.  This really does give an amazing pump!  And coupled with the PlasmaJet–Look OUT!  The taste is TART but I like it a lot!

PlasmaJet.  It has kind of a nail polish remover smell to it as you pop it out of the blister pack.  It doesn’t taste like it, though, and it definitely does help get nutrients and oxygen to the muscles better (plasma expander).  I will definitely get my hands on more of this, and my husband, too, so he doesn’t steal mine

IntraPro.  Double Chocolate is the way to go!  It’s thick and chocolately and delicious and I used more than I planned to and ran out early because I didn’t want any of my other protein LOL  It’s satiating, too, so you’re not hungry an hour later.  It’s because it’s timed release, and it has casein and other slow-digesting proteins, not just the whey isolate which is digested in an hour.  LOVE IT, but the tub doesn’t last very long if it’s the only protein you’re using.  Did I mention the chocolate is DELICIOUS?

I’m taking a few more days off of training to recover from the deplete.  I am anxious to get lifting again, but my calves JUST stopped hurting today lol  I’d like to give my body at least a couple more days to recover, and I’d like to get some more good food back in my system first.
