As I sit here a supertanned freak………
Tomorrow night at this time I will be in a place far away. Never done this before. I have driven to Florida and up New England a couple times, but this takes the cake. I do lots of things alone, but I don’t really like it. I have to either sing or hum when I am doing something alone (okay, take your mind out of the gutter guys). Seriously, you will probably see me moving my lips in some of my videos. I am singing. I sing in the car, I sing at work (yes, I suck at it and people do tend to point that out)I also catch myself humming when I am grocery shopping. It’s weird.
No workout today. I will do some dumbbells tomorrow at home before and after packing. Better than nothing. I actually got depressed at work. I haven’t taken a week off in Over a year. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t really like to have to go to work everyday, but I am a routine person. Then everyone needs a hug goodbye……..ewww mshy stuff. My office mamager even gave me her Virgin Mary from Lourdes to carry with me on the plane because she knows I am afraid. She calls her traveling Mary..too funny.
A for the tanned freak. I painted on Jan Tana show tan to sleep in. I just can’t tan enough normally with my skin. Im’ part Irish. It works good, but you have to get someone to do your back or look like a dog trying to catch his own tail when you try to do your own back. My lats get in the way…….but that is a good thing. After this (near) week off, I am going to come back and go a little heavier for about 3 weeks, then light again until the November show. The thing is, you can think you look fantastic and place really badly. This is what freaks me out. How to know what the judges are looking for. Muscular, ripped, rounder with no cuts? WHATEVER!! I am just going to do my best I suppose. I wil blog again before I go. I am addicted to coming here and will have no internet access!! You guys are my rocks . Just to know that there are other people out there who love the same thing I do, makes me feel less like a freak.
I have to sleep…you should see how many pillowcases I have ruined with tanner…….ewww

Fern, you are the expert, but I note that the dry weather in Las Vegas usually requires a visitor (and the natives) to drink a lot of water. Check with a knowledgeable bodybuilder about the effect of a dessert environment on water in-take needs. As you know, bodybuilders usually avoid drinking their usual amount of water before a contest or photo session. But avoiding water in a place where one should drink more water may have bad consequences. Again, please ask someone who knows about this. Above all, have a wonderful trip and enjoy!
