Sunday, January 25, 2009, One Week until My Photo Shoot with Gerard Rancinan for Paris Match Magazine in Los Angeles
Weight: 156 pounds
Yesterday I started a modified “last week” contest cutting diet for my photo shoot on Friday with French photographer, Gerard Rancinan, shooting for Paris Match magazine. http://www.rancinan.com/work.php I was selected to be part of a photo essay on aging.
I am on a three-day low carb diet and will do a pre-contest (pre-shoot) carb up on Thursday to fill out a bit for my session on Friday. I am also increasing water for the next four days and will drop my water on Thursday evening the way I do before a contest. I have been using an herbal fat burner, green tee caps and an herbal diuretic to drop some water.
I was 166 pounds on January 1 when I started prepping for the shoot. Today I’m at 156 and will come in at 153-154.
The director asked me to tan, so I am having two professional sprays applied on Tuesday and Wednesday. I will bring a jar of tanning solution if I need to be darker.
I was told that I would be wearing running shorts and a head band. On Friday, they emailed me and asked if I would bring some of my posing suits. I said I would. I’m really looking forward to meeting the other “players” chosen for the shoot, a bunch of aging men and women posing for a popular French magazine. Cool!
