I have read alot about mood swings and irritability during the contest prep phase due to the low calories, low energy and what not but I never thought it would affect ME!!!!!!!!!  LOL  I am being put through a test right now that is probably the hardest thing I have ever attempted.  I feel like one big science fair project and I am the guinea pig.  I am doing this on my own without the help of someone with professional training or personal experience.  I try different things to see how my body reacts and make adjustments accordingly.  I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have attended 3 bodybuilding shows this year as a spectator and wondered why there weren’t any more competitors than there were.  NOW I KNOW!!!!!  THIS STUFF IS DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING.  And somewhere in the midst of all that difficulty I LOVE IT!  Am I sick or what?  Must be cause a normal person would not even try this.

I can’t believe it has been 2 months already since the surgery.  Recovery is remarkable.  Once again thank God for His hand upon my healing process.  There is no other explanation. 

I am looking forward to competing for the first time in a couple of months.  Provided I continue to take it easy and not overdue it.  I did have a scare this week.  I thought I had blew out my fusion in my neck.  Trying to go too heavy too soon.  Just a wake up call to remind me to go lighter weight with higher reps.  I had dropped down to 6 reps at a heavier weight.  Wrong answer at this point. 

Hopefully I will be posting some pics in a couple of weeks.  I am trying to get rid of some more of the stubborn belly fat and low back fat before I take the pics.  I dropped the calories this week some and plan on taking the cardio up a notch starting next week.  Still working on the tan as well.  I may do a trial run of Dream Tan or Pro Tan before I do the pics as well.

Thats about it for now!  Thanks for stopping by to read this.  God bless you all!
