We left Toronto Monday night at 8pm. The terminal was a mad house full of students going back to University. Anyways we start up and head for the border (MMM, Taco Bell, um, sorry off track here). The bus gets stuck there for over 45 minutes because of a couple of travellers… eventually we leave without them…oops. The rest of the way there was uneventful. We arrived at the hotel at 10pm and we were very hungry and tired and since our room would be ready in 1/2 hour, we went to eat. I had typical breakfast, eggs, potatoes and whole wheat toast. went to nap for a few hours…
Tuesday evening, I was planning on playing in a poker tournament so we didnt have much time to eat. So my one eating mistake on the trip, we went to this little boardwalk side restaurant and had cheese dogs and cheese fries… made me bloated…yuck. Then I hit the tournament $80 entry fee… ended up Winning $260 for 5th place WOOHOO! then bedtime
Wednesday, we got up, had a light breakfast, and did a little morning gambling, not alot… at noon we were due to meet up with a fellow Bodyspacer, Lisa (MsNfinity) and her husband. We wait for them on the boardwalk, perfect day, sunny mid-70s slight breeze coming off the ocean. We meet up with them, had lunch (chicken breast sandwich) and cruised the boardwalk together. me and Lisa talking about bodybuilding, and my wife and her husband talking about the difference in crime and politics between Canada and The U.S. LOL
We took a pic of the 4 of us
The rest of Wednesday was uneventful. Thursday we went out to the outlet shops got some really good deals. Got some new Nike Shoes for $45 and for me thats a big deal with my size 14s. Hard to find shoes period in that size LOL, in the afternoon played another poker tournament, finished 9th and won a little money. In the evening we went to a karaoke lounge, had a blast but had a little too much to drink. Damn those fruity drinks, they sneak up on you LOL. But, to be honest, I am glad I did. Those drinks made me less inhibitive and I relaxed when I sang, and I got real applause and people coming up to my wife telling me how amazing I was. It really made me feel good and my confidence just got higher and higher as the night went on. On the way back to our room my wife said ok I have $40 with me, lets put $20 each into a slot machine. Of course we are both pissed but I say yeah sure why not…she wins nothing, I win $170! LOL. Sleep comes fast.
Friday, we leave, nothing real exciting happened. Other than the bus driver and a passenger yelling each other for the last 20 minutes of the trip pulling into New York LOL.
But all in all it was a good trip but I am glad to be home.
Now, back on track with the workouts. Well, my next goal is to look good for the Arnold Classic in March, that is a little more than 19 weeks away. So I am going to take 3 week clumps and concentrate more heavily on one prticular bodypart, that I really want to see grow. So for the next 3 weeks I am going to concentrate heavily on chest. My split is going to be as such.
Monday- chest/shoulders/triceps
Tuesday- back/biceps/abs
Wednesday- rest
Thursday- chest/shoulders/triceps
Friday- back/biceps/abs
Saturday- chest/legs
Sunday- rest
Then in 3 weeks will change it up again. Hopefully it will shock the muscles to grow.

Sounds like a fun trip! I’m just one big loser at gambling so I don’t even really try at all. I’m no good at cards and too chicken to try the craps table so it’s the penny slots for me.
We all need a break from our regular routine, including body building. You will go back to working out with renewed enthusiasm and energy!
