Random thoughts:

My set point weight seems to be falling between 128 and 132 regardless of caloric intake, which means I’m just really working on improving composition for the remainder of this bulk and I can leave the scale alone. While I look better at this 132 than I looked at my previous 125, I am soft.

Diet will improve this week!  Getting paid means groceries, and groceries are good.

Rejection is not fatal.* It’s merely someone’s opinion.

Supplement notes: I’m going to use Cardio Blast on my leg days and Nitro Fire on my other days. Cardio Blast gives me good energy without the pump, and I do not like to use pump products on leg day!

My legs are a bit toasted already, even though I stretched well.

Adversity is NOT our greatest enemy.. Someone once said.. “Cripple a man and you’ve got Sir Walter Scott.. Lock him in prison and you have John Bunyan.. Bury him in the snows of Valley Forge and you have George Washington. Raise him in poverty and you have Abraham Lincoln.. Deafen him and you’ll have Ludwig van Beethoven. Call him a slow learner, retarded, and write him off as uneducatable and you’ll have Albert Einstein..”

Yes, this product will be available on BB.com

Yes, this ad in now out in the April issue of Fitness RX for Women
and will be in the May issue of Muscle & Fitness.Cardio Blast — a great-tasting, sugar-free pre-workout "blast" (or "shooter") to assist in burning fat and calories, boosting metabolism, increasing mental focus, promoting thermogenesis, and attaining peak performance.

Cardio Blast is a 3-ounce liquid shot packaged in a unique, convenient, single-serve ready-to-go container (no refrigeration needed). With a great-tasting blue raspberry flavor, Cardio Blast provides a powerful blend of clinically tested ingredients such as Caffeine, L-Carnitine, and Chromax([R]) Chromium Picolinate, along with Green Tea Extract, Biotin and Evodia Rutaecarpa to help fitness enthusiasts blast through their workouts. Soon to be available online and at retail across the U.S., Cardio Blast is a perfect choice for women and men desiring an extra workout "push".

I have been very fortunate in my brief competitive career.  I have competed at the National level, I have met and been inspired by some wonderful people in the fitness industry.  I have worked with talented photographers.  I have written nutritional plans for novice competitors.  The most frequent topic of discussion by other similar minded people is usually about one of my accomplishments I am most proud of - my role as a Prolab sponsored athlete and spokesperson for the Prolab Nutrition supplement line.  As part of being a member of Team Prolab, my opinion and input on new supplements is valued.  Our research team communicates with our athletes to see what would be most beneficial to us, what a real bodybuilder or figure athlete would like to have at his/her disposal.  We are on the verge of the release of a new product.  I, along with the other Team Prolab members were able to alpha sample it, and offer our feedback to make it the most effective and best tasting product in its category.  Additionally, you’ll be seeing a full page ad for this new product in the May issue of Muscle & Fitness…. featuring yours truly! 

I’ll share more details as soon as I’m allowed.  Those of you who attended the IronMan Pro may have sampled it already, but we will have samples at the Arnold Classic Expo for sure, so make sure to come by, introduce yourself, and I’ll hook you up with some… ______!

If you plan on attending this year, please come introduce yourself at the PROLAB booth!  I’d love to meet all of the Bodyspace members I have yet to see in person!

L.A. Woman Wins Prolab Contest:

Receives $20,000 And Gives It To Her Father For Christmas!

Fitness Enthusiast Is Grand-Prize Winner Of Prolab Sweepstakes, With Almost 400,000 Entrants And 250 Other “Instant” Winners Of Prizes From BodyBuilding.com And Prolab Nutrition.

CHATSWORTH, CA; December 24, 2008 - Prolab Nutrition, Inc. announces that Los Angeles resident, Karla Reyes, is the grand-prize winner of the 2008 Prolab Charging Forward Dodge Charger Giveaway sweepstakes. Given the option of a new car versus cash value, Ms. Reyes is accepting the cash - $20,000 total - which she is giving to her father as a Christmas present!

A total of 388,923 consumers entered this sweepstakes, launched at the 2008 Arnold Classic - the nation’s largest health and fitness consumer trade show (February 29 - March 2, 2008); and, it continued through the Joe Weider’s 2008 Olympia Weekend (September 26-27, 2008) - showcasing the latest sports science and nutrition innovations to more than 25,000 bodybuilding and fitness enthusiasts from around the world.

Karla Reyes Won The 2008 Prolab
Dodge Cherger Giveaway!

The public was encouraged to enter the contest at Prolab’s booth at both trade shows, as well as online until October 31, 2008, via Prolab’s promotional partner, Bodybuilding.com, the world’s top online sports nutrition retailer and most visited bodybuilding and fitness web site. Reyes entered the promotion in person during the Joe Weider 2008 Olympia Weekend.

Upon hearing she is the grand-prize winner, Reyes exclaimed, “I always wondered if anyone ever won things given away at contests like this one!” She continued, “I’m so grateful for all the wonderful blessings I’ve received this year, and I want to thank Prolab and Bodybuilding.com for offering this contest, allowing me to give my dad the Christmas present he deserves and show my appreciation for everything he’s done over the years for our family…we are all very close.”

Born and raised in Acajutla, El Salvador, Reyes moved to L.A. with her family in May, 1992. She is one of six children to her parents, who both work for L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. A Licensed Vocational Nurse and graduate of St. Francis Career College in Lynwood, CA, Reyes is finishing her prerequisite classes in order to enter an RN program. She’s also a hostess at a Beverly Hills restaurant.

The day she was notified of winning the prize, Reyes said she had been worrying about one of her patients. She was lunching with her sisters when she received Prolab’s call that she won the grand prize and, she said, “It brightened my day.”

A fitness enthusiast - her motto is “Fit For Life!” - Reyes uses Prolab® protein shakes for supplementation, and she loves weight training…she goes to the gym five days every week.  She also enjoys boxing and jumping rope for cardio workouts.

Reyes has also been competing for more than six years, including two NPC (National Physique Committee) events in 2002, placing 15th in her first-ever competition, and placing 10th in her second competition. In fact, it was at this NPC competition where Reyes met and befriended Team Prolab athlete Moji Oluwa while they were both competing there…she didn’t know anyone as it was her first-ever show.

Reyes stated, “Moji gave me some very useful advice on how to do better in future competitions, and we’ve stayed friends ever since, even working together in the Muscle Beach Venice competitions.” She added, “He was a judge at my last show, and I’m also friends with his lovely wife.”

In 2003, Reyes joined UNBA (United Natural Bodybuilding Association) and entered one of the organization’s competitions, winning 1st place in the bodybuilding category and 6th place in the model search category. Since 2004, she has competed in the Muscle Beach Venice figure category and has won several 2nd place trophies and a 3rd place trophy.

Approximately 250 “Instant Win” prizes were also awarded in the Prolab sweepstakes from March through October, including Prolab products and other items, such as shaker cups, t-shirts, and more from Bodybuilding.com. Additionally, contest entrants were offered to join the free Prolab VIP Club, with training and nutrition information provided by Prolab. Visitors who entered the sweepstakes at Prolab’s booth at the trade shows also received free Prolab products and other giveaways, and Team Prolab athletes were there to answer questions, sign autographs, and pose for pictures.<strong />

I have a lot of work to catch up on at the office, and I seem to be up late since I have a huge volume of food to cook these days!

As long as I have a desire, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death. We must find a great reason to wake up every morning!
