Today I did 3/4 of a gallon and tomorrow I’ll really be pulling by doing 1/2 gallon

No carbs today because tomorrow I’ll be carb loading. Depending on how I look and feel I may carb load on Thursday too.

If time permits I’ll take progress pics. My weight dropped two pound so now I’m 158 instead of 160.

Today I did shoulders and back at my new gym which I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But more on that later.

Energy is much better today which was a good thing because I had to change the oil in my truck. Yes, I changed the oil in my truck. I usually take it to my mechanic but the last time I took it to him he overcharged me and said that his prices are going up due to the economy. So I changed the oil in my truck my damn self due to the economy! HA!

My skin is thinning out which made me really see the fat in my legs. I don’t have a lot but there’s still good amount there. I wish I could get making a change leg genes! Her legs are popping! I tell you what! Once I get my legs popping too  it will take a herd of horses to drag myself from the mirror.

OK, I’m tired, it’s late and I’m going to bed.

Good night

Only 1 gallon of water today. I’m still on the 1.5 cups of oatmeal with protein powder and protein with veggies for the rest of the day. So far I’m getting great results with "Water Out". I’ll know for sure come Wednesday. Today is day two on it and I’m really liking it so far. I’m not taking it as directed though. I’m taking the same dosage as if it’s taraxatone. Today I did legs and I’m weak as shit! It’s funny how the last time I was cutting I lost strength 4 weeks out and this cut I’m losing strength 2 weeks out. I think I’ll lift weights all the way up til Thursday and then just do cardio on Friday.

My energy is pretty low during the afternoons. Especially after I workout but my body is tightening up and I like what I see. I’ll probably take pictures on Wednesday or Thursday to see the full package.

I got some shocking news to tell you all. Ok brace yourselves!

Ready?

Ok here it goes. ……….Today I took all my shit out of my locker and walked out the doors of my ghetto gym FOR GOOD! Today I had enough and decided to leave now instead of October 10. This wasn’t a spare of the moment decision either. Three days after my best friend Jazzmon died I was sitting on the leg curl machine thinking. All kinds of things started going through my head and I begin to rethink my place there. I love my friends and I will truly miss them but I’m tired of being the only female in the weight lifting section. HELL! I’m tired of being the ONLY FIT WOMAN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn’t that sad? Out of all the women there (staff included) I’m the only one with no gut and toned! Even our f,ucking aerobics instructors are overweight!  I’m tired of hearing oldies but goodies and hip hop playing on the loudspeakers. I’m tired of dirty old men making sexual advances at me when I’m in the sauna. Ewwwwwwwwww!  I’m tired of machines breaking down and not getting fixed. Make that never getting fixed but the basketball side had two new hoops added to the existing 12! (that right there made me really mad).

Oh and get this. A month ago my gym added "stripper aerobics" to the roster and the instructor insist that all female participants come to the class in skimpy outfits and HIGH HEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes! High f,ucking heels!  The class is held every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of the week. But that’s not the best of it. This class draws every  hoochie, hoodrat and ghetto momma from all over south Atlanta. They bring their bad ass kids on Saturday and those little monsters are all over the damn gym f,uckin’ shit up while their fat ass momma is learning how to grind up against a pole for God knows who and why.

And that’s just the half of it. Oh yeah, there’s more where that came from but I’ll end it there. Anyghettoway, I was sitting in the locker room staring off into space. I had just came out of the shower and was sitting on the bench wrapped in my towel. Suddenly I hear a few chicks brag about a new weight lost method they are eager to try. Apparently, a friend of theirs (it’s always a third person isn’t it?) anywho, a friend of theirs lost 20 pounds by just drinking 2 ounces of coconut oil a day. No exercise, no diet or change of eating plan. All this mysterious woman did was drink coconut oil everyday for a month and she lost 20 damn pounds. One of the girls was so excited she said;
"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuurl! I’m gonna go to Wal-mart right now and get me sum of dat!"

Then the other girls ask if they can ride with her because they want to go buy some too? She said sure and seconds later they were out of the locker room. I continue to sit there in my towel amazed at what  I just heard.

"Coconut Oil?" I said in disbelief and then I heard a voice in my head say "It’s time to leave. You don’t belong here anymore. Leave!"

Now I don’t know if this was my voice or my recently deceased friend Jazzmon’s voice but whoever said it I agreed 100%. So after I dried myself off and got dressed I drove myself to Gold’s Gym and joined on the spot. This was two weeks ago and I haven’t been there yet but tomorrow will be my first time attending my new gym. I had given my gym a 30 days notice and tried to stay those last 30 days but I couldn’t. Today the owners turned down the thermostat to the hot water in order to save money. So now the shower and sink water only get as hot as luke warm.  That luke warm shower was my sign to pack my shit and leave TODAY! To hell with sticking it out two more weeks. It’s time get the f,uck out and that’s what I did. I didn’t say good-bye. I didn’t leave my contact information to my gym friends. I just left.

L-E-F-T……..GONE!

It’s time for a change and a new chapter of my life starts tomorrow!

I’m looking forward to it.

First I want to thank everyone for their kind words. I really appreciate them. Thank you!

Ok so it’s Sunday and my final comp for this year is this Saturday. Since they discontinued taraxatone I decided to use another natural diuretic for this comp, especially since I had bad results with Xpel. So far I can tell that the new product by NOW is working because I’ve been peeing all day long. So here’s my plan and I’ll give a day to day update of what I’m doing just in case others want to know for there personal use.

I decided not to cycle my carbs but I have lowered my carbs BIG TIME. So this morning I only had 1.5 cups of oatmeal with 2 scoops of protein powder. All meals after that will be just protein and veggies. I’ll carb load on Thursday.
I started taking my natural diuretic today.  I did this for my 2nd comp so I know how to monitor it until show time. Today I am drinking a gallon and a half of water. Tomorrow it will be a gallon and so forth. I’m adding a little sodium to my meals and taking plenty of potassium citrate. This works wonders in prevent muscle cramps.

No workout or cardio today but tomorrow morning I’ll be right on cardio and later that day will be weights.

My posing music will be

So as you can see I’m not that far off from my second comp stats. The only thing that has changed is my attitude. I have a "whatever" attitude and that’s understandable under the circumstance but hopefully I’ll snap out of it come show time.

My Piss test is this Friday! **sarcastic yippie**

On September 11th one of my best friends who was also a bodybuilder died of a heart attack due to the neglect of her personal doctor. She went to see him for follow up visit from breast surgery and mysteriously had a heart attack right on his exam table. We talk on the phone almost all day several times a day and when her daughter told me she was dead I was beyond shocked. I didn’t handle her death well and after some advice from a few good natured posters on the female BBing section of the forum I decided to seek grief counseling. So far so good. I’m much better now then I was last week.

Some backyard plumbers were digging in my neighborhood and cut the cable line so I was without internet for 3 f*cking days! I just got connection agin 6 hours ago.

I’m one week out from my comp (yes I paid for it and am still going to compete) but my heart isn’t in it. My friend who died was suppose to be here today and go to the comp with me next week. This would be the first time I will have had someone there for me at my competition. But once again I’m going alone and I’m so f*cking over it. My body is dialed in but my drive is gone. Right now I’m just going through the motions.

Went to one of my banks today and there was this unbelievable long line.  Seriously, the line was out the door and that’s very unusual for WAMU! So I didn’t bother getting out of my car. I just came back home and called it a day. Come to find out that WAMU was brought out yesterday and even though the government guaranteed that all account holders are FDIC insured folks are still panicking. Oh and let’s not talk about the long lines at the gas pump.

So now I’m home safe and sound with my wonderful cat remaining peaceful. The Mr and Mrs Olympia competition  is going to be broadcast on  bb.com later tonight and I’ll be watching it from start to finish. So out of everything that is happening right now I have something to look forward to. **huge smile**

Ok, I’m going to fix me something to eat and then I’m going to go play in the IFBB forum. That forum always makes me happy!

cya

Man ole Man do I have a lot to tell you guys. Ok for the record I’m not going to be able to tell you all everything in this post so consider this a part one.

Dragon Con was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a fantastic time.

I ate like crap and I had booze! But guess what? I REGRET NOTHING!!!!!!!!! Oh and before you ask…………..yes the Alien was grabbing my breast in this pic. He’s a perv alien. I like perv aliens the best. LOL!

It was amazing to see the reactions of all of my friends to my toned body this year. Of course I had to get the steroid lecture over and over again. Instead of telling them that I have no intentions of taking steroids I would simply say “Ok, your right! Thanks for the advice. Now pass the booze!”  Hahahahahahahaha

I also took this time to do a product test too. As you all know I used Taraxatone for my second competition. Back in June I tried to reorder it but it was put on back order by the company because they were reformulating it. So when I thought I was going to compete in August I asked BB.com to suggest the next best thing and they suggested XPel by MHP.

So what did I think about XPel? I didn’t like it. It was like taking noting at all. I saw a little results on the second day that I took it and then after that……….nada. But that’s not the worst part. Now remember this is based upon my experience and my experience alone OK? I took XPel for 5 days and was extremely disappointed with it. When I did a test run on Taraxtone I saw results in one day. The excess water was going bye bye but get this, Two days after I stop taking XPel I started to bloat with water and I’m not talking minor bloating either. I bloated like a f*ckin’ balloon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took three days in the sauna with a no salt diet to get that water weight off me. After that I was back to normal. So if anyone out there is planning on using this stuff my suggestion is DON’T!

I have more wonderful stories to share about Dragon Con but I’ll do that tomorrow. I’m going to also share more pics too. I’ll be sure to explain what Dragon Con is and all about. I don’t think I’ll do a good job but you’lll get the idea why I go there every year.

The days I was AWOL from BB.com I was on several other forums under another username telling everyone my terrible experience with that igor looking wanna be personal trainer Thrash! WOW! Looks like I’m not the only one he tried to f*ck over. Sharing my little experience has gained me friends in very nice places. Whoo Hoo! The whole thing was a hoot and it showed people (especially in GA) what a low down dirty snake that man is. But here’s the real catcher…………I’m just getting started! **smile**

Ok that’s enough from me ladies and gents. I’ll deliever more goodies later. So stay tuned

cya!
