Okay, so it’s been 6 weeks and I’m 8 weeks out from the Naturalmania.  Boy I tell ya . . . when I said I had ALOT of work to do, I was NOT joking.  At this point, my weight has gone up to 135lbs and that’s very disappointing.  I upped the amount of cardio time to 45 minutes 5xweek so I’d like to see what kind of progress I’ll make now.  I’ve said goodbye to whole wheat (fill in the blank) and I’m down to 2 starches a day.  This is my third year of comepting and I had no idea how hard it would be this time around.  I did pretty decently my first 2 years competing, and this was when I only put in about 70% effort.  And now that I’m putting in 110%, go figure (no pun intended), my body decides to NOT make it easy.   Some sort of sick joke, I guess, lol.  Anyways, with these changes I’ll just have to wait and see.  I’m praying for improvements   Toon in next time.

P.S. - Progress pics are coming this weekend.

Okay, so after hemming and hawwing all of spring, I’ve finally decided on a show to compete in this year . . . the INBF’s 2008 Naturalmania show on September 20th, 2008.  I’m excited about picking a show but I’m also a nervous wreck because I completely let myself go after placing 2nd at INBF’s 2007 Natural Universe Show.  I don’t know what came over me, lol.  I just ate and ate and ate and ate and . . . well you get the picture.  By the time 2008 rolled around I was 10 pounds over weight (135 pounds) and my bodyfat was a disgusting 30%.  I’m 14 weeks out and I’ve got ALOT of work ahead of me….but I like a challenge
