3 Weeks Out–Prep Blunder #44
Last week I wanted to quit the contest prep; felt like I couldn’t do it again. Not as lean as I want to be, but still have 2 weeks 5 days to go. Just figured out the Creatine is making me bloated and should have cut it last week. I should be able to shed some water this week and see some changes. Instead of freaking out I have to do like the addicts pledge, "just for today…. I’ll stop undermining my efforts…, I won’t allow others to disturb my peace, I will give it my all…."
I was able to meet with a few figure women after the pre-judge. It was so encouraging just to chat with them. I am going thru as planned and see how I do. Then I will decide the next step.
Still a newbie and have much to learn.
Note to self: cut creatine 4 weeks out or just leave alone.

I’ve noticed the same effect of creatine on myself. I’ve decided it’s great for keeping lean mass while in a deficit of calories, but I think I would cut it out 2 weeks before a goal date. You look awesome! I hope everything goes well!

other than the bloat effect, do you like using the creatine? I have been thinking about using some but not sure yet…
