19 Days Out! And, Happy Easter!!
It’s getting closer to contest, and I still have to drop 2-3% bodyfat. It’s coming off about 1% each week, so I should be below 10% by contest, but am worried about how my abs will appear by contest. I’ve started doing 15 minutes of fasted cardio in the mornings right after I wake up. This is comprised of jogging for about 15 minutes around my condo complex. To compensate for the high impact, I’m thinking about riding my bike around, as well. In addition to cardio, my diet has been tweaked, so that I am eating a small sweet potato (or 3/4 cup of brown rice/oatmeal) and 3/4 cup of veggies with my two large meals of the day, and I’ve started doing dedicated ab exercises. Considering I’ve never really had to work my abs, as the muscles are already well developed and strong, this is an interesting change for me.
Hopefully, everyone who reads this blog had a Happy Easter, and I wish you very much the same. It was sorely tempting over the weekend to see all the goodies around and know that I had to be strict to my diet. I managed to eat very lean, although I kept getting asked why I wasn’t have this or that. At the least, maybe now a few more of my friends will come see me compete, as they’re curious about the whole show!
Still energized and excited about the show, and seeing more and more in myself the look of a natural bodybuilder!!

Easter was a really nice time here, plenty of family time:)
I commend you on resisting the temptation of chocolate. I know how hard it is to resist it.
I wanted to goto the show and watch but time and holidays did not match this year. Hope to see you later in the year and we can both trade ideas.
As ever Good luck and keep on track
