9 Days Out! <Insert Panic!>
The cardio is coming along, as I’m doing 20 minutes of fasted cardio at the new gym onsite at my company. They also have a group aerobics room that I want to use to practice my posing throughout the next week. Mostly, I’ve been practicing at home, but I’d like to do some more choreography for my individual posing.
The biggest news is that I’m almost completely shaved now, and all I can say is that it sucks! It’s a lot of work, and it itches like crazy after a few days. I’ve consulted a few friends who are swimmers and gotten some tips on preparation and shaving down while avoiding the majority of razor burn. Funny enough, the best advice has come from my friend, Michelle, who told me to invest in a lot of baby oil. Ok, now that I’m slicked up, I can’t actually hold onto the razor! haha.
It’s a disturbing feeling to see yourself hairless, especially if you’re like me and you pride yourself on your resemblance to Sean Connery without a shirt on (meaning the abundance of chest hair and the younger version)! I’m going to throw a coat of Pro Tan on and see what shakes loose. I think this will boost my confidence when I see the contrast and improvements… kind of a premier for what I’ll be like on stage.
I am disappointed by my bodyfat at this stage, but can only forge ahead and do the show. If the numbers aren’t where I want them tonight, then I’ll start dual cardio sessions each day to encourage more fat to drop. Both will be fasted, once in the morning, and then again one hour after lunch.
