note: do not go out of town, while you are training for a competition!!!
yeah…NOT an easy task. I am leaving for Vegas early Saturday morning and come home Tuesday night…talk about planning and preparing. Now…this is not the usual vegas trip for me (you know the partying, the gambling, the not knowing what happened the night before lol) this is a business trip and I will be working the whole time.
Soooo since I am preparing for my upcoming competition..I HAVE to be serious! I am cooking up all my food and taking it in a cooler with me..I know sounds crazy..but hello there is not way around it..I WILL not eat anything that is not allowed from Jason. Sure..you can eat "somewhat" healthy when you go out of town…but I want to be as lean as I can for the competition and I DO NOT want to fall of the wagon in anyway with my diet. I have been 100% clean and i will not mess this up now. Yes it will be a pain in the butt to haul my small cooler with dry ice and my food around but it is the only way.
Now as far as my workouts, ohhh yes I have this system down as well. My plane leaves at 9am Saturday morning. I am getting up at 4am hitting up the gym before I go to the airport to make sure I get a good session in before I have to be working in Vegas. I will arrive in Vegas..work till about 9 and then do a cardio session that night at the Bellagio hotel. Now is the tough part..from here on out I have to be at this investor conference at 6:30am-9:00pm (rough I know) everyday I am in Vegas…soooo my butt will be getting out of bed around 4ish to get my morning cardio in, the after the conference is over..time for my pm lifting and cardio…no play time for the Gato. But that is perfectly ok with me..I am on a mission and have a goal to be the best I can be for this competition….and that means giving up alot of play time.
Wish me luck..I tell you I cannot wait to be home. I will get some pool/sun time while I am there for a little bit..that’s the only exciting part.
