So I got back from NY…I went to shoot a fitness segment about fitness competition mind-set and everyday life.  It was really cool cause I got to shoot at one of the last "Hardcore" NY underground gyms (didn’t realize the difference till I went to a NYSC), shoot on top of the Empire State Building, go though times square…and make sure I had my meals fit in my day! I am soo lean and lost another 4 lbs since I can back and drank Gallons of water and carb deplete.  I went and visited a couple friends yesterday back here in Fla…and they all criticized me that I am getting too skinny…I had to make a call to one of my Fitness friends Rob Riches, and he assured me Im just lean and fine.  Its such a weird thing to battle…the scale, Im happy Im at a low number, but then again Im a ‘bodybuilder’ and am afraid of losing all my hard earned muscle.  I looked at my goals and I already surpassed the weight number a long time ago, and I passed the 15% mark long ago too(I think Im 10-12%).  All my workouts have been awesome…even my last leg workout a week out from the show.  I was at the NYSC (they’re these health clubs focused around looking at people and tons of cardio) for leg day, so I was pretty much the center of attention at that gym…there was not 1 girl who touched the weights…including my friend-girl who did cardio for an hour! Traveling means I ate more protein bars than food…or so it seems!! Tons of chicken salads, egg white omelets and overload of Sugar free Redbull(this city really doesn’t sleep!!) pretty much made my diet.  I still wish I had a NY slice of pizza or a Gray’s Papaya hot dog (not a huge fan of hot dogs… but still!) but its ok cause I can think back to the best slice I’ve had near my house and its all good Today and Tomorrow I circuit train still without carbs, then carb up on some IHOP pancakes….mmmmm yummy! So Im enjoying my water now while I still have it, and have to go get my themed outfit for the stage…Im such a last minute person…but AM on time! Gotta finish unpacking my bags…not soo much fun The weather outside cooled down soo bad it feels like NY in Fla! But I am prepared for it!! No tanning outside so Ill find a tan salon….hitting that stage Fri and Sat…need that PRO CARD!!  Stay strong guys, and I have half a brain due to carb depletion…tomorrow a quarter brain Im sure! xoxo~z
