Here's maybe a dumb question: as I drop weight, am I supposed to adjust my calories and macros?
Here we go!!!!

Hey girl...this is just my humble opinion...for what it's worth. I wouldn't drop them until you need to drop them. If you're still losing at x number of calories, hold it until you hit that stall out.

lol...I haven't written much so you're good! LOL
I think my DBag diet is coming to a close. I must be feeling better because my appetite is back. Just had to de-booze my household and I'm back on track! Keep killing it!!

I am friggin thrilled to pieces!!! Bodybuilding goals aside, I have gone from a size 12 to an 8 and I cannot tell you how good that makes me feel!!! I have never looked so good in my entire life!!!! And I don't mean to sound conceited, just really really happy. In the early weeks of dieting, I questioned if the perceived reward was worth it. I have decided: it is totally worth it!!!!!

Hey FC! I want to congratulate you on your hard work and success!! I have been reading through your journal and I have to tell you that you are very inspiring! That's quite a size drop and you should be very proud yourself! Whoot! Congrats again!

I'm not keeping up very well with my log! I'm terrible. 
I'm still in the game, about 9 weeks out. I'm down to 162 (goal being 155 for stage). Strength is wayyyy down and I hate that coz I feel like a puss, but I know it's coz of the diet and it cant be helped. Plus I have to protect my body right now , so deadlifting 315 is totally out of the picture for now. In fact, yesterday, I could only get a measly 185 for 8 reps. Awful!!!
I haven't had to change the diet coz I've been dropping weight pretty regularly. Cardio is still the same too. But my body is making these crazy changes that are really super cool!
Fabric swatches came today for my suit, so the shit's about to get real! And I've been working on posing and I'm still no rock star with that.
And now I'm also starting to think about what happens after the show. How do I eat? I know that binging is bad. But I'm gonna binge that next night coz it will be my 40th birthday the day after. I've already requested a double chocolate cake!!! I cannot wait to turn 40, just for that cake!! But after that, then what? I'd actually like to stay around the weight I am now. I like having abs. so will the number of calories I'm eating now become my maintenance calories or do I add or what the heck do I do? I'd also like to be strong again.
And what about this tanning thing that I'll have to do for this show? Spray? Protan? Tanning bed? All of the above?
I'm going to go crazy!!!
