Aw, thank you guys.

Like I said, I'm still training with the intensity & mentality that I'm doing the show. I am still giving myself til March 24 to make my final decision....but it'll more than likely be the July show.

No doubt I'll look good. Just not sure I'll look STAGE good. You know?

And plus, I plan to do this for years to come. So there's no rush. If I don't do the April show it won't be the end of the world. I'm giving this my absolute all....never worked this hard before. So no regrets whatsoever.

That's the beauty of the sport... The stage is always there!!

Just curious....how are you monitoring your water intake?

 

[psizzle_8]

We have these glasses, I measured and they're about 16oz...I have a little piece of paper I have on the fridge, every time I finish a glass I put a tally. I don't go to bed until I have 10-15

I'm mostly a lurker on this board but I look forward to reading your log everyday!
You're very inspiring, can't wait to see your end results.

That makes sense. Very similar to what I do
