- Well regular russet potatos were selected as the carb of choice to pull water out of me as we near comp day. So I"m on a 3 day carb up. Weight is still fluctuating around 145 lb.

Today I got a deep tissue massage (first in nearly 2 months!) and then went for an herbal body wrap and then tanning. And then... shopping! The herbal body wrap was sort of like gettign wrapped up like a mummy in bandages soaked in herbal tea bags and put it all into a rubber sweat suit & hang out for a while. It was interesting. It was supposed to pull some water out, maybe tighten skin a little & flush out some toxins. And it was just damn relaxing.

Training was awesome this morning - back & hams. I dont' remember all of it but it involved 4 sets of 9-12 pull ups putting the cable row close grip over the chin-up bar. Pretty cool! Then some cable pull-downs using single grips and the cable stand. And some DB "kick backs" but more like a full motion like skiing w/ poles to hit my back. And some DB dead lifts + butt blaster.

Then cardio.

oh I have had that herbal wrap thing done.. isn't it great!!! so calming!! did they check your measurements before and after to see if they were able to pull any water out?

I just went bumming around the mall which is near my gym. I hit Charlotte Russe cuz its my fav cheap go-out clothes place. I bought a bunch of tops but not sure if I'm goign to keep all of them or not.

The spa thing - eh, I dunno. It was relaxing, but then I also had a 90 min massage before and 20 min of tanning after. I think it probably didn't hurt tho.

Contest prep-wise - I'm now doing a 3 day carb / 3 day low carb cycle. My weight is fluctuating up a little bit because of the added carbs but still between 145-147. My strength is great and generally I looke great. The ever-present butt is still there and will probably just require some time (and lots of hypers + deads + squats + lunges I guess). The only remaining stinker is my stomach & lower back. I've lot shitloads of fat but have the loose skin now. When I do my posing I can get it pretty tight but it is hindering 6-pack. I"m sure the water depletion in the last week will help, but its just going to be a lot of whatever I can do to get the skin tighter.

On a lighter note, I went back shopping this afternoon and lo & behold... I bought a size 2 pair of jeans. Its Polo or Ralph Lauren (whatever, can't remember) which tend to run a little larger I think, sheeyit, a size 2! Just about everything else I tried on is a size 2-4. Crazy.

Another change is a switch to AM training. This should be interesting as I will be waking up around 5 am & hauling ass up to the gym for whatever I can stay awake for. And then hauling butt in traffic downtown for work and whatever I can stay awake for. The goal is to give me more time at night to take care of things like tanning & what not and also forcing me to go to bed earliier. Blah. Eh i'll try whatever for this show.

Now I gotta go prep all my meals & stuff for tomorrow. AND clothes for work, etc .etc etc.

Dropping in clothing size is just about the best feeling in the world. Go SASSY you are truly inspiring and motivating.

Well survived day 1 of the new training schedule. Alarm went off at 4:45 am, the trainer called at 5:18 to get me out of bed. I had all my stuff laid out the night before but still the logistics of trying to make sure I dont' forget anything and the fact that I woke up ever 45 min over nite runnign thru my list of stuff to not forget didnt' help much. Toss down the morning's supplements, nuke breakfast, load it all in the car & head out. I'm gettign pretty good at driving w/ my knees while I shovel down turkey patties & broccoli! Except I was gettign a little wild because it's still pitch black out on the drive to the gym and I found a broccoli floret on my seat when I got back into my car after work to drive back up to the gym. So now there's a piece of broccoli sitting on the floor of the parking ramp. I'm sure that will leave some heads scratching....

Training - quads & triceps today. KILLED my quads. But interestingly the longer I did my sets, the stronger & more awake I got. I definitely appreciated that it was still a carb day! Then shower, change & off to work. I actually got there on time but I started slowing down around 10 am as I expected. Dragged thru the day & back off to the gym for PM cardio & tanning. Still gotta make food for tomorrow & start the cycle over. I willl be coming home directly after work & do cardio here tho. Now I just gotta make sure I finish all the logistical stuff earlier tonite & be sure to take a Nytol to fall asleep better. I do like the AM training tho! (Ask me the question again at the end of the week...see what I say then.) Tomorrow starts the 2 day low carb cycle. Maybe I'll just apologize now for any pissiness that overcomes me during this time
