Short1 - Bodybuilding Competition Log

[the-short-one]

Shorty, awesome journal. A few questions please.

How long are you going between meals? I'm guessing it cant be more than 2.5 hours, right?

Major props to you for listing the Deca and GH in your protocal. Are you taking any other anabolics currently? What's a year's cycle like for you?

Lastly, if you place well in this show, what's the next stop? State championship, regonal? Also, is this an NPC sanctioned event?

2-3 hours between meals, dependng on when I wake up. durng the week I wake up at 5 or 6 - on weekends I try to sleep in until 9, so will eat every 2 hours so that I can get them al in.

right now Im just taking deca and GH. Shadow says he will be switching me over to something else soon. I didn't take a AAS on vacation, so have been off for 2 weeks on everything but my otc supps.

This show is an NPC national qualifier. I believe that means that if I win, I qualify for nationals. It would be great, but it's not my goal right now. I'll just be happy to show up in the best condition I can be in, as this is my first show. I already want to do more, tho - so who knows? I guess I need to get through this one and find out what I need to improve on...

glad to see you here, btw. I was hoping you'd show up.

ok. I need to finish my vacation log. I was rolling with it last night and my mom's computer shut down. I think her fan is broken and her laptop overheated. kept shutting down on me.

I'll try and finish this up this morning and then we have to drive back to Sierra Vista today. We're moving on to our new piece of property this weekend, so have to get all our stuf moved from our friends house and get set up in the 5th wheel. oh, joy. we get our permits to start building in a couple of weeks. I'm excited. New house!!!

FINALLY went to the bathroom. Sorry if this is more info than you needed, but hey. It's my log, and I can discuss my bowel movements if I want to.

Meal Three - ok. I have to admit that I tried my best to cheat on this meal. Not supposed to. The diet gods were watching. Here's the story:

Went to Fujimamas for lunch. It's a trendy restaurant - fusion of japanese and...something else. They have the original restaurant in Tokyo, and just opened this one up in Kona. I ordered the grilled tiger shrimp mixed in basil fried rice. bad, bad. Shadow is getting read to slap me now...

My bowl of rice and shrimp get to the table. Looks delicious. I stick my fork in it to take a bite and notice something bright green in the middle of the bowl. It was a baby hornworm, ya'll. lololol They cooked it in my rice and it was setting on top when they brought it out! I said to Jeff "Do you think that's supposed to be there?" He laughed at me and said "No." The server came back and I showed her. She was mortified, and took it back to the kitchen. She came back and apologized. The chef came out and apologized - comped all our food. The manager came out and apologized. I thought they were all going to cry I swear. It was pretty funny. They explained that they get all their produce from an organic farm un the road and the little critter probaby came from there. No problem, I say. Please bring me a salad an all is well. lololol

HUGE spinach salad with LOTS of bug-free vegitables. Sesame Vinigrette
3 glasses of iced tea
went back to room and ate 9 oz of checken breast strips from fridge.

Shadow. I'll follow this eating plan until I hear differently from you.

I'll get my pics up as soon as I can get my satellite link up in Sierra Vista. probably tomorrow.

Starting weight on December 20th at gym = 156.

I lost a couple of pounds, but I can't tell from where. My back looks a little better, I think.

Eding weight on December 28 at gym = 154.
