1.5 weeks to The Arnold Classic


Dear Friends and Fans,


It's coming down to the last couple of days.... this is the last week for me to really concentrate on losing as much fat as possible. My physique is coming in very good. I'm still working on the glute/ham area... but that is to be expected with everyone... it just happens to an area I've been working on, so I want that to be evident. Dave has me up to 2hours and 15 minutes of cardio in addition to 1.5 hours of posing and a workout.. my day is jammed packed. I have to try to pull myself together to then see my patients. It never fails that when you're trying to leave Town...everyone calls and needs to get in. I finally had to just close my books. I'm seeing patients this week, but just the ones that were lucky enough to schedule last week. I realize how physical my work really is. It gets difficult to stand after doing all the cardio and I often worry about straining my shoulder. I'm starting to pack and pre plan for next week. I still have so much stuff going on that it hasn't yet really hit me what I'm about to do. I get so busy just making it through the long list of things everyday. I'm sure Monday will be another story...LOL.


I appreciate all the supportive emails. I want to say thank you to all my friends here locally that have been calling and offering their help. If I had it their way... I would be laying around and they would be catering to me...LOL. Yeah sounds nice, it just seem easier to do it all myself. I guess that's just what I'm use to. But I do appreciate your understanding at least and your desire to help me.


So, just a couple more days of this. I'm still hanging in the low 140's. Dave says he's going to torture me this week.. he's almost there. I do feel like I'm in a cloud. I always feel like the bionic man... remember how he moved slow and made that noise.. I feel like that. It takes seconds to react. I feel like a stick solider... you know how there legs are stiff and they swing them forward...LOL. I keep getting shocked from dragging my feet.. I hate that.. and getting tangled in my rugs at home. AUGH!!!!


I can't complain though.. for the most part I'm doing great. I'll be my heaviest, fullest, and improved... I hope the judges notice that. I hope to blog again before I leave, but if not... I'll try from the hotel. Beth will have her laptop there, I hope to do some cam... so look out for me. I will be at the http://www.speciesnutrition.com/ booth Sat/Sun 12:30-3:00 come by and say hi.
