Are We There Yet?

Nineteen. That's the number of days left until the moment of truth. Weighing in at a crazy 182 and cutting up pretty good. These last few days will be tricky. Through experimenting, I don't think carbing up too much will be a good idea. But, its hard to tell, since the diet switches up so drastically. Sodium loading may be a factor as well. I've found that cutting carbs ultra low has me super shredded in the mornings, which is when I want the shred the most. We'll see.
     I'm nervous as hell. It's been a long time since I've gotten on stage and I know that there's gonna be some wicked competition. That's cool. Like I told a friend. If I win, cool. If I place, cool. If I don't do either, at least I'll walk off that stage stronger and smarter... and a step closer to a box of glazed fried bread. That's a win/win in my book. Either way, I need this show, the experience. It'll be sure to light a fire under my ass so that I can focus more on competition training versus just working out. I'm mad at myself because I spent the last couple years "working out" when I should have treated it like PreContest training. My bad. No need in dwelling on it. "Why you gotta bring up old shit?!"
      This may be my only show for the 2011 season. But, 2012 will see me on stage in different parts of the southeast. So, you guys wish a brutha some luck. Pray for me.
