I vant to pump up my muscles!!!! Interestingly, my little experiment with carbs has proven to be effective. I started eating carbs yesterday and woke up this morning feeling 'tighter'. I feel the area that it can most be seen is in the abdominal region. I will continue to eat carbs through this afternoon to see where my "set point is" and determine how many days I should be eating carbs prior to the show (granted what I am seeing could all be a placebo affect, but it works for me). I have to admit getting to cheat a little bit on my diet was sure a lot of fun, but I did feel like a fish out of water. I felt VERY guilty. I ate some things I haven't had in 12 weeks! I did taper water back some, so instead of 1 gallon I was drinking a half gallon or approx 8 cups. This part was hard also. I found myself walking around with a sandpaper tongue most of the day.
Tomorrow I get back on the wagon and I am going to tear my a$$ up! For the next 10 days or so I will be hitting it hardcore and then I will taper back going into the show day... I can't believe it is almost here. This has been a very long and yet very short journey. The ability to change your body can be very addicting and I find myself already saying, "what if you started your contest prep now, how good would you look at your next show?" I know CRAZY thoughts... There is a show in the fall that might just wind up on my calendar - it is a national qualifier... hehe :)
