Awesome, I know your gonna be GREAT at it too, just like Patrick!!! Hows it goin for you guys?

GoalGetter · 10-17-2005, 12:21 PM

... and boy, oh, boy, are my pants tight! HAHAHA!

As promised, I pigged out three days in a row. First a with a little self-restraignt and some reluctance to show my true colors as a glutton, but soon enough with no decorum left whatsoever, piling pastry after pastry, hand over fist, into my mouth at every opportunity.

Contrary to my post-binge ritual of self-punishment, I have not stepped on a scale, as I am apt to do after such epicurean debaucheries. I don't want to know. I don't care. Well, I DO care, but the numbers on the scale will just cause needless torment, as I know most of that extra heft is water and will be gone in a few days' time.

Speaking of water, I drank nothing but that, all weekend (and not enough of it). Surprisingly I did not have even ONE SIP of alcohol. I really thought I'd do it this trip, but just couldn't bring myself to break my personal sobriety/abstinence record.

Buffet adventures aside, this weekend was a BLAST! Got to hang out with Jodi and Kerry (my partners in buffet crime), and MonkeyMan, and got to work out with all of them at Gold's. Met some of the folks from Designer Supplements and Bulk Nutrition. Met Jesse and Callie Marunde. Took pictures of gay bodybuilders holding hands. Passed out half way through Cirque De Soleil's Zumanity from sheer exhaustion. Bet $1.00 on slots. Lost $1.00 on slots. Got a one-hour massage at the spa. Rode the Manhattan Express rollercoaster... and more.

I'm exhausted just trying to remember everything we did this weekend...

Bottom line - I would totally do this weekend over again any day! Especially with such great company!

The Monkey Man · 10-17-2005, 01:09 PM

I am an eyewitness to the eating of many pastries and goodies by this group -

And I broke my alcohol free stint, to make up for whatever these guys didn't drink -

(Although, feel like shit from it)

**Jodi** · 10-17-2005, 01:14 PM

I had a great time too and it was awsome meeting you Ivonne

MM, I felt like shit yesterday too. And yesterday morning I really slacked on the buffet style eating due to the alcohol too lol! I certainly drank enough.

However all the other days I almost felt like the ring leader to the buffet. Making trip after trip after trip. When I went out to dinner with TP and the DS guys I think I shocked a few of them

GG - I did weigh myself though and let me tell ya.........MP KICKS ASS! As of this morning I only gained 4 pounds! That will totally be gone by the end of the week

You did? I didn't notice any slacking... The only people slacking on the buffet were the boys, as far as I noticed...

Ring leader, co-conspirator, instigator - whatever. hahahaha! we were all equally gluttonous! hahaha! It was so liberating and refreshing to just not care for once, and on top of that, to have two friends joining me in throwing caution to the wind, as they say!

That's awesome, jodi!

To be honest, I don't think I put on too much. I don't feel as sluggish or as weighty as I thought I would feel after so many days of bad food. I refuse ot get on the scale though but I have a feeling that it wasn't so much either. 4 or 5 pounds at most. Everything still fits. Regardless, I may give MP a try. Was reading up on it on their site today. Let's see how this week goes first. I did the glucophase prior to the last two bad meals I had this weekend, in place of my usual R-ALA/ALCAR. Might get that too

I'm open to some experimentation with both...

Only yesterday morning

The other times I wasn't a slacker that's for sure. I didn't even have dessert yesterday though

The boys were quite reserved and we by far out ate them

You really impressed me with that pizza eating at Cheesecake Factory. As little as you are, you can certainly hold on your own.

I think I started looking like a whale and I'm fat enough (in my eyes) already. Thank goodness Vegas was only 4 days long.

Ah, yes, the pesto chicken pizza. I can't believe I put that whole thing away, and then had half a slice of cheesecake. And at some point later that night, I ate something else. Can't even remember what the hell it was. It's all a blur now...

I still say we should have gotten a photo of the two of us rubbing our bloated bellies. hahahahaha!

**Jodi** · 10-17-2005, 08:40 PM

When we were at the gym walking around with our stomachs sticking out. Man, I'm so glad we didn't get that idea to take pics of that

Sounds like it was an awesome get together. One of these days I'll have to attend an IM gathering.

It does indeed sound fun... You should all come to Columbus in the spring for the Arnold Classic

.

**Jodi** · 10-17-2005, 10:33 PM

I was actually talking to TP and thinking about making the trip for the Arnold this spring. However, I think that is the same weekend my best friend is getting married and I will need to be in NH that weekend.

Seanp156 · 10-17-2005, 10:38 PM
