4 weeks and 6 days
Just a note, Met-Rx "Protein Plus" shakes suck.

And I feel even smaller now than I ever have. I was doing cardio next to Toney Freeman a couple days ago. Yikes

Trust me, I'm actually behind at this point.
Ok, so I ate big carbs for a couple days and no cardio, hoping to trick my body into thinking the diet is over. Now I'm back on it full throttle, hopefully to be ready by show itme.
I have refused to look in the mirror at all this week. Dead serious. I won't look at myself without a shirt on until Saturday, and I'll compare this point two weeks out from a show with last years two weeks out and see where I'm at. I'm not happy with how I looked last year, so I think if I'm not better than last year at 2 weeks out, I'll drop out of the show. I'm in an Open class now, I can't be off. And yet, at two and a half weeks, I'm still carrying noticeable bodyfat. I don't know that it can be dropped that quick naturally.
I haven't even looked in a mirror; I don't have any pictures.
I think I cut down too early, started the cardio too early, both of which have probably contributed to my body not wanting to let go of any fat.
The biggest problem was that I had to take a couple of trips right in the middle, and food and workout wasn't a luxury I was able to partake in on these journies. If I could get those back, I'd be golden. But, I don't have five weeks, I only have two... and I don't think it's enough.
I'm debating if I should just go crazy on cardio these last two weeks and try to FORCE my body to drop this fat, or at least as much as possible. I'll lose muscle, but I think the trade off would be worth it as, if I don't do the show, I'm losing two years prep and four months of dieting all for nothing.
Resting today. I had been taking Saturday's off, but I'm taking today off (really worn out) and it'll be my last day off before the show... if I do the show...
Added cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I'll do this until a couple of days out, which is where I'll figure out whether I'm stepping on stage or not for sure.
I'm taking a serving of BCAA's as soon as I wake up, as soon as I walk into the gym, and as soon as I step off the cardio machine. Then I'm coming home to eggs.
Shaved today; had to do it now so I can practice and keep the razor bumps down. For this reason alone I'm telling myself I had better do the show, because shaving SUCKS.

Either my scale is fucked, or I'm still 169-170 pounds. WTF?
I'm going to have to change up the final week plan leading into the show. I know most people go with the sodium depletion and a strict carb deplete then load, but I'm going to focus on losing as much fat as possible and get those extra couple of days in.
I'm going to go low-carb Sunday and Monday, and no carb Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday until weigh-in (about 7pm). Then I'll carb up Friday night and Saturday before the show.
I'm dropping water Friday at noon.
Sodium I don't know I'll worry much about. I think I'll only do the boiled chicken and broccoli route (no sodium days) on Thursday and Friday.

A Week! One Week! One Week Away!
My scale is uber-fucked. Three days ago I was 170. Yesterday I was 165. Today? 163. Uh huh. Right.
I'm skipping the sodium depleting. Just decided, with some advice, that it's not a good idea in my situation. So, starting tomorrow I'm not adding any extra salt to my food, but that's the only change. And, I'm drinking two gallons tomorrow to flush my system before Friday's dehydrate.
Well... I'm sitting here drying from my third coat of Pro-Tan. Nervous about making weight, too. I'm two pounds over and I just quit drinking water. So... I hope...
It's over folks. I missed my lightweight class by two pounds! I ended up a Middleweight; I took 5th. Not great, but I brought home some hardware. It's over!
thanks bro. I should be able to get some up sooner than later.
Here's one with me and one of my clients. He's got 22 pounds on me. He was at the higher end of the class, and I was only a pound over the start weight for it! LOL
I'm already up five pounds. YUM!
