well today was a very good day. it was my first training day after a forced 2 week layoff. i am sure for some of you 2 weeks out of the gym doesn't sound nearly so bad at all. but try to remember that training is one of my favourite things to do. it centers me and it helps to regulate my mood. which is by no means an easy task.
i was a bit like an unmanned missle. my coach was too pooped to make it in this a.m therefore that was both a figurative and a literal comparison. all in all i would have to say that i didn't do anything stupid. i didn't overtrain and i didn't start out too heavy. i lifted with my head!
saturday was a fun day. i went to a bike shop in ajax with my riding buddy, she has a hot hand so i've taken to calling her speed racer. anyway we both came away with riding pants. so with my new tinted visor and my full leathers i feel more than a little like the miche-inator.
on saturday night i judged the musclemania show. at the event my coach talked to one of the physique photographers about scheduling a photo shoot for me. basically i have 3 weeks in order to get my body back on track. suffice it to say that i spent the past 2 weeks nutritionally cliff-diving. i replaced training with carb ingestion... i think i've had nothing but sugar filled crap in the past two weeks. so it should be of no suprise to learn my coach and i went out for a late dinner after the show. we went to eastside marios and i put away an 11" new yawker pizza. why go out with a whimper when you can go out with a bang??!!!
i now have two sets of show pics, from my friends who were there and the event photographer. i've shared both sets of pics with a variety of different people, both within the industry and out, i'm both pleased and a bit suprised about how favourable the reactions have been. i guess even now i can't help but doubt myself. i know my friend in jersey had hoped the show would 'fix that', but i guess since it took me so long to develop all these interesting idiosyncrasies its going to take more than a minute to get rid of them. but you know what?? it's all part of my charm.
tomorrow is quad day and i will be going to bed shortly to dream of free squats!!!!
you see friends, my prep for 2007 starts now!!
buckle your seatbelt dorothy it's gonna be a bumpy ride

if i may interject, my hopes are that it would help you, lead you in a more self confident/get off the bash train type of direction... a 1 bb show fix... if I had meant that you would have had to send me your usual comical "what are smoking?" quip! hehehe! You & your charm are @ least a 12 step program...& I'm sure both of us would joke..."12? Yea Right.... maybe 12x12!". Am I on target w/ this banter?! hehe!
Only you can change you, lead you in a better direction... you've got the handle bars & throttle! Lead On!
... & now the leathers too! hehe!
oh yeah.... nice work on the NY 11" pizza but that's only a medium... if you wanted to go out w/ a bang you got to have a 16"!!! : )
