8 days out from the WBFF US Central Championship!   8 days out! ahh!

Today I spent some time visiting with my family before I leave for the states.

It was great just visiting and talking.

Part of the reason why I’m doing this is to inspire them to try to live healthier lives.  I love them and want them to be around as long as possible.

Sometimes I feel they’ve given up on trying to be healthy.  I hate that.

“Failure only occurs when you stop trying.”

This is why a lot of people fail in their health.  They give up.  Success will never be a straight line so it’s only the people who keep trying who ever accomplish anything.

If knowledge is holding you back. Learn.  If it’s time.  Then refocus your priorities.  Whatever it is take a moment to identify the problem and deal with it! Grow! Learn! Inspire!

One thing that has really affected me lately is the realization of how little I know.  I am a book nerd and speed reader.  I consume books at an alarming rate, but the more I learn about a subject the more I realize how little I know.

Whether it’s fitness, finances, relationships or whatever no matter how much you learn there is always more to know.  Find mentors.  Ask questions.  Ask for help!  Google it!

Don’t let mediocrity, laziness and procrastination trick you into being less then you were meant to be.

Stand up!  Be a leader!

 

I’m 9 days out from stepping on stage and it’s really interesting how precise my water intake has to be.  Right now I’m drinking about 8 Litres of water a day.

(Yes there are many trips to the washroom.)

As I get closer and closer to the competition this will decrease until the day of the show where I don’t get to drink any water and I only take smalls sips if I have too.  This is to manipulate my body into not holding excess water.

You want to be as dry as possible for the show, since this will let all the vascularity come through.  Especially once you’ve over indulged in sugars and carbs to fill out your muscles.

This is the cost I suppose for looking your best….at least the most vascular.  There are lots of people who don’t like the ripped look, but in the fitness world it is a must for the few minutes you get on stage.

Well I need to go fill my water bottle again…and go pee.

Live Fit & Stay Healthy.

In exactly 10 days I will be stepping on stage for the first time as a finale for completing my fitness transformation with HitchFit.  I’m in the last stretch but it’s no walk in the park.

What’s changing in the next ten days?  Lots.

It’s a finely timed process of exercising and dieting which should flush out the remaining water and fat.   Hopefully this will get my body fat down to somewhere in the 5% range, which has been my fitness goal for 2012.

My water intake will be going up to about 8L a day and then slowly going down to nothing right before the show.  Crazy I know.  The goal is to manipulate my body so that it’s not holding water so the vascularity can really show through.  Should be an interesting process.

I will be travelling back down to Kansas the weekend before to get ready for the show and to help me focus.

I’ll also be blogging everyday so make sure you’ve subscribed to get all the updates.

Live fit & stay healthy,
