Depletion Day #3. last workout before the contest.Killer. REALLY hard to do on low carbs - practiced some posing after, some of the poses that are full body squeezes (like the abs & thighs pose) left me so light headed I had to sit down.Trainer assures me the this won't happen day of the contest, I'll be eating more carbs that day and having sugar (enter chocolate cake) just before I have to pose - so there'll be both a burst of energy and the muscles will quickly (and briefly) fill out as a result of the high glycemic food. It's going to happen.Rest day tomorrow - other than brief posing practices interspersed throughout the day I get to sit around and read!Neil Gaiman is one of my new favorite authors (he wrote MirrorMask, recently made a film), so I'm enjoying exploring his work.Thanks to all who posted the encouraging words - you all really made my day!

I think it is cool you have this dream and are going for it! I am humbled by your discipline and determination.
Just a hint. I have the Abba (yes, Abba, wanna comment!) song, \"take a chance on me\", as my ringtone on my cell. You could put a song on that reminds you of the contest and how well you\'re doing. If I knew of a chocolate cake song I would be the first to recommend it! Keep it up baby, it\'s almost here!
\"If I knew you were coming I\'d a baked a cake, howdja do, howdja do, howdja do?\"
There. Cake song. It\'s ancient. Thanks benton!
