Well, my hard drive, the new one I just got in Dec, DIED!
It was under warranty and I had backed up my stuff except I did not know you have to keep outlook closed when copying the backup.pst file so it was corrupt and I had to recreate all my business data (contacts, emails, notes, tasks, calendar) and was also without pc for a few weeks.
Sorry for not being around to answer questions, I had to delete them from my server and not deal with any for awhile but am back on track again!
Update - I am entering the FAME lightweight BB division April 1st here in Vancouver, BC and also pairs! I am 6 weeks out and although been eating clean 5 days per week for the past few months, am NOW officially dieting! I only have 15lbs to lose in 6 weeks which is really no big deal......time to get SHREDDED! My 8-9 meals a day will probably drop to 6. Minimizing my carbs progressively until about 17 days out from show, then I go all protein for 10 days, then 5-7 days pre contest I carb up with sweet potato, oatmeal, brown rice, same stuff I am having now. My serving sizes of these carbs will decrease and my protein intake may decrease to 1gm or so per lb too, but I will see. I have never competed while on the separation diet, so I will be taking in 3-4 meals of 50 gm protein servings, with 2-3 carb sm. carb meals of yam or those mentioned above.
Back to eating tons of fish daily, and protein shakes, this will be the bulk of my protein as I am dropping the dry cottage cheese and Zoglos mock chicken breasts. NO dairy, no salt.
I may do the Femsport this year too, in Sept but no need to diet hard for that one, I may also do the Ms. Fitness Canada in Ottawa but still on the fence with that one due to travel and expenses and need to work out the dates for the next show up incase I qualify - to make sure it is before Nov, plus I am seeking sponsors at the moment.
I got a suit sponsor for one 2pc....thats a start!
I am going to do the Fall Classic with BCABBA in Nov this year so once I join with them I am locked in for a few years and cannot cross compete which is why I am doing the BB in April, sewing my last oats so to speak! BCABBA may let me do Figure and Fitness but if not I will be in Fitness and working toward my 4th pro card.
Other shows I don't know about may come up but Fitness will be end of year, I want to take time to bulk up for that Nov show, these IFBB qualifiers look for muscular girls, most of which at the higher level (Canadians) are not all natural but I wish to remain natural so I need to work hard to get as big as I naturally can so that when you look at me you wonder if I did do the juice!!! TEEHEE
I will not get the forehead or jaws etc of the juicers so I will still look more feminine, just more muscular.
Anyway, that's my news!
