COMMENTS
Sleep - Time and Quality: Done.
Mood/Aggression: Started out positive and ok . . . Until I tried on my posing suit :no1: Damnit, I am too fat, and the bottom doesn't fit - I need to lose another 1-2 (ideally ~2) inches from my hips :tongue-tied: (more notes under "Body Composition and Look")! :angryfire:
Energy: I am here, there, and everywhere, moving around like a whirlwind, wanting to just keep on going - yeah, I have energy.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Study some today.
Metabolism: Great.
Stress: After this morning, my stress has SKYROCKETED!
Pump: Not as good as it has been - needs to get a lot better this time NEXT week.
Vascularity: Have to work more on getting it to come out - nutrition is the key, because it didn't happen today :aargh4:
Quality of Training: Wasn't really training today - just trying to figure something out for my "pump up" next Saturday.
Recovery: Good.
Body Composition and Look: 110.4 pounds at 9.1% bodyfat :disappointed: I only lost 0.4% bodyfat this week :surprised: - WITH perfect nutrition, hard and intense and high volume training, and sleep every night! :wtf1: Seriously; that just guts me! All that effort and discipline and for what?! I have to lose 1.1% bodyfat by next Saturday! . . . I look ok in clothes, back down to my usual size 0, but the posing suit bottoms are too small and I still have a tyre that gets cut into by my posing suit

aranoid: . . . FCUK! . . .
Other Notes: Only a couple more things left to do and get for next Saturday - doing tonight/tomorrow . . . After the revelations today, I've decided since there are six weeks after this competition until Worlds, every other week until Worlds is going to run as a week-pre-competition week, with nutrition and training kept strict on the other weeks :crazy: . . . Tomorrow starts my week-pre-competition. I am going to have to add in some pm cardio a few days, and make resistance sessions even TOUGHER :sigh1: SOMEthing has to happen to get me to competition shape! :buttkick: . . . Going to try and relax the rest of today. I need to work on more study assessments. Also get to travel a little and meet someone that's been a long time in coming . . .
