Today I weighed in at 164 lbs. This is a 2 lb drop from last week. I am fighting off a small cold and I had to make a decision as to keep training or get some rest. I decided to keep pushing forward but I did not train to complete failure. I did just enough to make sure I stimulated my muscles. With only 3 weeks to the NGA California Natural I can not afford to stop my training. Last weekend I just did not feel good and I was unsure why I was feeling so run down. I thought maybe it was the diet so on Sunday I decided to eat a lot of food. I cannot tell you how much I ate but it was enough to probably cover two to three days worth. On Monday I did not seem to feel any better and by Wednesday night I came down with a head cold. Nothing major but enough to make me uncomfortable. I feel better today except I am still a little congested. Today I was going to do cardio in the morning but with a 2 lb drop I decided to wait until tonight. I look a little flat this morning so I think I dropped about 1 lb too fast. I will try to keep the pace at 1 lb a week until July 18. At that pace I will weigh around 157 -158 lbs. I could possibly still be a lightweight at 156 lbs. but I will see when I get to the weigh in. I did not take any pictures this week but I will at next weeks end. Until my next blog keep training hard and naturally!
