      Flash's Quest for Greatness

      First off... Thank you to Universal / Animal for picking me as a tester.

      I'm currently 17.5 weeks out from House's show on September 12. I've already started cleaning up my diet, and hitting the cardio a few times a week. My first week of Project C, will be my first week of strict dieting, and cardio. Although this will be my first contest, it isn't my first contest prep. I was 299 in November 07, getting down to 253 in June 08. I had planned on doing a show in April, but due to extra work, and less time at home I wasn't able to keep the diet and workouts consistant enough to be able to stand on stage. From July until the fall of 08 I kept the diet fairly clean, and got up to 265. I then did a couple of cycles of Animal Stak, and got up to 278. Which is about where I am now... having dropped a few pounds over the last week or two.

      This is my year... work has finally slowed down enough to allow me to get to the gym and eat on a more regular schedule. I am usually home about a day, and then gone for a day. And now, half of the places I stay out of town have fitness rooms, so keeping up with the cardio will be easier. I've just about got the diet figured out, and will lock everything in once I take the first pack of Project C.

      Stay tuned.... this is going to be one hell of a ride!

      Okay...

      Official weigh in today... 268.5.

      I've been cleaning up my diet the last few weeks and have dropped about 7 pounds, but haven't really been 'dieting', or taking any fat burners. I wanted to start Project C clean.

      Tomorrow is the big day.... hearing good things.

      LET'S DO THIS!

      Day 1

      Pack 1 this morning... feel a bit up.. but no jittery feel. I'm very unsensitive to most stims, so this was expected.

      Working this morning... but will catch some cardio at hotel, and hit gym for workout and cardio on the way home ... probably early tomorrow morning.

      Grilled 2 bags of chicken yesterday... already got the rice going this morning..
