If bodybuilding were “my life” then I wouldnt’ be doing this. But since bodybuilding is just something I do and I still have friends and family I will do this. My wife Pearl, daughter Brooklyn, brother Zack, and his girlfriend Lacy, and I are all packing up tomorrow morning and heading to KC to go to Oceans of Fun and we’re staying Saturday night in KC and come back home on Sunday.
I will have fun, but I also won’t stray from my diet — I cooked last night and have plenty of chicken all frozen and ready to go. I’ll also probably get some dry packs of tuna before I leave as well. I will still eat every 2-3 hours while I’m there and it will be a real hassle…. leaving the park, walking out to the car, choking down some dry chicken with some water, and then walking back into the park. But it’s nothing I haven’t done before.
I’m not really doing this for me… I will have fun, but I won’t at the same time. However, my family shouldn’t be denied a little vacation because I’m dieting. I’m still a father, husband, and brother…. I just need to balance.
