Bodweight: 164.6
So I’m back from the mini-vacation and am totally focused. We’re in the home stretch now and I really have to focus and take care of business… which is what I plan to do.
My calories are already down to about the lowest they will get - I just did a rough calculation and it looks like I’m taking in only about 1500 calories per day on average. But I’ve kept my protein up to around 230 g’s per day. 1500 calories is pretty low, but at this point in the game I really can’t alter that.
What I can do is up my cardio. The bike hasn’t been cutting it, so I’m switching to stairs. I did 10 minutes of stairs last night and I will start doing 15 minutes of stairs tonight and going forward I’ll do 15 - 20 minutes.
Carbs go like this now, Day 1 - High Carb (210g), Day 2 - Medium Carb (90g), Day 3 - No Carb, Day 4 - No Carb… then repeat. I also will no longer take high carb days off from cardio… I will do cardio every day from here on out.
Bodybuilding is a different type of competition - every day of pre-contest is the real contest. You don’t get to see your opponents until after the contest is over. Everyday at 5 am is the contest… that’s the competition. The night of the show is just the award ceremony - you can’t beat your competition that night… it has to be done now.
6.5 weeks to go… time to do work.

Sounds like things are going well. Way to stick with it.
Nice move on the vacation, you are right, you still have to live life.
