OKAY... So this was such an amazing show and trip!
I brought my all time best package to stage! And I placed higher than I did in Phoenix.
Another thing that was pretty awesome was how well ran and organized the show was. Totally different than Rising Phoenix. The pros were treated so good! I felt so special :)
I was/am so happy and proud of the physique that I brought! Even Tony said that I looked a lot better! All I have to do is put on some size! I cannot wait to see pictures!
Oh and Gerald came to support me at the night show! Huge thanks to him for that; and for the kit kats! BTW.. The Matcha Green Tea Kit Kats are AMAZING!!!!
After the show Tony, G, and I went to Funky Fries. I honestly wasn't hungry. I chugged so much water and zero calorie powerade after the show... My stomach was already full. But I did order a milk shake.
<--- LOOK AT THAT THING!!! It was so good!!! But I couldn't even finish it!
Thank you G for the awesome recommendation!
Sunday... Tony and I went up towards the L.A. area. We trained with Andy and Aysha at what used to be Kratos. I think it is called Motiv8 now. It was a nice gym. We all just had accessory work. It was a nice first day back to training post show.
After training we all went to a Seafood Buffet. At first I wasn't a fan of going to a buffet. I really didn't want to over do it. But I actually did just fine. I had one plate and then a plate of desserts.. But I only took one bite out of each thing.. None of the treats were any good. (In the past I would have eaten them anyways.. I am definitely learning that I don't need to eat everything in site.)
Then Tony and I checked in to our new hotel.. SO NICE! Way better than the one in San Diego! LOL.
And we went to the movies. After we stopped by Target to pick up so snacks, of course!
We saw American Made with Tom Cruise. It was a really good movie!!!! And after that, we decided to have Panera for dinner. We were both feeling icky from the junk.
Monday... Tony and I went to Laguna Beach. We just walked around. It was nice to be outside and having a relaxing day with my handsome.
Then later that day we met up with Andy and Aysha again to train at US Iron Club (aka Newport Strength).
Squats felt so weird. 225 moved like it was my 1RM. But hey... I will get back in the groove of heavy singles. And I will gain my strength back within the next 5-6 weeks before the meet in Louisiana.
After squats... Tony and I went to Buca Di Beppo. We enjoyed some bread and pasta. The pasta defeated us though. LOL. We couldn't finish it all. And we don't ever take our leftovers home because we don't like to prolong the cheat meal. Well... I like to prolong it a little... Because I got some Ben and Jerry's! SO GOOD! So fat! Oh well! Ha! Coach did tell me to have a cheat me every night. So that is what I will do!
Tuesday, we headed back to San Diego. We met up with Lanae and Ernesto at Deadweight Strength. Such a great bench sesh! I was a little worried because of the way squats felt the night before. But bench felt great!
After our workout we went back to Lanae and Ernesto's house. It was so nice to hangout with them! Huge thanks for the hospitality!!!!
Then Tony and I had to head back home. We landed in Porland a little after 9pm. We had to hit the grocery store so we could have food for the week. So we ran to Walmart.. And then home. I threw chicken in the crockpot. And then..... Muuhahahaha! I ate some more treats! Then beddy-bye :)
Welppp... That was my week! It was amazing! But it definitely feels good to be back home.
Here are some more pictures :)
