hey everybody....i'm off today for my big show!...i'm excited but REAL nervous!....if i place i'll be elated...if not no big deal...i know i look better this week than the week before in my last show..i took some advice of this BI board, and i'm glad i did!..keeping the h20 in until friday is a GOOD thing!!...i have no retention at all, i'm actually drier, cut, and vascular with it!....the beef/grapefruit seem to rejuvinate me too!...going on 5 days without carbs, you would think i would feel dead!...but quite the opposite!...i will load up later on today and see what happens....thanks again everybody for listen and your helpful advice and encouragement... will let you all know what happened when i get back! ....kat
