I'll be competing in the Mid-Illinois Bodybuilding Championship on March 31 in Ottawa, Illinois. I was going to do the Northern Kentucky, but this show is 3 hours closer to my home and one week later(which couldn't hurt).
I'll be competing as a heavyweight and natural. Like I said this is my first competition and I'm a little worried that I'm behind schedule(7 1/2 weeks to go). But I've made up my mind that I'm doing the show no matter what. I started preparing for a show 6 years ago and didn't follow through. I had at the time how much I would regret that decision.
So I've pulled out all the stops and told myself I'm doing this one in shape or not, and I don't want to be in front of hundreds of people in my underwear and fat!

Jason,
Good Luck with the last 7 1/2 weeks of cutting. It will be brutal at times, but keep in mind your goals and get plenty of sleep. Your body will need it!
