Sassy Round 2: Fit for Figure

[Sassy69]

This project is MUCH bigger than the Olympia, but the O is definitely a kewl part of it!

It was nice to take a breather from all the training & diet tho.... been working all weekend. I suspect I'm going to be antsy to get off my rear & back into the gym tomorrow though.

Food-wise, I'd also like to note that my muthafuggin refrigerator is broken still -- the freezer no longer freezes and its another 4 days before the earliest appointment I can get w/ the repair guy. Which means another $300 worth of steak, chicken & fish is probably shot to hell. (This is the 3rd time I've had to call GE about this.. new fridge too. Damn. They better replace that POS this time.)

Never enough time in the day...

New November 2004. Basically its a faulty appliance but GE makes you go through this whole sequence of fix attempts before they will just replace it.

and of course I have to go off site for training for 2 days so I can't even work from home until thursday to wait for the dipshit to come & tell me it doesn't work and they will order a new one which will take another week.

OK so .. .I had to go back 3 pages to find this. Big changes afoot for me. I was scheduled to do my first figure competition in North Carolina on Sept 24. Two weeks prior to that I opted to bail out of that show due to basically working 2 jobs -- my regular day job and a second project that has evolved into s new job.

I will ask you all to bear w/ me as I continuously make shameless plugs for this - it isn't a money making scheme that costs you, the internet viewer, any money. Instead this is a production company built on the joining of three very dynamic people who had the right combination of cash financing, contacts & influence in the bodybuilding & fitness world and the drive to help give back to the fitness community while trying to give those who compete with only their passion & drive for no-money opportunities, more opportunity.

OK, so back to me. Also around the time of my scheduled show, I stated in no uncertain terms that I couldn't keep my day job & continue w/ the RTP stuff. Upon getting the OK to be hired full time, I gave notice at my day job and happily announced that no, sorry I can't give you a complete 2 weeks' notice and frankly I can only give you 1/2 days for one week after which you can catch me in Vegas at the Olympia.

So, having officially jettisoned the job that moved me to Atlanta and gave me about as much inspiration as a botched root canal, I'm now working full-time (and we're talking FULL TIME!) on something that I think will turn into some really neat stuff that, amazingly, combines the stuff I'm trained & experienced in both as a professional computer geek as well as an amateur bodybuilder. AND I get paid!

One downside and irony is that I now officially work "in" the industry and also work at an office that shares a marquee w/ Gold's Gym and yet I havent' actually done cardio in more than a week. I'd say my diet has gone to hell due to stress from trying to stay on top of both jobs as well as the "freedom" of coming off a competitoin diet after literally 10 months of competition prep. Hell yea I'm gonna enjoy some damn food!

So now, HOPEFULLY as things settle down and I can stop pulling my 20 hr days, I will be hitting the gym & cleaning up my diet with a bit more structure. I'm flying out to Las Vegas to work the 2 booths we have set up as sponsors of the Olympia Weekend. Despite the hours of work, I've had the suprisingly enjoyable opportunity to do two brief interviews w/ IFBB legends Flex Wheeler & Shawn Ray who have recently signed on to work with Road to the Pros as we enter the final 4 weeks before the NPC Nationals here in Atlanta.

For the purposes of this thread I hope to get my shit back in order & not look like the "off season power lifter" in the booths next week and strike a happy combination of excitement, fun & progress.

Let the adventure begin!

Well, today was a bust. I came to teh gym (actually the office next to the gym) at around 9 am today. I'm still here at 2:30 am. Fuggg. Trying to get things in order for the Olympia.

The good news is that the boss is gone tomorrow & I might actually get a few personal things done. Maybe even get some sleep....
