HI BERNIE! I hope all is well with you.

I'm on my way to the chiro this morning, gonna get an adjustment. I'm "OK" but I am a little loose in the back and I don't want to take any chances. Gonna hit the gym afterwards and work on my routine!!

Hey Rip does that adjustment when you lay on your side and the chiro pushes down hard on the top, bent leg to crack the lower back help you? They call it a hip adjustment. Im just saying cause you could probally train your husband to be able to do that for you at home. I have had it done many times and can see there is no real trick to it just get in the right position and push down, I have cracked my GF's a few times. she says it works great. That way you can get it done more often.

Getting close to the comp Ripbaby, stay focused you are right there.

OK, we're coming down the final stretch now. 18 days left.

I guest-posed at the NPC CT show over the weekend and had a great time... I have some work to do now on the routine and my physique, but my head is totally in the game...I think this is going to be good.

I will post a couple of pics later, but I am kinda laying low between now and Nats... just focusing on the task at hand.

I did a back and ab workout last night, double cardios, and did cardio this morning. I am not training tonight so that my husband and I can go vote together, but I will do another cardio.

Happy Election Day... be sure to get out there and vote!

Thanks mufasa and w8m8... and sorry Geo

Good to see you guys stopping in here to say hello!

I did a photo shoot with Mike Yurkovic from physique art.com at the North Americans, and I received my pics from him the other day. I like them...they are also a bit different than the standard pics you get when you shoot with some photographers. Mike does really nice studio work... I am hoping to be able to shoot with him again in a studio sometime.

YES, I have the total lean "joker face" going...it was the day after the competition.

I remember I was late to this shoot, and I was running around the city lost, trying to find the hotel and STARVING, so I got a huge Reese's PB Cup sundae from Baskin Robbins and ate it on the way.
