Delicious Excitement (From February 17th, 2010)

I got a nice note yesterday from a natural bodybuilder I met during my first year of competing. He was checking to see if/when I would be competing again. I said "IDFA in May" and that I'm "excited and nervous" to get back on stage. He called it "Delicious Excitement". Yes! That's exactly what I feel! I'm feeling "delicious excitement" about my training and progress so far. In fact, I go over my workouts in my head all day in anticipation of performing them in the gym. I'm lifting heavy these days ... something that I've missed. After doing a heavy set of flat bench dumb bell presses I had to say out loud "Man, I love that!" ... especially when I'm lifting heavier than some boyzzz ... ;) LOL!

Yesterday, I felt a bit sniffly and my trainer ordered me to take a day or 2 off. I pleaded with him not to because I was excited about doing my next workout. So we compromised. If I felt worse today, I'd take the day off. Well ... the delicious excitement continues to flow and I feel great today! So ... day off averted! Let's do this!

Workout: Yesterday - chest and tris
Today: cardio
