Booya

Well, just got home after an exhausting and exhilarating weekend.

The event was a blast. The staff and other competitors were all friendly and helpful. So onto the results!

I entered Junior (24 & under), Novice (never won a class), and Light Heavyweight (174-194). I came in at 177 lbs. There were 4-6 people in each class, all great competitors.

I got FIRST for both Junior and Novice and FIRST in Light Heavyweight, as well as best poser. The overall (and pro card) went to the lightweight winner.

Thank you Joe for all your help - you made peak week and competition day stress-free.

I gave this everything I had, and it was great to see it pay off. This was the first bodybuilding competition I even attended, so to walk away with three titles is still hard to grasp.

Now to get to bed and try to start eating clean again, and put the 10 slices of pizza I had for lunch behind me!

Few Questions

• Not sure if I am reading it right, but on Friday do you want me doing a repeat of my thursday workout (ie upper body circuit training)?
• As for CARBS on Friday - WHEN should I be eating these, breakfast and close to bed?
• To get rid of my dairy I am switching to tuna instead of ff cottage cheese at night, and will stay away from whey protein - good?
• Do you want me to eat the small (15g protein) or large (30g) Detour bars?
  

Salt vs Sodium?

I was wondering, for sodium intake I should be looking at the actual sodium, not how much salt right? So for my sea salt 1,200mg = 440mg sodium. I should be counting sodium, not salt... correct?
