Going to be a special day. It's hard for moms to understand what any of us do.

When my mom saw me compete she couldn't stop crying. She had no idea "all this weight lifting stuff" I did was more than a hobby.

So so true Steve, its a really big deal to me because she supports me doing this but from afar. I remember i told her "Ma i'm in a magazine!!, you got to go get it!" well she never did. I took my own magazine and mailed it to her.

Support in this dream of mine doesn't come from everyone, thats why i don't take it lightly when you guys offer encouragement to me even if its just a simple "good job" post. I appreciate it all because chances are thats the only support i've heard, read, or recieved that day.

I understand completely. Most of my family, including my father, don't really care. They have no frame of reference for what I'm doing when I compete. I'm so lucky to have a great wife.

So, i'm not sure if you guys know about my inner fat guy, but i have one. I've found that during my prep, the best way to keep him calm is to write him IOUs for food. lol! Hey, works for me!

Yesterday i'm walking out of Walmart after picking up some Osteo-Flex and what do i see? A guy shoveling huge chunks from what looks like a mountain of general tso chicken into his mouth. I didn't want to be rude but i almost stopped in my tracks.

So i've been compiling a list of foods to satisfy these cravings when im done dialing it in.

AYCE Sushi @ Bayridge
AYCE Mongolian BBQ/ Chinese
Spiniach and artichoke dip from Publix
Carnivore challenge @ Big Pie in the Sky in GA
AYCE wheat pancakes @ Denny's
Peanut butter and fluff/reduced sugar jelly and multi grain crackers

Thats all i have for now...sorry for the rant
