Post by m-14.762 »

I'm going to cut out all the beer and pop, trying to stay hydrated and focus on carbs.

anything else I could do, should I continue to work out and then take a couple days off before?

If you've waited this long to get ready, prayer would prolly be your best bet!

I used to pump carbs from beer and pizza. Lately I just renew my profile.

I used to go out to the Pillowtalk or the Bullshot and get shitty drunk the night before.

But then, I did that before most days.....
