We are now less than a month away from the Vancouver Island Showdown hosted in beautiful Victoria British Columbia Canada. I had a really great week last week, stayed on track with all my workouts, all my walking and my eating was on point hitting close to a 1000 calorie deficit Monday through Saturday with a bit of a well needed refeed on Sunday which worked out nicely as it was Father's Day and I was able to live a little as I ate close to 3500 calories with close to 500 grams of carbs. This did make me hold a bit of water the next day which was check-in day but not anything extreme. My body weight was 201.5 pounds and I was 9.6% body fat according to my home InBody body index scale but it always reads about 1.5% high in terms of body fat compared to the Pro InBody machines like the one in my Gym. Unfortunately the gym InBody scale was out of commission as it is waiting for a repair part so I could not check it as a second point of reference...

This week will be much like last week with the exception that I am adding in a 3 mile early morning walk to go with my regular 2-3 miles I usually do in the evenings. This will add in about 400 active calories to my day which should help me be able to eat at least 2500+ calories per day while staying in a 1000 calorie deficit with all my activity added up.

I also hired my posing coach Jeff again to get my posing back on point, it's been a couple of years since I hired Jeff and he really helps out a lot, why do all the work and then let yourself down in the posing department?
