9am
Woke up and once again was very light when I got on the scale. I guess I can't complain, just kinda weird how the weight keeps dropping day by day. Last week it was flucuating a lot up and down. Now it seems to know to keep dropping. Well, I'm exactly 3 weeks out till my competition. I think I look okay but I just wanna make sure I come in as lean and dry as possible. I think the Stim X has complimented my diet nicely and I enjoy the product so far. Okay, so 1 stim now with breakfast. Think I may try a dose of 2 tomorrow morning, we'll see...

9:30am
Woke up and weighed myself. About the same weight as yesterday morning. Decided to change the dose for the Stim this morning. Took 2 capsule of Stim X on an empty stomach. I then went to the gym and did 20 minutes on the stairstepper. Burned 432 calories. Its getting harder to burn the cals as my weight drops. I didn't notice much of a change with the 2 capsules. I also did not experience the chills at all. Depending on how I feel before I go to the gym for weights, I might end up taking another dose. I dont know how many caps yet tho or if I even will at all. Get back to ya before the gym to let you know what I decide for the 2nd dose.

4:30pm
gym time...still feeling okay, No 2nd dose today.

Decided to do some cardio...took 1 cap of Stim X (30 min after meal 3 & 30 min before cardio) Amazing workout!!! I was SO amped the entire time. Burned 470 calories on the stairstepper for 20min. I think i'm gonna try to dose still like that before every workout. Felt soooo good today!

Got up and weighed myself. Looks like the weekend cardio really paid off. I'm now 168. Well, if i've learned one thing throughout the diet, it's not to worry about weight. Going back to splitting the Stim doses. 1 cap now with breakfast. 1 cap 30 minutes prior to the gym later.

Valentine's Day...girlfriend was down for the weekend. Got her on her way home this morning and then went for some cardio. Took a stim empty stomach 30 min. prior. Then, some HIIT for 20min on the stairstepper. Burned 466 calories again. Getting down to the last weeks of cutting. So far, Stim has done a good job getting me through the day without any kind of crash. I have however learned that the optimum dosing time for me is (30 min after eating but 20 min prior to any workout) When I do this, I seem to feel amped from when I start my workout all the way till when I leave the gym.

6:30pm
Had my 2nd dose before I went to the gym. Felt pretty good throughout my workout, even tho I was running on little sleep.

Time for the gym. Taking one stim now.

7pm
Good day at the gym i guess. My lifts have been dropping little by little each week and it just sucks. I'm losing weight and getting leaner, just wish I still had my old strength. whatever, has nothing to do with the stim.

I'll let you know how tonight goes but I should be really busy tonight and tomorrow night with school work.

COMPETITION IS THIS FRIDAY...8PM Wish me luck!
