Thanks bro. I will be competing this September and I really don't know what I will weight at this point. Maybe in the 165-170 range after shedding a little water. Currently at a very lean 180-182, but still doing some growing. Prep begins in June....OH YEAH!!!

Wow...I really needed to read that. I've become Peter Gibbons. Thanks for that post Rich.



Peter Gibbons: The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Bob Porter: Don't... don't care?
Peter Gibbons: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime; so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.
Bob Slydell: I beg your pardon?
Peter Gibbons: Eight bosses.
Bob Slydell: Eight?
Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled; that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.

that kinda hit...geting ready to graduate and i really don't want to do the jobs that partain to my major...i said to my mom today that im willing to quit any job i have that wont let me have the time off to go to texas stadium this yr and see the cowboys....im gonna talk to my buddy who is planning on take a personal training test and prolly join him...prolly be real marketable and would atleast look good on a resume ...nothing to lose

Yeah, banking was good for a while as it was the job I wanted when in college. Things change though and you learn what really makes you happy. I didn't want to end up like my coworkers.

Yes, I took a pay cut. I also cut my expenses significantly. The day job paid well, but the long days were running me into the ground. You have to take risks to be rewarded.
