I'll update everyone soon about the adventure I'll be going on next weekend; until then wish me luck.

I wish you luck...and look forward to hearing more about the adventure/opportunity!

The last three nights have been mentally tasking, but equally as rewarding. Out of the blue I had received a phonecall from the WWE about an opportunity to be an extra on their pay per view and tv tapings. Being on my current cut the timing seemed perfect so last second we threw the trip together to make it happen. So Saturday my family and I drove 13+ hours to Phoenix, AZ for Sunday's event, then 5+ to Las Vegas the next night and another 5+ to San Diego for last night. In a nutshell three states in three nights; I'm pooped, but I took a lot away from this experience. Today I'll be hitting the beach then taking the kiddies to Disneyland and then tomorrow back home. I'll give me details when I can sit at my computer.

Got home around 10 Thursday night; and had to turn around and wake up at 3AM to prep all my meals for the day. Then on Saturday had to go into work early, so I have still yet to really recover from this trip. A great experience overall; I was never needed for anything, but I learned a great deal over those three days. Tuesday I received my tryout; that was a little nerve racking, but once again well worth it. God works in mysterious ways and doors can be opened at any time you just have to be ready to walk through them. I'm realistic about this aspect of my life, so regardless of what happens I'll maintain a positive attitude. At this point just gonna continue to train hard, eat right, work towards my goals, condition myself to be mentally and physically ready for whatever God throws my way.

My cut has officially ended after 13 weeks; I now am around 175lbs. I will now start a clean bulk and start training to compete in power lifting. Ultimately my goal is to set the Nevada state records for my age and weight class in the 3 lifts. Then in around two years after I've put on some lean mass I'll do my first bodybuilding show.
