6 months after my first win at the Mr. Moncton there it was, my next challenge, a chance to do it again, but this time with a bigger title on the line, and I wanted it bad. For this show I had a good idea of where I needed to be, my goal was to come in even better and be more ripped. So it began, the same diet with the same time frame to do it in, as I got into the plan I soon found out that this show would be no easier to prepare for, it was harder, because I had seen myself with no fat at the last show and I was waking up everyday looking to see my self change, it was slow, well...it felt slow to me, by week 5 into the diet I was feeling ok and I could see small changes but then something happened that I'm sure has happen to a few bodybuilders, I miss counted the weeks and instead of being 7 weeks out it was 9!!! That was a kick in the stomach, I was very upset at myself on how I could let something like this happen. I soon got over it and looked at it like it was more time to get more shredded and now by the time it was 7 weeks out I was looking good, I was seeing some of the things that I didn't see until alot closer to the show the first time so I knew one thing, I was going to be better. Good thing, because this show was going to be a lot more challenging. The weeks crawled for the last few struggling with hunger, cravings, being cranky all the time, but I knew that it wasn't normal to be shredded and have no fat and sugar so low that I thought this must be just as it is when your this close to a show, again here I was but this time its was a bit different, I had some confidence, I had a title under my belt, but I was in for a real surprise as the class that I was going in was an open class, in this class it doesn't matter what your weight it is, its everyone against everyone because of low numbers in the junior classes. The judges put everyone together I was 129lbs, and the heaviest guy in my class was 159lbs. I remember after the weigh in I called my Dad who is my biggest fan and told him what had happened with the class, he was so pissed that I thought he was coming down to have a real good talk to the judges, lol, he didn't, he told me to remember that because they were heavier it didn't mean that they were as ripped, I thought to myself "yea your right, you can't flex fat",lol, the morning of the show came quick back stage we went to start pumping up, juniors were always up first and I was glad because I wanted to do this!! So as we were pumping up the shirts came off and a few of them were ok but the biggest guys were smooth, I could hardly hold back my smile, lol I knew right then this was going to go my way, and it did, not even a call out, just straight 1-2-3!
