Close but…no chirashi

In the 2006 Nascar movie, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Will Ferrell’s character’s dad tells his young son, “If you aint first, you’re last”. Unlike Ricky Bobby, I fell just short of taking the checker flag–which means I came in last :(. My skinfold measurements had to be 10 mm on my belly and 5 mm on my oblique but I finished with 13 and 7. I think if I had one more week I would have been there. Will admitted that he was feeling nervous about my progress. He even tried to tempt me like the serpent in the story of Adam and Eve with cookies.

In looking back, I made few mistakes that cost me my free sushi din din. I did not carb-up as well in my final days, which put too much fluid back into my body. And I should have started tightening up a week earlier than I did. But all in all, I am pretty happy with my result.

It’s been a pretty good experiment and thanks for coming for the ride. I plan to continue my post so I hope you continue to visit my site. Till next time then!
