You still running the creatine or did you pull it?

I forgot about that. I pulled it. Only took it for a week. Didn't change anything. I seem to be doing ok on my own. Though my weight is now down to 133. Just trying to get tighter.

Was having an issue with holding water all of a sudden. Totally went flat. Then I realized the only thing I've changed lately was adding soy sauce to my meals specifically for the extra salt for cramping. It stopped the cramping but maybe it was a tad too much and I flattened out big time. On my way back to my usual cut up self. 5 more days!

Yeah peak week!

**Donna Mc** · 04-27-2015, 12:28 AM

Not peaking for this one. Waiting to do it for the NY Pro just a week later.

In 2006 when I prepped for my first show my coach Ken "Skip" Hill told me to use plenty of soy sauce on regular diet days when the carbs were low

Thats what I heard before. So I was trying it. Guess it didn't work for me.

Wishing you all the best, Donna!

Thanks Curt! If your at any of my shows I hope I finally get to shake hands with you. You've been a great support whether you know it or not.

I finally got rid of most of the water weight. I got my "cheese grater " back. Thats what the guys at the gym have been calling my serratus so happy! Muscular development came out with the list of competitors for the Orlando Europa. Its surreal seeing my name on that list with several women that have competed in the Olympia.
