Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 This is the third or forth question about after photo prep. that I've posted this week. I haven't had a response yet.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Hi Rick, Since I'm only in week 2 of my firt challenge I'm sorry that I can't be of much help. Someone did mention there was an article in Muscle Media in Sept. 2000 that gave tips for the photo prep. I went on-line and that article was not available. My next step was going to be taking a trip to the library to see if they have the magazine. Good luck! --- Ricky <ricky38artist@...> wrote: > This is the third or forth question about after > photo prep. that I've > posted this week. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Thank , I had the article and lost it. Someone here sent it to me a while back. I think it was Jen. There was a supplement that they mentioned taking the last week and I just couldn't remember what it was. Hey, good luck with the program! Thanks, Rick > > This is the third or forth question about after > > photo prep. that I've > > posted this week. > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Hey Rick, No problem...I'm probably checking this out at the same time! Yes, I'm in the last week, and pretty excited about finishing my first challenge. Are you having your after pictures professionally done? I'm thinking of it and trying to find a good fitness photographer right now. If you are, how have you gone about your search? (I'm new at this, and I want to make sure I'm really comfortable with the person, as I'll be posing in a bikini!!!!!) Thanks! :-) PS-I also checked out Adair's site, who recommended taking Dandilion Root every day the week before photos to eliminate excess water underneath the skin.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 I'm not sure if I'll use a photographer or not this time. I know a good one. I use to work with him when I did Architecture Rendering in Raleigh. He does Architecture and product art. He sometimes shoots models who are modeling cloths or some product. He's really awsome with lighting. I have a nice Nikon, so I may attempt it my self. I haven't decided yet. I better hury up and make up my mind. time is near!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Carb cutting/loading is an individual thing. You just have to find out what works best for you, as every body reacts differently. Are you going to tan? shave? You can use NWB by EAS or I've used Taraxatone by Cytodyne Technologies for water balance. Also you can try Glycerol to bring out the cuts and vascularity. ( http://www.neoelite.com/products/neoelite_product.asp ) And if you are serious about winning, use a good professional photographer .

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 Thanks Cheryl, Yes, I'm shaving what hair I do have on my body and tanning. I'm using Taraxatone for the water loss. I may just do the photo myself. I'm sure I'm not up to winning anything. I fill like I have already won something. I stepped on the scales last night and I've dropped 23 lbs. I've lost about 4 inches in my waist, so I feel pretty good! Thanks again, Rick > Carb cutting/loading is an individual thing.

Sent: Sunday, December 13, 2009 3:01 PM Subject: Last week This week I ended up doing 5 bike commutes and lots of stretching. This week was chilly, stormy and very wet. Some mornings were below freezing, and because of the short days, both my morning and evening commute are in the dark. I was tired by the end of the week. Yesterday was the last day of my work week, and it took me a couple of hours to get comfortable again when I got home. I'm mentally and physically exhausted today. I did not add any KB or strength. I physically couldn't. I wore a light rain shell jacket made by Marmot. it's fantastic in summer storms, or on days when it's just windy. I needed something warmer. I wore some light track pants because I didn't think they'd get weighed down by the water, but the wind whipped through them while they were wet, especially when I was standing still on the platform waiting for the next train. Brrrr... Exhausting. I just ordered some nice, warmer gear directly from Marmot through my company. I'm so glad to have fantastic discounts again because this stuff is spendy. In this case I paid 1/3 of retail for this order from Marmot. I hope they ship soon. In the meantime, if this weather continues, I might walk next week because my walking gear is better suited for this weather. I have a long raincoat and waterproof rainboots.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hi Marla,Thanks! I enjoy it. Riding in the rain makes me feel like a naughty kid.  I'll enjoy it more once I get my new gear. :)I live right across the bay from San Francisco. It doesn't get this cold too often. It doesn't compare with winters in other parts of the country.
