I have found that as I have gotten older I am even more motivated to work out because it is the best anti- aging antidote out there

Well I ended up thiird at the NPC Cal show which was really disappointing after I checked out the contest photos today at Musclecontest.com. I thought it should have been 2nd at least. But I was really pleased with my condition which was the best ever. The week before the show I carb depleated...
I looked for your blog about NPC. A work in progress? Let me know when it's up. In the meantime, tell us what your next couple of weeks are going to be like in prep for the contest. Your last blog was before your accident.
You look great. Welcome to the "over 60" group. You'll have a lot to contribute. I, for one, will be pumpin' you for lots of info about competing. I've got my eye on a show in April.
