Thoughts: I just had the most brilliant thought this morning as I was browsing the Bodyforlife.com web site to check out the changes. (Thank goodness they updated it recently. The old site was seriously G-H-E-T-T-O.)

Since there aren’t any set dates for entering the challenge this year, nor are there any set dates for the Abs Diet 6 week challenge, I should totally bulk back up hardcore to gain as much muscle as possible over the next two months even if it shoots me back up to 145, take some “Before” pics at the height of my clean bulk fluffiness in a too tight bikini that will cause all kinds of rolls and lumps to appear, and THEN start an official challenge cycle to achieve the most dramatic results possible! I’ll then dump off 20 pounds of blubber in 12 weeks by neurotically counting and zigzagging calories, ignoring the palm-fist rules, and going turbo with the extra cardio that BFL purists are always slamming down and win enough money to buy myself a cute little cottage somewhere with my own home gym and enough room for about 20 cats.

Grand idea, no?

Oh whoops…I’ve just revealed my evil plans to about 200 of you regular visitors. Don’t bust me out to the BFL judges, okay? I really want to become an eccentrically wealthy cat lady with uber-buff arms.
