4 Days out from North Americans
So Today is the 3rd day into my last week.  That means only 4 days to go to look my best.  Today did not go exactly as planned but it's not necessarily a bad thing.  Over the weekend, I had a low day (Saturday) where I ate about 1/2 my normal dieting carb intake (75 grams).  On Sunday, I raised my carbs up to about 150% of my BW which put me around 225 grams.  On both of those days I kept my water high (about 2.5-3 gallons) and my sodium high as well (over 3,000 mg.)  On Sunday morning I looked as expected...tight, vascular, but a a bit flat.  This morning, after 225 carbs, 3 gallons of water and 3,000 mg sodium I expected to be up in weight and look a bit less tight but fuller.  To my surprise, I woke up even tighter than the day before and down 2 pounds (154.2).  The only explanation is my body is revved up and I am literally burning through the calories.  I admit, I panicked a little but by trusty advisor Lorrie reminded me that we still have 4 days which is plenty of time to "fill out".  Like I said above it's not necessarily a bad thing because I'd rather be tighter and a bit flat as opposed to full and less cut.  That being said, I don't want to settle for anything less than my best, so I will continue that plan today which is to drop about 25 carbs from yesterday and knock by sodium down a bit (2500 mg).  If I'm even flatter and lighter tomorrow I may adjust the plan.
