The humidity in Vegas has finally gone away and I have been able to lay out in the sun for 30-40 minutes per day. I am starting to tan at the salon as well. Trying to get a good base tan for the show. Eventhough, I naturally tan all the way up to the show, I use a spray tan application daily the week of the show. I trained shoulders last night and today is back. I have my 2 hour session of therapy with Jason tonight as well.

Up today at 8am, cardio before breakfast, 40 minutes split between eliptical and stairs. I can tell that I am getting more conditioned from the cardio...I may still sweat a lot, but the sessions are not as difficult as when I started.
