So if you read my page you now know that I am going through a divorce, well as soon as I complete the paperwork. As of the moment, I am still living with her and will be moving my stuff on Monday. It really sucks knowing that what was once is no more, however, I will survive and be better fo it in the end.

The part that reall sucks is now I got an extra ticket and a kick ass hotel in Columbus for the Arnold. I am still going, but now I gotta replan everything…Oh well, if thats the worst of it, then so be it. I will make do and have as good as a time as I can.

So anyway, have a great weekend and keep throwin them weights. More to come as it develops….See you all at the Arnold, I hope anyways…

So asalwaysIamlacking on the whole "blogging" thing, so I figured I would updatre some stuff. First of all let me say that Ihave been bustin my ass as much as possible in and out of the gym. My training is revolved around a mix of sets and rep schemes. I usually have a couple sets of 5 and then a few sets of 3 per workout. Rep range will also very between high and mid range to get the muscles pumped and always guessing. Now my diet has also been pretty good to awesome. I am keepin my protien high and my carbs low, well that is until dinner at my moms on Thursdays…but what can ya do right…after all you dont wanna make mama mad. cardio has been pretty good as well, although I feel I could probably push myself harder on it. the problem I do have is ABS…Iam so lost when it comes to them. Not sure which way to go or ewven the set/reps needed…Any help would be a plus.

Besides that all else is good for the most part. The wife and me have been trying to get along more and are okay at the time being. That being said, last night was a disaster…Allow me to explain…

First off, my wife and I have had planned to go to this resteraunt called the FlatTop Grill for Valentines Day, since I have never been there. So after I got home from work and got cleaned up we left. Now it takes about a half hour to get there from our house so we listen to music and talk and what not. We get to the placew and the parking lot is jammed packed with all sorts of people and "A" holes… We drive around for oh I dont know another half hour finding a damn parkin space. After we finally get parked we walk up to the resteraunt, now its only about 530 now, as we walk through the door we over heard the hostess say that they were all full until 10. UGH…WTF. So we calm down and go across the lot to a Logans Steakhouse, with the same results, now I’m getting frustrated. So once again we walk across the lot to an O’charlies…..and can you guess it, yup they were no better. After that we decide to give up here and leave. Now my wife offered for us to drive back home and order a Pizza, whish we decided was a wasted trip and time. So after we talked over options we decided to go where our first date was….a Chinese Buffet. Now the healthiest but it was a good time. We sat there ate and people watched the time we were there. Now if you haven’t ever watched people, you gotta…it is wicked fun. After that we went to WalMart and bought Max Payne, then home. We watched the movie and were in bed by 915…Minds out of the gutters people, we actually just went to sleep….boring, but true.

So there you go, I am at work now and hoping tonight to get the steak I was craving last night….Back at the gym tomorrow and will report more when I can. I also will try and post some progress pics, the only computer I have right now is here at work and they banned the use of portable devices…Gotta Big Brother……Have a great week and saty Tuff

So after hitting the gym, being on spot with my diet and cardio, I got a little scared as I woke up this morning. My right shoulder, you know the one that I got repaired last August, hurt like a S.O.B. To be honest it kinda was sore last night, but I attribute that to the workout of the past few days. So anyways, I got up took a hot shower and stretched while the heat of the water rained down on my aching limb. After I got out and dressed, I stretched some more, took some ibuprofen and got my breakfast rolling. Long story short, it seems to be irritated/sore from the gym, not from damage, which let me tell you is a sign of welcome relief. Thats the last thing this guy needs. To much is riding on this, the gym, my ball season, work and last but not least, an upcoming deployment. I will continue to hit the gym hard and will concentrate more on post workout stretching. Other than that, all is good so far….Time will truly tell where I end up, but all signs point in a good direction….
