Well it’s been a little while since I have written.  The last week has sucked.  The cold/flu I have been fighting for the last month finally put me out.  I was in bed for my whole three day weekend and have gutted out my four shifts at work.  I am finally getting better but I had to take the entire week off from working out.  I feel like crap and not being able to workout only makes it worse.  My diet has been ok but I feel little desire to eat when I am not working out.  I am sure I am a little dehydrated because my water intake has dropped dramatically.  I am going to spend the next couple of days re-hydrating so I can start working out again on Monday.  I have a couple more weeks before I go back to working nights.  When I am back on nights it is much easier to get my workouts in.  I am going to change up my supplements a little bit and try some new stuff.  It will be a busy summer and I will need to keep on task and not miss my workouts.

Well I am back in the swing of things.  I did not miss any workouts last week but they all sucked.  Today I went in and did Chest, Shoulder, Triceps, low rep long rest.  It was one of the best lifts I have had in a long time.  I put up good weights and felt great the whole time.  I won my bet with by friend and he paid.  I am now considering a new bet.  I need the motivation only having money on the line can give.  We will have to see.  The diet is under way and under control.  Easter was bad but it was my cheat day.  Gotta love a cheat day.  I am trying to find a new workout partner but am having problems finding someone who will lift 6 days a week.  I will have to see if I can talk one into it.

Well I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me but there must be something.  I got early and walked up hill on the treadmill for half an hour.  It was like pulling teeth.  I made it through about 5 sets of chest and could not work out anymore.  I took my kids to the store and it took all the energy I have.  Ever heard of a 33-year-old man with mono.  Ah hell I don’t know what’s wrong.  I am going to sleep for about 10 to 12 hours tonight and gut out a workout tomorrow.  We will have to see how things go.
