Hello freinds.

As most of yuo know. i let work takeover my life on and off again. My shoulder is ok, not perfect. i will get it checked out later in jan. i’m back in my old store and its like living in another state. 100 % differerent vibe/ feeling thru out the store. i’ll miss alot of  people i met their for the 13 month io was there. i stayin touch with a bunch already.

This will be my final blog for a long time. I miss being a bodybuilder. And 2nd biggest comment / compliment when went back ot work last monday , was alot of people noticed how big my shoulders got and asked if i was lifting again, told everyone the truth.

I’m heading off inot the forums full time so i can finally start my workout journal and have it look the way i want to type it out .

I currently weigh 277.6 lbs this morning. being back at my old store. i’ll be able to stop and eat when i want to for 10 -30 mins when time permits.  NO more huge 1500 cals meals to holdme over for 4-6 hours.  when i need a day off i can get it without worrying. i’m old school , im a team player and i dont call in sick unless im sick or local tv station weather man says DONT go anywhere .

 I wish everyone the best in 2008. I have a goal and a look i want by april 1st 2008. I got down to 256 lbs but i was not sleeping. i dont take those supps anymore.

Home / garage gym training is totolly different than going to a commerical gym, It doent matter if yuor home gym is like mine  or if its just a treadmill and a core ball, or  some i seen here that are  800 sq ft or so with commerical grade equipment.

I prefer to train alone. i had my share of training partners who cant show up on time let alone within 20 mins with out calling. and  most of us have our cell phones for the last 7 yrs  or alot more . i have gone to gyms here and find out the guys are gay and full of poop. 

i failed in the transformation contest im in now. but work is work and i cant leave that after almost 23 yrs.  So i  plan on starting from stratch  and work my way down to less than 15% bodyfat  and still weigh over 250 lbs or more.

 Merry Christmas / Happy holidays and  Happy new year.

  peace to all who read this . and Good luck on yuor goals for 2008 !!!!!!!

HELLO FRIENDS ,

This week its yard work depending on the weather. and enjoying my vacation. Eat enough food and partied too much. 

shoulder is still not 100%  but im use to it this time of the year,

Time to drop weight, too hard to eat this much food ,  dropping from 280 to under 250 by april 1.  I want to attend a contest here in CT and get my pic taken with old freinds  who make me look  tiny and thin , 

next week back to my old store of 6 yrs  and maybe some day hours , like before,  if so that will be great . more time to train  my way.
