Last night was a good night.  I was feeling really motivated and strong during my workout.  I did make the mistake of taking my Lipo6 at 7:00 pm before I left for the gym so I was pretty jacked all night after I got home.  Unfortunately didn’t get to sleep until about 4:00 am so tonights workout (after school at 9:30) will probably be a joke.  Maybe I’ll try and catch a nap during lunch

My weight is down this week to around 134 so that’s progress in the weight goal.  Need to do BF% and BMI but I’m thinking that I’ll see progress there too.  I’ll probably take new pis this week as well.

Food is mostly chicken, green veggies and protien shakes so I’m good there.  I started supplementing with cod liver oil and zinc to help with my immunity but it makes me want to hurl about an hour after I take it so I’m not sure if I’ll stick to that.  I’ll give it a week.  Otherwise I’m just supplementing with Lipo6 and my multi-vitamin still.

Ok, so it’s been a better week fo me. I’m mostly over being sick.  It felt REALLY good to get back in the gym on Monday and actually have some energy.  I also made it on Tuesday this week so far.  I didn’t go Wed but I plan to go tonight and tomorrow morning (or afternoon). This week has been pretty standard:

 Mon - Chest/triceps (I graduated to presses with 35 lb dumbells say that good news for me!)

Tues - Quads/hams/calves (This week I actually managed to do 1 rep at 160 lb so that was also progress).

Wed - rest

…here’s the rest of the weeks plan…

Thur - Back/biceps/abs

Friday - Shoulders/Traps

Sat - rest Sunday - cardio and streching

…as far as weight goes, I’m kind leveled off at 137. Not having worked out for almost 2 weeks didn’t help my cause though. I’ll probably be stepping up the cardio next week to help boost my fat burning. Food has been good. Mostly broiled chicken or tri-tip with roasted veggies.  I throw a little whole grain brean or couscous in there occasionally for energy if we’re eating before we workout.  This weeks veggies have been aparagus and snap peas. I have indulged in some no-no’s this week like M&M’s and Reeses Pieces, so I get a slap on the wrist for that. Overall feeling good about the diet. I’m still basically only eating 1 "true meal" a day at dinner time.  During the day I’ll eat oatmeal in the morning and then supplement with a power crunch bar and EAS Advantage shake for lunch. Lots of water too.  If I get hungry again I’ll much on some apples or carrot sticks. 

Till next time…
