I finally did it… I benched 305 yesterday.  I know it msy not seem like alot to most of the guys on here but it felt good.  The only thing is i did it at the end of my chest workout yesterday so part of me wonders if i could have done more.  Oh well i am still stoked.

If i dont stop slipping.  I have found that for some reason if i dont go to the gym a switch flips and i think it is ok to forget about the diet as well.  On the days i go to the gym i am very consious of what i put into my mouth.  Even if it is not 100% clean eating it is still a much healthier version.  For instance instead of a chocolate chip cookie i will eat a granola cookie made with whole wheat flour and sweetened with apples and maple syrup.  Plus i will eat 2 instead of 10. 

When I dont go to the gym, chilli cheese fries seem ok.  Then the regret.  I dont feel guilty but i do regret the decision i made because i know that it means 1 that i lacked the will power to stick to a diet that is good for me.  Common sense tells me that if i dont go to the gym i should watch the diet even more carefully. 

This is something i need to work on for this year.  I also need to try to get over the sweet’s craving.  Before working out i did not eat that many but now it seems i crave them every night.  I guess i need to figure out what is in them that my body wants.  What am i saying they have nothing i need in them.  Oh well a new week and i must try to do better.  I hope everyone else wins the fight againt their own demons.

Today has gone ok.  I had planned on going to the gym this morningwith my wife to do some circuit training but i stayed up to late to watch the game of the year in my book Go Horns!  So i will have to do with cardio at lunch which i did 20 min on the eliptical intervals for 10 min with 5 min warm up and cool down.  I feel great!  I will go and lift in the evening tonight if i can get by the swarm of new people in the gym.  Glad to see them there but it sure makes it crowded.  I may try another location and see how bad it is.  So far this is going well the transformation that is.  I really hope to see something resembling definition at the end of this 12 weeks.
