Ugh, almost midnight but my 7 pm cardio seems to be keeping me up still (7-8 pm). Well, atleast it’s not supplements since those are taken in the day…

Guess it’s gotta come 5-7pm after work, or during the day - which will be more of a challenge… or perhaps in a few weeks my body will adjust to it. We’ll see!

It’s tough not to grab one of the two beers that’s been sitting in my fridge for the past 3 weeks, but noone said this would be easy!

GRR, sweet dreams!

Having cut a good portion of weight thus far the time came to €˜feed’ the fire. Having not shopped for supplements in awhile and going with a €˜stack’ for noexplode €˜Cell Mass’ seemed a logical choice. It’s a €˜recovery and mass’ type, l-glutamine, creatine, etc. This product wasn’t €˜blowing smoke’, no loading, and within two days my water weight shot up 3 lbs. Fantastic, minus the fear of building more muscle and needing the calories to feed it. That, and after my hour-long bike ride Sunday some wicked leg cramps threatened (dispite my water intake) to take hold. Realistically, weight is simply a €˜metric’ by which we judge our diet and work-out effects … it is but one small factor in our appearance. So, with that in mind and the fact I trained before at 215 lbs the diet will stay no more than 2,000 calories, the weights will not go up, and if muscle grows so be it. Cardio will be a daily event until this body fat sheds, and if by the end of it all my weight is 220 it doesn’t matter. The goal is a €˜look and feel’, the weight just puts a measure on this. We’ll see what comes … eye on the prize.

It’s time to reawaken some old muscles. Having always been able to pile on muscle I can feel it still there, waiting to explode but unable to find fire in my poor lifestyle - all it took was a spark. The mistake was piling on too much fuel and pooring water on the fire, my 215 training weight became a prison when the arms stopped pumping. No more, and no more excuses. Sure, a little give won’t hurt so long as that isn’t the crack that breaks the wall of dedication I’ve reformed.

Time to burn once more and make the flame eternal. Enough talk, time to do.
