Five_O’s BodyBlog

I’m down to the final 18 days of the MuscleTech/Bodyspace Transformation Contest. I cannot believe I am coming down to the end. I’m glad now that they extended the contest another month. I will not be posting any more update pictures until I post my final contest pictures on July 14th. I know you ladies will dissapointed, but I thought I would keep some of you guessing on the final product.

My transformation will not end on July 14th….I still have a long way to go to reach my goals and this will continue to be a life long process for me…I am so thankful for meeting so many wonderful people here on bodyspace and look forward to continuing to make more friends…

Stay Tuned….. 

and I am down a whopping 5 inches on my waist. I’ve pretty much lost inches from every part of my body…small gains in the arms/forearms…so this update firms up my position that I’m not concerned with not seeing any movement in the scale…as long as I keep losing inches I’m good!

Going back to the gym tonight for another round of cardio!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Got my bodyfat done today and came in at 26.4%. I know its still way to high, but I am down from 29 % and am losing it at a pace where I can keep it off. I continue to make gains in every dept and love seeing the difference in the shape of my body. I will be getting my complete stats done tomorrow….so stay tuned….

Today I spent the day with my family in my wifes hometown in New Jersey. There is nothing more important in life….than family….(if anyone can tell me what movie that is from you win a prize from me…) Its the simple things in life that we take fail to realize how important they are and how they are the foundation for the future….

To all the other dads out there I hope you all had a happy fathers day and keep up the good work…..because being a great dad is a tough job!!!!!!!!!!!! But, I love it!!!

Stay Safe 

This past weekend I suffered some setbacks in my goal to transform myself into a better and healthier human being. First, I consumed too much alcohol celebrating my wifes birthday. This turned into an issue that I need to address to help myself abstain from using and abusing alcohol. This is probably TMI for bodyspace, but I am not afraid to let people know that I am a human being that makes mistakes and am willing to learn from them and correct the so they do not happen in the future.

The weight continues to come off and I know this is as a result of the increased cardio along with a better diet. I hope to continue to see major gains and losses over the last couple of weeks of the contest.

I also saw a fitness contest scheduled for the end of July by OCB to be held in Maryland. I’m thinking about giving it a shot…what do I have to lose by trying?…..nothing!

Stay Safe People!

My wife took my shopping yesterday for my birthday and had me try on a pair of size 38 Joes Jeans….I was nervous putting them on….but you should have seen the smile on my face when not only did they fit….they were loose around the waist…I havent worn a size 38 jeans in YEARS….but, I’m not even close to where I want to be…so today its back on the grind as always…back in the gym….watching my food intake…and staying away from my friend called beer…

Another year in the books for Five O….I have learned alot about myself of the last 12 months…still the same great guy I have always been, but I know that I am capable of reaching new heights with the right amount of motivation and dedication to the goal…at 34 years old I am stronger now than I have ever been and am looking forwards to continuing to get into better shape…

*contest note* I hit the scales yesterday at 255! Thats the same weight I was when I graduated from the police academy in 1998. I am 30 pounds away from my goal of 225…I know I can make it! I have also added a new goal….I want to be able to take one of those….."look at my abs" pictures that are so popular on bodyspace…it will happen!

Stay Safe!
