Saturday, January 26th
Two observations today:
a) I forgot how hard it was to down 360g of protein. Especially when it’s comprised entirely of tuna and whey.
b) I forgot how hard DC is. I did 5 rp sets, and it beat my down worse than when I was doing 10-12 sets per body part
Well today was the refeed, not all that I’d hoped for. It’s much less enjoyable doing a clean refeed as compared to just jamming 2900 cals of whatever down my gullet. But I draw a parallel from the Army when it comes to diet: it’s attention to detail that makes a difference between the average and the extraordinary. Oh yeah, and motivation.
So luckilly I managed to get my cardio and my lifting session in just before the torrential downpours began AGAIN. I’m losing my sanity here at this garbage ass patrol base. I’ve had a cold for over a week, and why you ask? Because the "gym" (and I use that term loosely, since it’s nothing more than a couple barbells, weight plates, benches, and one half of a cable crossover machine tied to a pullup/dip contraption) is outside exposed to the elements. OHHH what I would give to go back to Baghdad and Camp Liberty. Now THAT was a gym (as far as being deployed goes anyway).
But that’s FOUR consecutive days in the books that I’ve hit my mark. I’m gonna keep this rolling so I can get down to single digit body fat, and then start getting huge! Diet really does get easier once you get into a groove. Luckily im not an 11B, so I’m not out running patrols at all hours of the night. I’m the Commo NCO for the base, so I consider myself very lucky that I essentially determine my own schedule. I always have time for meals and workouts, and I can almost always get to the computer if I need information or for motivation. All reasons why I cannot and will not fail at reaching my goals this deployment. I have everything I need at my disposal, so there ain’t nothin’ to it but to do it (a Ronnie Coleman quote for the true bodybuilding fans out there).
It’s about time to have a shake, call the wife, and watch the game. Later.
