Being busy sucks
I’ve got so much going on with work, I haven’t had time to work out. My arms are fully recovered from my previous back/arm workout. I’ve had two days now that would have been perfect for me to get in and work out, but too much work has kept me out. Yesterday morning was paperwork overload during my normal workout time and in the evening, I had CPO Selectee training to go to. I only had an hour between work and the training and I knew this wasn’t enough time to hit the gym, so I decided to improvise a workout in my room. It was shoulder day, so I decided to use my body armor for weights and did side an front raises, one arm at a time. I had to use slightly higher reps, but I wore my shoulders out after a couple sets. I followed those up with a couple sets of 20 overhead presses using my m16. By this time my shoulders were burning pretty good. One last blast on the shoulders by doing pushups with my feet elevated finished them off. It was quick, but at least I did something. I suppose that’s better than nothing.
During the training session we ate pizza and chicken wings for dinner. There goes the healthy run I was on. That’s probably why I was so tired today. I still took my protein, but maybe just a lack of good veggies did it. Or maybe it was getting up at 0500 too many times in one week that did me in. This morning I was up early to go re-qualify 9mm pistol at the range. After that, I felt like I was dragging ass all day. I would work out tonight, but I don’t think that’s wise. I think my best bet will be to get a good night’s sleep and work out tomorrow morning. I don’t have to be in to work until 1200, so I have plenty of time to wake up and blast my muscles before work.
I’m starting to lose my appetite for eating. I’m hoping that’s just because I haven’t worked out in a few days. I’ve had a couple unhealthy snacks as well. Today I had a twix bar and a couple m&ms. I’m sure it won’t affect me too much, but every little bit counts I guess. Anyway, I’m hoping to get in there and get a good workout tomorrow. I should be posting update pics around Sunday. Maybe earlier. We’ll see.
Oh, I guess my measurements are supposed to be taken with relaxed muscles, not flexed, so I’m going to have to re-do my arm measurements. You’ll be seeing a major drop in size on my chart. I’m going to re-measure everything just to make sure I wasn’t flexing any other measurements. Later.

I am sure its a combination of diet and lack of gym time. Keep your head up. It will get better.
