The last few weeks of training are going well I have been very consistent in getting my workouts in one way or another. It has been paying off with some strgenth gains.  I am not sure if i have gained to much muscle but oh well i am getting stronger and feeling healthier thats all that matters to me.

Well the last few weeks have been really cool.  I have been running into a lot of people that keep saying how good I look and it really makes me feel great to hear that i never really had compliments like that from anyone espically from women that I have been getting them from lately.  So My confidence is finally improving slowly but its getting better.  This site has been great keeping me motivated.

 So i have a training partner now.  The office summer helper was impressed with how different and healthier that I look that she wanted advice and such on how did it.  so we decieded to work out together for a few weeks to get her started.  So I am excited that I have a new way of motivation.

So My cat Toby has been my new morning alarm clock the last two weeks.  It is wierd if he sees me adjust my clock he jumps up on my bed and pushes his head into my head and purrs and meows in my ear.  At first it bothered me but know I come to appreciate it because it wakes me up for my morning workout at 5:30am.  I am wide awake and training harded since the cat started waking me up.  Nope he is not for sale lol.  So Workouts are good the next few days i am at a conference for work so ill be a little out of wack but there is a decent fitness center at the hotel so ill get a little workout in to say on track.  I think ill be just fine there.  Diet might be tuff but I will do it i owe it to myself.  I have come a lon way I am not going to mess it up now!

Well I did my Back yesterday and one day later after really beating it up I Don’t feel that sore but i guess that is good since i am increasing my protien to get a faster recovery it must be working.  I had a great week at the Gym and next weeks mission is to clean up my diet it hasn’t been easy for me lately but I will do it this time.

Well Today is my arms and shoulder workout and I decided that I want to bet the crap out of them.  Its been a couple of hours since i finished my workout and i still feel pumped big time!  I really decided to get back at it this week hard with a new fram of mind.  NO PAIN NO GAIN!.  It seems to be working I am sore and  I love the feeling this week like i naver have before.   The time off has made me focused and full of energy.  The docter said I had to stop my Caffeine intake so its not a fake stimulation is just plain old motivation and determination.  I plan on keeping my weight up and reps aroud 8 or 10 for all my set of three for the next month I can’t wait to see how it works out.  I am sore and sore is good:).

I have had a rough few week had some stuff that I had to take care of and i am know back on the Horse so to say!   I feel great this week and it showed I hit my chest workout hard today and it was great i didnt loose any stregenth there I actually gained a little. So now i cant wait to hit the leg workout tomorrow!

So I have gained for pounds and i have hit a wall with motivation to loose weight.  But its not bothering me because i am getting stronger and my clothes are looser so I know i have gained muscle.  I really wnat to get skinnier but you know what i never wanted to be a bean poll so ill keep up what i am doing ill lose the weight in time.  Besides I luv the strgench gains on all of my lifts its a rush and if i seriously diet i dont have the energy to build the muscle I want.

Well last week didn’t go so well and this week started off worse.  I missed last week at the gym except for 2 days due to a Sinus Infection.  Well I saw the docter and i am feeling better there but Sunday started off bad.  I hit my head bad off the Medicine Cabinet and well i got a concussion which means i cnat do any heavy lifting.  I did’t listen to the advice and went to the Gym yesterday.  Well not the best idea i got my chest work out in and i was strong on all my lifts but i got what Can anly be called a migrane that made driving home very scary.  So I am taking today off which should be ok because i am on a 4 daya week program so ill just bump everythign back a day.

 Weight loss didnt got that great i gianed 2 pounds but my diet was off being sick so I am not upset plus my pants feel loose so the weight does not bother me at all.  So ill let you all know how the gym goes tomorrow i hope that i can do all my stuff fine if not I will be back to se the docter again I am afraid.

Ok so my medicine is working well.  I am missing the gym way to much since I got sick.  So tomorrw I am going to hit the gym early before work and get in my back routine and some cardio. What can I say missing a few days kills me that is a good thing i think.  Besides i weigh my self on thursdays at the gym so ill have to go tomorrow and see where i am at.  My pants feel looser so i think i lost some weight this last week.

Well My training has taken a back seat the last few days I havent been able to make it to the gym but I have done some of my routine at home.  I Had to see the docter yesterday due to a sinus infection it was to the point of the headaches were making me light headed and that really is not good.  So know I am on antibiotics and taking it easy.  This might have been a good thing for me.  I have been training hard for about 10 weeks 4 days a week and my body and joints were feeling it.  So other than the headaches and sinus pressure the rest of my body seems to be recuperiating and I actually feel stronger after a few days of rest than I did before I got sick.  Plus the extra time i put to good use by reading articles and finding new meal ideas to change things up a little bit.  I have still stuck to my 1800 to 2200 calorie diet so i still sould be ok with my altimate goal of weight loss.  My diet is as follows 50% protien, 30% carbs, and 20% healthy fats. 

So next week I got to words for the gym.  LOOK OUT!!  I am pumped for my monday chest workout already.
