Hello all

5 days late and a dollar short -LOL

Any way I have a constant tingling and ache along the left side of my neck -I think I have a pinched nerve and its constant even as I write. It is very irritatin and sometimes painful -I attempted to workout today and got exhausted so I just did a little bit. I got to use my exercise wheel that I bought at the Arnolds Expo in Columbus Ohio on the the 1st of March -quite  a motivating  expereince to say the least  I wont be writing much since I will be out of the house at least for 8 hours every weekday for 4 weeks for a hospital based self help program

Any way until next time

Hello all,

It has been awhile since I last posted just because I did not have much to say.

Well I went to the Arnold Expo and got inspired as well as obtain free stuff which is a standard when you go to the Arnold Expo in Columbus OH along with watching different health and fitness events held in various locations throughout the expo -Lot of beautiful bodies ,both men and women.

I am motivated by this event and today I worked out with an exercise wheel that I bought at the expo and I think i overdid it but along with all the walking I did yesterday I think I need to relax.eat and grow as well as lose that spare tire on my abdominal area yuch.

I am continuing to use my Diet Power and I am satisfied with it’s results -it is truly amazing how much visuals help with motivating and inspiring and increasing one’s self esteem. For those that have not used this or other diet software -you should give a try even if you think you dont need it for whatever reason. If you look at my profile I am listed as a Diet Power dealer and I would not use it if i did not see results which is why I choose to promote and sell it.

Until next time

Ciao

I did resume working out on my inconsistent schedule but it was warranted to the medical procedure that I had for my prostrate gland which involved me to rest and take it easy -I had some some not-so-pleasant effects for the procedure which involves blood so I had to rest even more than usual

I am happy and elated since I did see some results from my workout and I took a protein shake drink and will try to keep that up at least for a month I am going to the Arnold Expo on March 1st with a friend of mine which is going to be held in Columbus Ohio which is a 2.5 hour drive from my residence.  I will replenish my protein powder suppy as well as a good multivitamin.supplement I am excited about this trip- My friend is going for two days Friday  the 29th of February and Saturday the 1st and because of a doctors appt with VA Hospital for checkup and results on my biospy procedufe
The diet and exercise recording in my Diet Power has been giving me additional motivation just by looking at my progress thus far. I had another diet program called Health Keeper and it was outdated and then I  got rid out it recently

I believe I am changing emotionally, physically, and hopefully spiritually. Thank God for that -it is also good that I have a group of close friend and family that helps me on this journey . Things are happening the way that they should from my perspective

Until next time

I am having aches and pains throughout my right arm and I wake up with it but as the day goes on it subsides -I am going to attempt to workout today but being aware of my pain level as I am working out. less in better instead of nothing at all. As I sit here writing this I reflect how much time I spent sitting here instead of working out -Not feeling good about this. My diet is better- had a fulfilling spaghetti dinner with a Greek salad. My new diet program Diet Power is fulfilling all of my expectations and I have not used it to its potential yet. Very High Recommendation to interested parties I am a promoter and dealer if any one is interested let me know

So I close

Until next time

hello all

I am sore but not as sore as I was when I last wrote this blog -I have been feeling good since I am sticking with my recording of my diet and exercise routine daily. I have not been writing to the blog because I have not had any significant updates -I have not worked out due to the pain I felt after the last session. it radiated from the shoulder down to my arm -I think I aggravated it when i was doing elevated push ups which does put a lot of stress on the wrists and forearms. I think i might resume exercising tomorrow and probably do some leg exercises and leave the upper body alone for a while (push ups and any upper body dumbbell exercises)

I am getting back slowly but surely ,it will just take time.

Until next post

Hello all,

I worked out yesterday with back and triceps along with my calisthetics and I am very sore which tells me that I have a more painful road ahead.

I know from experience that is what happens - plain overtraining-  I have to monitor and watch what time and how intense my exercises are in that 30 minute period. But in a crazy way I like that soreness because I know that I worked out with a good intense routine and was huffing and puffing after each set.

I have elected to become an ambassodor for Diet Power , the diet and exercise software that I have installed on my computer -I recently bought it and have had good success with it. I do love the way it works -it is very user friendly and informative.

I will be asking people so see what kind of diet programs there are on and if they are satisfied with the progress they are making using this program whether it is online or offline.

That will come in time I did start a thread in the Nutrition  forum just to start. Hopefully I will get some question suggestions or comments

Until next time

I just received my full version of Diet  Power and I am excited to test it out beyond the 15 day   limit that I had before I got the key -Thanks again, Terry Dunkle  for providing me with this great piece of software. It is easy to input your diet and has a favorites function that I enjoy since it cuts back on the time using the program to record your daily intake.

I love the huge database of foods and I am still learning how to use it efficiently
Overall it is a great product- something I have been waiting for awhile -this program motivates me to eat right and see in detail what I am eating.

I have had past experiences with the software especially when I was using it to plan  and record my pre contest diet in 2002 only it was the trial version I was using.

I would love to find more people on this site that has used it  and had successful results from it..

Until next time

I have not worked out since my last post so it has been awhile - I am monitoring what I eat in the Diet Power program and also in this new diet recording program called the Performance Diet and they seem great -I am still waiting on notification from Diet Power that they received my order and the key is being sent  but no word yet.

I have been feeling ok and did not get a cold this year due to getting my flu shot and drinking lots of green tea -so far so good.

Until I gain enough motivation to exercise this week I wont post since it wont be worthy of this space -Maybe this will motivate  me to workout since I would have something new to write in this space.

Until then

Hello all,

I reinstated my Diet Power trial version for another 15 days until they find my order and send me a key to activate the full version. Diet still iffy and I am working on that consistency thing with my diet and exercise issues
Worked out  yesterday and did ok and was somewhat  of  an intense session I must say -Later in the day affected my energy levels in relation to the last time I worked out.
Went to Va Hospital today for checkup and found how lucky I am to be in apparent good health -I have been drinking a lot of green tea and I just had black tea this morning for the first time since I stop drinking coffee -Green tea is better tasting. Need to get more although I did hear Greeen and Black Tea have anitbiotic qualties and allegdely  are helpful in alleviating some diseases and conditions. _I have to learn moderation is the key with this dieting method  since herbs and derivatives are not approved by the FDA .
