M-A-S’s BodyBlog

Well not really… Yesterday we received a 10-pound box from my wife’s grandparents. What was inside? A luscious treasure trove of chocolate, which included 8 Hershey’s bars, a bag of Milky Way singles, Reese’s Fast Breaks, Hershey’s Kisses and many other assorted candies. It now sits in a large bowl in my kitchen…haunting me.

So this weeks Transformation of the Week really got me thinking (http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/Totalmeltdown/more.php?section=progresspics) . If this guy can lose 40 pounds over a span of 6 months, I’m pretty sure I can lose 20. My wife wants to go home for Christmas next year. I’m kind squeamish about going home. When I left home to join the Air Force I was a average framed 180 pound guy. So I get the looks from family and friends, I want those looks but for a different reason. Looks that indicate…holly crap, look at him, he looks awesome. My ultimate goal I suppose should not be weight and it really isn’t. My ultimate goal is to have a waist smaller than 32, I’ve done the math and logic would say that at my height the correct weight for me would be in between 180-185. Currently sitting at 204 I have a little ways to go.

Second day of training was a little dissapointing, I was doing cable rows and when i pushed off on the foot plate my knee popped, my knee joint locks up because I have a torn meniscuse. On Friday I go under the knife to get a torn meniscuse fixed. I’ve had the injury for a while but, have had issues and haven’t really been able to get in a good leg workout without hurting myself. I’ll have to focus on clean eating the next two weeks while i’m recovering. -MAS
