First, I have to say thanks again to all those that serve our country.  What a selfless decision to make.

Took it easy tonight, did back and 1 hour of cardio this morning.  Did very well with my food intake considering the holiday.  It was suprisingly easy to eat my boco burger and spinach when everyone else was eating full fat burgers, chips, salad (the fattening, creamy type) and pie.  Why am I complaining, I made it for them.  But I live in the real world and I understand not everyone has my goals.  If they knew how good it feels, if I could truly get into their head and let them know, they would be doing it too.  All I can do it live by example and perhaps they will choose to make a change.  In the meantime, I just keep on keepin’ on even on those hard days because, after all, even though it feels so good there are still those hard days!   My hats off to all of you dieting in the real world–keep up the great work.  It is so worth it.

Okay, so my camera is out of order, I should have another one in a day or two so I can’t take a picture of my bicep but— oh my goodness.  I didn’t know it was even possible for my arms to get this big.  Actually, they are bigger than what I would like but as I continue to cut (8 weeks out) I think they will be just the right size for the show.  Thanks Gaspari for "buffing me up"!

Okay– so I did a hardcore 2-1/2 hour total body workout this afternoon.  Push-ups, pull-ups, arms, bleacher sprints, jump-ups, you name it.  It was fun (wait did I just say fun?)  okay it was satisfying   I am 8 weeks out from my show, yikes.  Fish and veggies, fish and veggies.  Food is fuel, food is fuel.  It is only 8 weeks right.  I can do without peanut butter for 8 weeks.  Hell yeah!!  Where your mind goes, your body will follow.  I can do this thing, again.  Anyone else out there struggle the 2nd time around ’cause you know how hard it is?  I would love to get some encouragement with this struggle if you have been there )

Okay these supplements are helping me kick it up a notch and I am totally fried.  My muscles have not felt this ripped in months.  I love it, my shoulders are tighter and I am getting leaner.  The Superpump250 really gets me going and pumps me up (hence the name).  Gotta get to bed and rest these poor muscles.

I have never really used too many supps and have certainly never done a stack.  I have really only used a little creatine and whey (and multivitamins, oils and minerals) but never a hardcore supplemental line up.  I have to say, in just 3 days, I feel tighter, more energetic and excited about where this is going to take me.  It is late and I need to rest but please check back and follow my progress while I am on the Gaspari stack

Day 2 of my Gaspari stack and I am feeling great.  I am absolutely loving the Superpump and can already tell a difference in my last 2 workouts.  I did shoulders this morning and was pumping out some serious dropsets all the way to the end.  During my strength training workout drank my SizeOn and then had an awesome cardio session.  Sprints on the bike and then the Precor.  Did pretty well on the diet today, got to enjoy my favorite–Orange Roughy with a spritz of "I can’t believe it is not butter".  I had some rice crackers this morning after my workout (shhh! don’t tell my trainer) but they sounded so good.  Tomorrow I will be better and trade the crackers for my serving of cream of rice.  I tend to like that better than oats when I am cutting.  Oats can tend to bloat me.  Anyway, feeling great excited to see my progress pics in a week.  I think I am going to see a difference!!

Today was my first day of an 8-week Gaspari Stack.  This morning I started out my day with some Superpump250 preworkout.  The product tastes awesome!  I was actually disappointed when it was gone   Did cardio and then legs.  During my leg workout I drank some Size On.  The name has intimidated me a bit because the last thing I want is too much size but I have been assured it will not make me big.  Another great tasting drink.  After my postworkout meal I took a couple Cytolean which really helped to elevate my mood and keep me energetic all afternoon.    All in all I feel pretty good.  Time will tell with my physique but I feel good.  Doing shoulders in the AM and am excited for a serious crank out!   I will blog about how that goes day 2.  Have a good night.
