I can hardly believe that I’ve not blogged in a month! I’ve been to bb.com almost everyday but I’ve been posting on the Muscle Tech Transformation forum and on all the bodygroup pages. Big news–I was honored as the “Transformation of the Week–Over 40″. And I finished the MT Trans. contest. My pics for that are in my bodyspace progress pictures.
Since then I’ve been keeping up with the daily weight workouts, tossing in a cardio now and then in the afternoon or evening. My weight has stayed in the low 160s with body fat in the 8%s. I’ve decided against doing another spring show–too many other things to spend my energy (and money) on, but I’m pretty sure I’ll do the local ABA show in September. I’m already a member and they have an over-60 class. Hopefully there’ll be someone to pose against this year.
My wife and I took a week to travel to Colorado and Nebraska to visit grandkids. I kept up with the workouts all but one day, and I watched the eating. I was pleased that things hadn’t gotten out of control. I did cycle off all my supps for that week, so now that we’re back I’m appreciating the boost to the workouts and pumps I get from the Morph, the ISA-TestGF, and the 3XL.
My fitness goals are to find that magic middle ground for nutrition and workouts where I will stay 7-8% bodyfat and yet gain a pound or two of muscle. They say that one can put on about 5 pounds of muscle a year, so a couple of pounds by September is reasonable. In the meantime, I’m enjoying the sun–tanning is like an addiction for me. I like the feel of the sun on my skin, and I like how I look with a good tan, that is if I can also see some ab definition–no reason to be tanned if you’re fat.
