Here’s the thing.  I haven’t been able to workout regularly in about three weeks.  I was sick for a week, then I was on a trip to Europe for 10 days, then I came home and am now sick again.  I am finally starting to feel better, but unfortunately, I lost about 5 to ten pounds and I’m freaking out!!  I’m wondering if anyone has any tips to help get me back on the wagon because unfortunately I have forgotten a majority of what I use to do and eat!  Any tips would help!  God Bless

So I went to the chiropractor and I feel much better.  She told me that the rib was back in place and that my muscles are just very sore and tender. She cracked my back and neck and I feel like a new man!  THe only downside is I have to take some days off which really pisses me off!  I already took a break so this makes it two weeks without a full body workout!  SHIT!

Well my back feels better now, but I’m doing legs and abs tomorrow.  Everything would be fine if I didn’t have to do squats, but I do. I’m considering doing dumbbell squats so I don’t get hurt, but I don’t know if that will affect my back either!  Any advice?

Well now that I’m back into the swing of things after taking my break I can honestly tell you it hurts like hell.  Seriously, between my back, arms and chests, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do anything today! I just gotta keep reminding myself that it is all for the best and I will only get bigger from here on out! But damn this hurts!

Well my back felt better so I thought I would try working out today.  Everything started out fine.  My chest routine was amazing with no problems.  Then came my tricep workouts.  I was doing narrow grip dips and I had slight pain but I thought I could push through.  Well, I did push through but at a consequence.  Right now I’m in serious discomfort in my upper back and even though it’s gotten better it’s still a pain in the ass. Adding to the pain is the fact that my chiropractor is closed until Friday due to July 4th.  He has the weirdest hours for some reason and I’m always in pain when he is off!  This sucks!!!!

I’m trying to come up with the perfect workout routine to use for the next eight weeks.  I’m taking things that worked from previous workouts I’ve undergone and forming my most ideal workout routine.  Any thoughts or ideas would be extremely helpful!

Well, looks like I hit a bit of a snag.  I injured my upper back recently and I’m sort of iffy on how I did it. My chiropractor said it had something to do with one of my ribs sticking out, so I’m still sore from him popping it back in. I am trying to start back up in the gym on Monday if I am up for it, so we’ll see!

Well, I haven’t been keeping up with my diet lately.  been going out to eat all week with the family and have been making smart choices at the restaurants, but haven’t been great with everything else!  I’m coming to the end of my 5 day break and will most likely start back up tomorrow.  Funny thing is, I look healthier and I have put on more weight without gaining a belly or anything!  Maybe I need to indulge a little more often!

Well had a great leg and ab workout today, and as a result I’m sore, as usual!  It was a pretty intense workout, especially with calves and abs.  I might be taking a couple days off to let my body recover, so I’ll probably start working out again on Wednesday.
