So, Wednesday is Ash Wednesday for us Catholics. Means, my diet goes downhill for a while. I normally consume at least 6 small meals a day, and now it gets cut in half! Thats gonna be pretty tough for me, and I may get a little leaner (although i am trying to gain more in my lower body). I think it will be good though. In the next two days I need to buy a gainer. I figure thats the only way I am going to get a good number of calories in to keep from losing muscle. Lent will not only be a time to grow deeper spiritually, but also physically. I may finally decide (because i have wavered too many times) if I want to compete. I think for me that decision is more about knowing the right people (I know a lot but can always benefit from the wisdom of others, particularly pre-contest). Bruised my finger during a shoulder workout last week, so kinda recovering from that. Im back with weights starting tomorrow (legs). Its still pretty sore!

So many good upcoming good things! Hope to start personal training asap. I am also thinking about getting another certificate at UCF. Maybe starting August. There arent that many classes and its related to the subject I would want to pursue with further education (i.e maybe for a doctoral dissertation). Im an "informal" Sociologist/ Criminologist at heart, so its hard for me to not be continously studying these issues constantly. On another subject, not long ago I did test my body fat % with calipers. Let me just say: you need practice for those! I think if we did them correctly im a little over 9%. It seems about right. Have a good one:)
