Im not going down with out a fight, i may be sick but im not out.

My Current Stack for this fight is as follows:

• Zicam Cold Remedy Gel Swabs (20)
• Puffs plus lotion Vicks Tissues (4 boxes of 96, 2-ply tissues, 8.4in x 8.2in)
• 1000mg Vit C tablets
• 122oz of H20
• Adams Maximum Strength Mucinex D 1200mg guaifenesin/120mg pseudoephedrine HCI extended-release bi-layer tablet
• DayQuil Cold & Flu Relief Liquid (non-drowsy)
• Opti-Men Multi
• Naps AKA sleeping
• Fish Oil caps

I am on day 3 of this fight, yet i did not start this stack until day 3, other than the multi and fish oil the others were not accounted for until now.  I will not let this sickness control the outcome of my work (although i got sick leave today)

The strugle will continue but no illness will be permited to stay confined with-in these fleshy walls of my so called body!

LONG LIVE FRESH AIR!

I think i am doing good. But am i really?  I depend confidently on you, the reader, BB.com forums and some of the books i read.  Iv found myself not following a certain type of "diet" or cut program, but putting things together so im sure i may be short on some things.  The things i watch for in what i eat is to get foods with 0 Sat fat and 0 Trans, of course I end up with at most 2g Sat fat in some things.  I make sure i get the Good fats like in nuts.  2nd thing i watch for is Sugar, same deal i go for the stuff with 0 sugar.  but some stuff ends up with up to 2g sugar in it. thats it. i dont count calories, and i dont watch carbs.

Foods:

I eat alot of Lean ground turkey, chicken, fish, tuna, almonds/cashews(no salt), peppers/onions, spinach, green beans, bruscell sprouts, tomattos, oatmeal, fiber ceral, egg whites with 1 whole egg, skim milk, no fat cheese, whole wheat bread/fajitas.

Seasonings:

Mustard, Cajiun seasoning, italian seasoning, fresh ground pepper, olive oil.

Drinks:

120 oz water a day

Main Supplements:

Opti-men multivitamin, Fish Oil, Protein mix.

5-6 meals a day, workout 5 days a week.

So am i doing okay? All i know is im doing and reflecting what i learn from you all, everyone goes in diffrent directions.  Iv lost alot of fat but in a couple months im going to have to change something to build back upon the foundation im trying to set up.  And im not really sure how to do that yet, but im confident that with bb.com i will learn quickly. 

I just want to thank you all for helping me out.

By looking in the mirror i cant tell that i lost alot of the fat around my mid section. Its like your mind gets used to seeing yourself everyday that its hard to notice any change.  When i look at my starting pic and then look at todays pic, there is a major difference.  This keeps me very motivated and if you have not done progress pics i would advise you do.  You can see things change that you can’t see from looking down at your body or in a mirror.  This month is Ab’s month! i expect alot of change but i dont want to let myself down so i try and keep the excitment to a low roar. 300 sit-ups a day, diffrent types, 4-5 days a week.  i can handle this better than last months 1,000 kick’s.

Im a bit worried about my 5th meal when i work out i have to move it from 6pm to about 8- 8:30pm because of martial arts. I do take a protein shake when i get home right afterwards.  But i try to go to sleep at 9:30-10pm so i can wake up at 6am for work.  Im wondering if i could just take the protein drink after the workout and not eat since ill be going to sleep around an hour and half later, maybe take two scoops instead of one.  If anyone reads this please give a comment.

Three Six Mafia: It’s A Fight

     Some kids egged my house last night.  It’s nothing serious just made me a bit angry, why? i dont know probley cause i got to clean it off.  It made me want to pig out on some food or have a drink.  Since im trying not to do those things it made me upset even more about something so stupid.  Then i realize how im riding the edge of staying on the right track with my eating habits.  I dont want anger to get the best of me and destroy what im trying so hard to work on. 

     Which made me think of something. I noticed there was a question in the body thing about cheat food.  I have no cheat food, and no idea what cheat food is.  Im affraid because i have nothing like this then i might end up falling off track sometime or another and falling hard.  Because im still not eating everything i should and its about the same thing every week,  boiled eggs, Tuna, High fiber ceral with 2% milk, turkey and swiss sandwich, fish and brown rice, and sometimes a salad with olive oil/chicken. little bit of pasta sometimes w/ brocolii.  Im worried that im just going to end up making myself sick from eating too much of the same thing all the time.  Anyways this seems to be my problem today. Tommarow should be better since i get to let out all my frustration out on the bag in class.
