What’s going on in my world!
Today we got a lot of snow, so the gym was closed. People are driving crazy on the roads, so I’m staying home. We’re not used to having so much snow down here in Texas, but today we have to adapt and overcome.
My training is going good and my diet isn’t bad either. The problem I’ve had with my diet, is trying to eat, at the right times, while I’m at work. Sometimes we get busy, and I might only have time to crab a protein bar. On other days, we get real busy and I miss a meal. Not good! I shouldn’t complain though, it could be worse I’m sure.
I’ve been trying to eat every 2 to 3 hours and include a source of protein and carbs in every meal. Preparing my meals the night before, is much smarter than trying to do it at 5:00 a.m. in the morning, before work. I found I eat much better/cleaner this way.
Today I met some friends and acquaintances that I hadn’t seen for awhile. I got two complements on how I look. One told me I looked like I had lost some of weight and another said my face looked thinner. I was glowing!!! Ha! Ha! It’s always great to get complements like that.
My current supplements are whey protein powder (double chocolate), creatine monohydrate before my workout and L-glutamine powder before and after my workout. I think the supplements and eating clean has helped me, but I’m having trouble gaining muscle and keeping the fat off my waist. I’m working on typing my food plan up (currently wrote down on paper), so my online friends can look at it.
I try to workout 4 to 5 times a week. Sometimes I cannot workout because of my work, but I do get in at least 4 days a week. Monday is biceps, triceps and forearms. Tuesday is an off day. Wednesday is back and shoulders. Thursday will be leg day and Friday or Saturday is chest day. If I have an extra day, I will work my arms again and maybe some cardio. Sometimes, I have to alter this schedule and workout on an off day. The end
