I’ve been having sleeping problems for the longest time, probably since 2005. I’d fall asleep easily, but wake up a couple times in the night and usually go to the frig…mind you that most of the time it was clean food, but still. So last night, I bought Norah Jones’ CD and played it and I’ve never had such great sleep! Love it!

 I’ve been thinking a lot lately as to what my goals are, and more importantly why I want to do them. The goal I’ve been thinking about lately is competing in figure. I’ve always wanted to do one for the past year and a half, but I thought about it and I didn’t attempt for the right reasons. I did it for others-whether it was to impress them or prove them wrong. I really didn’t do it for myself. So I’ve been thinking lately as to why I want to do one. One reason is because I want to get in the best shape of my life. Another reason is because I don’t think I can do it, just because I’ve never seen my body like that before..so I’m proving to myself that I CAN do it. I know I can do anything I put my mind to…I really can. I have in the past. I’ve also been too worried on what others think about my body. ie how much muscle I have on my arms and shoulders…both males and females..before I just want to be the norm and not stand out like a freak…but recently, especially this past week, I said **** it. Who cares! That’s who I am. I like to do things others aren’t doing. I’ve also been focusing on myself lately..everything revolving around what I want to do. Sure, it may seem selfish, but I’ve always been revolving my life around what others want to do. I’m not even going downtown anymore..don’t hang out with people I don’t want to hang out with. And it feels so damn great!

So decided to activate this bodyblog. Let’s see where do I start? Well with recent attempts on doing competitions, I haven’t gone throught with one yet. I think my problem is that the more people I tell, the more it makes me not want to do it.. sounds weird, I know. I think I freak myself out and I stress too much if I say I’m doing it. However, if I do my workouts/eat clean for my health and for myself, I tend to stick to it better and see more results. So that’s what I’m doing. Good news on leg pressing..last week  I hit 680 lbs on my last set of doing 4×6s I was stoked. I know I’ll be able to do 1000 lbs within a year. I started to do cleans and I love doing them. I’ve  had a lot of people say I should do powerlifting competitions because I’m pretty damn strong, but haven’t really thought about it. Have the weekend off for the first time in ages! So I went back home and slept until 12:30 and now I’m just getting some things done and am about to go running…and lower body weights later tonight
