October 6th. Update.
Well it’s been a very productive week in the gym and I am proud of myself for being diligent. I have had some really great workouts all week, and have been feeling very good about the work I am doing and the progress I am making. Because I have been losing more weight than I wanted, I have been cutting back on the cardio and eating pretty much whatever crap, junk food, sweets, etc that I wanted all week. But I have decided that this isn’t the way to go about putting weight back on because I don’t just want to put on weight, I want to put on muscle, and continue to burn fat away from my midsection. So I am going to clean up the junk food again, but try to add another meal or two every day, and add more good carbs into my diet, since I have been eating a fairly carb-free diet when I am eating clean. I think this will give me extra calories, but also extra energy to work that much harder in the gym to pack on some of that weight again. Also, I have been off creatine and any NO products for a few months now as I have cycled off of some supplements, but I think that adding some of these things back into my system should help me pack on a little more mass again.
On the personal front, I am not entirely sure where I want to live still!!! I am actually feeling more comfortable and happy here in Reno than I had been for the first few weeks here, but I am still struggling on the job front. I suppose its all going to equal out anyway, if I move home to Orange County I will have my friends and family close, but will miss Mayah TONS. Plus, I may be able to get a good job much easier there, but the cost of living is also so much higher that I will hafta work harder just to survive. It’s been a very weird time, and I’m not sure where I’m headed, but I am hoping that God will step in and give me a path to follow or lead me in the right direction somehow. Anyway, life is all about choices, so I have to make good ones and hope that I get to the place I want to be, so we shall see what the future holds.
