Today I decided to go for my PB on the bench press…

12 x 135 lbs, 8 x 155 lbs, 2 x 185 lbs

1 x 195 lbs **PR**

attempted 200 lbs. failed, made it about 3/4 of the way back up but could not complete it. I should be able to finally get it by the end of the month. This was a goal to complete by the end of the year so I am very happy with this progress.

Now for the rest of the workout…

WIDE LAT PULLDOWN - 3 sets of 12 @ 120 lbs

INCLINE DB PRESSES - 3 sets of 10 @ 50 lbs ea DB

CABLE ROWS - 3 sets of 12 @ 110 lbs

Was absolutely wiped after that…did my 20 minute walk into work afterwards.

Well this weekend pretty much sucked. It was great seeing my niece and nephew, and they kept me very active, so I got lots of exercise in this weekend. But not alot of sleep.
However, both my dad and my grandmother are VERY sick. It was hard seeing them lying there, my father ounded like every breath was labored. It was very hard. AND my mom and brother just didnt seem to want to talk to me too much this weekend…no idea why.
Anyways, back to work, time to really kick myself into high gear and get moving! Who’s with me?

I’m not going to waste anyone’s time. I had a crappy weekend.  Wife and I are having spats, my mood is way down low. Had a decent arm workout on Sunday, followed by a 3.1 mile (5 km.) walk in the woods.  But it wasn’t enough to get me out of my funk.  Thankfully I see the doctor on thursday. Hope she can help.  I don’t know what else to do…

First week of this new regimen and I have to say I feel great!  I know I am working hard, doing a lot more cardio! I actually walked home from the gym yesterday (over an hour).  Had a new PB on the leg press (870 lbs. video on my page) and I ended up losing 3.1 pounds this week!  I have to hold this and continue what I have been doing and not slip!  But now that I know it can be done, it is making me even more focused to do this and get what I want. A kick ass body!

Good morning everyone! Another rainy day here in Toronto. When will it end? Probably when it snows LOL. Today our company had its semi-annual awards breakfast for customer service. They had muffins, pastry, cinnabon cinnamon buns (evil) and fruit. I had a half of an apple danish and the rest fruit, so I am proud that I stayed away from the really sweet stuff for the most part. And had a bottle of water instead of juice.

Today’s workout will be done this afternoon. Sort of a bootcamp type thing with lots of pushups, jumping jacks, etc. and running. Should be fun! Especially if it rains as it should this afternoon.

Well, technically day 2 as I didn’t go to the gym yesterday.  Most of you know, I had another big bout of depression hit me late Monday and ran into Tuesday.  Feeling sorry for myself and all in all just plain shitty. I got over it quicker than I used to, mainly thanks the many friends that were there to help pick me back up.

This morning I did the workout I was supposed to do yesterday, chest and back with 40 minutes of cardio and then this afternoon, I am going to do the workout I should have done this afternoon, abs.

I am going to have my moments again, but it’s how I deal with those moments that will determine whether I am a winner or a loser, and gawddammit, I am a f**king winner!!!
