Today is Bicep’s and Triceps one of my favorite days but due to the lack of spirit I’m fighting off the demons that are telling me to screw working out. I finally got my memory card so I’m gonna try and upload a recent profile pic and some progress pics. Please do not shriek in fear. I’m all for constructive criticism on things that I need to work but keep in mind there is also a right way and a wrong way to go about it. Well I’m about to go pump some Iron then I’m taking a shower then taking some pics.

I don’t know whats going on but for some reason I’m really losing motivation. Today it took almost two hours to do a workout that should have taken thirty minutes less. NOt only that I just couldn’t put up the numbers like I usually do. I don’t know its seeming very drab around here. I’m lacking somewhere. I really need to lose a lot of this weight around my chest and stomach. I think those are my worst areas. Any who, I’m about to hit the sack, if someone could leave some words of motivation it woujld be nice I really feel down in the Weightlifting dumps.

Today is a chest workout day. Do some decline Bench press,  Cable Crossovers, wide pushups that sort of thing. Anybody have suggestions on a pretty good workout.

Today is my day off from the weights so I’m gonna hit up some Cardiovascular training. I’ve already jumped rope a little bit an I’m probably going to do some more. After I get off work I’m going to hit up the cardio room and do an hour on the elliptical. Depending on how I feel afterwards, I might run down to the Launch and Recovery Site and go play some basketball. Or I might just do some regular ole ab workout. I could really use the ab workout. Well hopefully the rest of the day goes ok so I can continue to stay motivated throughout the day. O and I have been bad. I ate some really greasy hashbrowns today. I think I would lose weight faster if I could find the discipline to eat better. This is gonna be hard work. I feel so good when I work out sometimes but feel so bad when I eat a bunch of crap. But its one of the few things that make me happy here while deployed. Listen to me I sould like Fat Bastard. "I eat cause I’m unhappy and I’m unhappy cause I eat. Well go to go.

So today I signed a piece of paper saying that I’m getting demoted because I didn’t lose the required weight for this month. Yep thats right instead of losing three pounds I actually gained five and didn’t lose any body fat. So I will be demoted so they can set an example for the rest of the company. I’m not sweating it though. But I did think I kind of had a factor on my mood in the gym. Oh well what happens happens and there is no need to make excuses because its my fault I didn’t work harder or set priorities.

Yeah buddy! Another wonderful day in Afghanistan with the United States Army. NOT! But thats not what I’m here to write  about. Today is another workout day with Digi. I’m going to be working out Chest and Triceps. Trying to  get this chest so big and strong. I think I’m gonna push extra hard. I saw Jay Cutler’s chest workout video and It really pumped me up. Motivated me. Well If anyone wants to leave some words of motivation or anything feel free I’m always game for something to make me push harder. And for those who already left motivation thank you I really appreciate it.

PT Test this morning and as usually I failed the run miserably. I don’t think my mind is right for the run for some reason.  I did ok on the pushups. I could have done better but I stopped myself to make sure I had enough energy left for the run and the sit ups. I did a personal best on my sit ups today though. I got 61. The most I’ve ever done. Well today is an off day for Digi so I’m gonna take the time to get some things in order that I need to in my tent. I’m pretty sure Top is going to be mad because I didn’t pass the PT test but oh well I’m not worried I’ve got bigger fish to fry. You know what I might just run today with Sgt. MIke first. I dont think its gonna take me long to do whatever needs to be done in my tent. Well got to go duty calls.

No, PT test this morning, due to a sand storm. Its probably going to be tomorrow but I’m not going to put off not working out for two days. Tonight when I get off I have shoulders and back again. I could be wrong I have to check my schedule. Something that has been on my mind for a while is the S.T.U.D chart program I did in high school. Its called squat till you drop program. It was a very efficient way to build muscle but I just have no clue if anyone has seen it at all. Well I’m about to get to work dueces.

Well I’m not working out tonight because I have a PT test in the morning that I need to pass. Yeah thats right I haven’t passed the last three PT test given to me. I credit lack of motivation and being over worked, but I shouldn’t make excuses.  I got in a big argument of something silly today it was the chow. I was angry because I’m tired of having to eat breakfast chow twice a day. But any ways. I at some more egg scramble and grits and a biscuit. NO muffins today, but from some reason I’m addicted to tostitos. I also had some bowls of cereal to hold me over between meals that and water. We I’m about to hit the sack since I’ve got this PT test tomorrow.

Another day in this hell that is Afghanistan. I feel really guilty for eating those peanut butter cookies but Otis Spunkmyer is my food mistress, damn you you dirty whore. I at an egg white scramble for breakfast yesterday and a biscut then I had some noodles for lunch. I really need access to a bigger variety of food. This eating twice a day is killing me. After I got off I immediately went to the gym with Digi. We worked on Chest and Tri’s. We did Decline Bench with Dumbbells, Incline Bench Dumbbells, Incline Flyes with Dumbells, Close Hand Bench Barbell, Triceps Cable Pushdown, and Cable Lumber Jack. I should have down a Pec Deck and some Ab work out but as usually I’m a lazy bastard and I wanted to get some sleep. So after I got down i played one song on Guitar Hero, drank some Muscle Milk and went back to my B Hut and called it a night.
