I am scrapping all of my old diet BS.  Now I am just going for the best all around diet I can get.  Lots of carbs for energy and a good amount of nutrients for all around health.  I am still going  tp pack in the calories.  I will need tons of energy to fuelthe wokrouts which will be getting more intense now that I am healthy.

I had some NO Xplode sittign on my shelf so I decided to use some before my workout tonight.  It was my first workout after being sick for a while so I thought the edge would help.  I forgot about the caffiene.  It’s almost 230 in the morning and I am still wired.  Good thing i don’t have to work tomorrow.

By the time I was 22 I was a Veteran.  In my short time on this Earth I had seen things people two or three times my age only see through the blurry eye of the television.  When I came home I spent a year feeeling sorry for myself.  By my 23rd birthday I was in pretty sorry shape, maybe even the worst of my life.  I decided at that point that I would be in better shape each successive birthday.  For the most part I have succeeded.  But after my 26th birthday I went into a tailspin.  It’s a chicken or the egg type of thing.  I either got into a bad relationship because I was drinking too much or vice versa.  Around May or so I pulled myself out.  Once again I started getting back on track.  Then about 6 weeks ago I had a real run of bad luck.  I’ve had more injuries and bouts of illness in the this time period  than I have in the past few years combined.  I have lost 10 pounds just in the past week and a half.  Getting in my best shape ever by Nov 8 is not looking good.  My new goal is to get back in shape by the end of the year.  A sort of reverse New Year’s resolution.  Lots of lifting, lots of food and a ton of dedication. Be sure to check back in three months…

I have been sick for the last week or so and it had taken a toll on my body.  I am not sick anymore but I am still pretty drained.  My workout was pretty bad.  I don’t lift again until Friday so I should have time to recuperate by then if I treat my body right.  Lots of fluids and clean food and I should be as good as new in a few more days.

I am feeeling a lot better today.  I took the day off yesterday from working out.  I hydrated as much as possibel and got plenty of sleep.  I still have a littel congestion but overall I feel pretty decent.  By the end of the weekend it will porbably be out of my system.  This is pretty gross but a good way to tell if you have an infection is to look at your mucus.  When you have an infection it goes from clear to yellow and sometimes green.  Mine is clear again so it looks like my body is beating the infection down.  I’m off for the next week and some change so I have plenty of time to rest and recuperate. 

I don’t know what’s going on but it seems like I have been sick more on the last month than the whole year before it.  Everytime I think I am feeling 100% I start feeling crappy again.  It really makes it hard to get consistency in my workouts.  If it keeps up I might have to go to the doc and see if there is something more serious going on.  The weather is a little crazy this time of year.  One night you need a jacket to stay warm, the next you are burning up in shorts and flip flops.  I wish it would just stay hot or stay cold.
