Curtis’s weight training blog

Ok after some time off of the gym and supplements due to money hardships, I had to start thinking about what I actually wanted and how soon I wanted it. B4 I was trying tp go at it like a solid bodybuilder. Meaning all the suppliments and gym twice a day. It turned into a chore and put me in deep debt. I now have my money situation figured out, and for now I am going to just stick to a balanced diet w/ Protien, and excersice three-four times a week. Just until I can get back on track. Currently I am still in the Cutting phase. I will post a progress pick later today and also my body stats.

My exercising is coming along fine. Nothing much to say there. I am still trying to figure out the diet and supplement routine though.
I think I am going to slow down a bit. I have about a week to two weeks left of my current supplements. After that I think I am going to just be taking the Animal paks, Hydroxycut, and Aplodan. I also am going to start bulking about that time. Adding cheese to my morning eggs and having a Peanut Butter and Honey sandwich mid-day. Let ya know how it goes. Later.

Transfered Slimfast to right before bed. (Using it to slow the breakdown of the protien rather than the Peanut Butter.
No longer taking the Creatine. Taking a break from it.
Changing from Hot Rox to Hydoxycut Hardcore.
Removed 1 serv of Whey and and added 1 serv of Casein to Morning shake.
Dropped down to strictly 1 Animal Pak a day.
I Am now eating the protien bar mid-workout right before Cardio.
Last, Afternoon shake for non-Workout days contains 2 serv of Whey.

Well, after some money issues and working a crap load of OT at work, I am now getting back on track. I did post a progress pic but as you can tell there has not been much change. I joined up with a few guys at the gym and am going to start doing some hardcore training with them at least three days out of the week. I just had my first session with them yesterday. Most of what they did I had already been doing, but it helped to have someone there pushing me to do that extra rep. Also, I did my first set of Drop Sets. (OMG) #$%# that hurt. I am not as sore as I thought I would be today though. That could also be due to my new Diet. I will post this soon. I will also be posting my stats in the next couple days to. Things are looking good. All I have to do is press-on.

I traded off my GNC Multi-Vit for the "Universal Animal Pack" Vitamin Pack. I will keep you updated on how well it seems to work.

Well, after 2 months of training I am starting to see a real difference. I couldn’t see it by just looking in a mirror, but when I posted my monthly progress I could definitely see the difference between the pictures. I have been struggling to keep training. Sticking to the diet and working my gym training around two jobs and housework is starting to get burdensome, but when I saw the difference I have made it renewed my motivation. I also hadn’t been sticking to my cardio, but have started picking that up. I have a lot of work to do there. I plan to run at a 1 mile in 10min pace and work my way up to a solid 30 min run. Right now I can only do 6:00 solid at that pace.

Here’s the deal. I want to get in shape. Currently I wear a size 38 and I weigh 215 lbs. I have tried exercising in the past and found that I stuck to it when someone was holding me accountable. My goals are to get down to a size 34 in pants, and increase my overall muscle mass while only losing 15 lbs. Also, I would like to be able to run 3 miles in under 30 min. All help and support will be appreciated. Thanks
