I’m happy today. No reason! At least I think there isn’t! Just woke up happy and refreshed! It IS my day off and I’m going out with friends tonight but thats not why…Just allround feeling of good vibes(and no, I’m not on drugs…LOL).
I wisht I knew what is causing it so I can feel like this all the time!!!! Got up, did cardio, ate my breakfast, took my doggy for a loong walk and swim, got back, ate and now I’m chillin, waiting to go out.
I haven’t been cheating a single bit with my diet(Nor I shall tonight) and I’ve been putting 100% in my workouts, cardio and weights both…I take my supplements religiously and try to get a much rest and as little stress possible.
Well, I hope this feeling is here to stay for a while at least and wish you all the same if not better!
HAve a great weekend everyone and live it to the fullest!

Just like i bulked up ridiculously previous time now I managed to cut down silly in 10 days…I droped 6lb and you can see on the picture it is real loss cuz detail is showing and waist is leaner, and I stayed on 1,5gallons of water daily so its not water loss either.
I cut on simple carbs and cut complex ones a half and boosted cardio again. Upped the protein and that did it.
I trained heavy and hard with weights and did 600cal loss cardio 2 times per day when I could(3-4 times per week) or one 60min session.
I’m gonna stay on this plan for a while and see where it takes me!

Today I had it in the gym!
There was few guys there, maybe 18 or 19…Very loud, running around hardly working out, punching the bag randomly…
I already talked abt this so I’m not going to go on again… What happened is different this time! They left after doing back…On the machines of course! No free weights for these pencilnecks!
Lady in her 40’s comes in to work back! She is hard trainer, it shows! No weekend warrior! But now, every machine they used(5 of them) has two or more 45lb plates on’em…So she proceeded to take them all of cuz she was going to use 3 of those…Needles to say, I gave her a hand and we unloaded those plates. I mean, maybe some of you don’t think it’s a big deal, maybe it’s your way to be "HARDCORE" and s@#t but it is very rude and irritating to other ppl. Be hardcore by how you look or train! Cuz no matter how "HARDCORE" you think you are there’s always someone little tougher than you and you just might get your face slapped! Seriously! Imagine if some of us would leave 10-12 even 15 plates a side after doing leg presses or maybe 4-5 on the side after squats or deadlifts…Or 160lb dumbbells around benches where u need to do chest and there’s no way you can even roll them on the floor cuz you don’t weight that much…
So please, put your weights back. It’s not that hard! It is common sense and it’s nice. What pisses me of the most is they loaded each and every machine all over again with new weights! Couldn’t they at least move one set of plates around and use those on all the machines?
I’m sure you don’t want your mom/girlfriend/wife/daughter/friend busting their arse moving plates someone left behind! For girls it’s even dangerous cuz they not used handling that kind of weight!
There, I said it, if anyone has problem with my comment you can address it to me and I’m sure we gonna have nice little chat about it!
To all others who agree with me, try to teach these kids proper behaviour and maybe down the road something good will emerge out of them!
Cheers!

I was putting it off for too long. I got this car yrs ago and was suppose to do it up and put it on the road but somehow everything else got on the way and it didn’t get done. Then my wife and kids left for vacay for 2 months and I decided it was time to do something abt it. Took the cover of, cleaned it all up and took it to my friends body shop cuz it needed a paint job! Its 1994 MErcedes Benz S500…Everything is mint abt this car except body. Been in minor accident and needed to be fixed. Well, its all done now, and I’m happy abt it. Got it back yesterday and enjoyed it. Put system in it, tinted windows and wash and detailed it! Not that I’m gonna be driving it much cuz its crazy on gas and with today prices…Maaannn…It uses premium only! And 22-25l per 100km…It hurts just thinkin abt it. But its so great of a ride, 315hp, 5L engine, super comfortable, got bullet proof windows, hidraulic suspension!
I should stop going on abt car, point was that I did what I set out for myself to do. Discipline in bodybuilding helps you have discipline in all aspects of life!
Get it done whatever is that you need to do. Don’t put it off, dont go around it.
And when u done, enjoy it! I know I will!

I know we all had this happening more than once. But it just amazes me how "regular” ppl give themselves right to comment and make fun of ppl who work out, eat clean and try to make their lives worth living. Ah yes, and live longer!
I went grocery shopping yesterday! You can see on the pic what I bought! Chicken breast, tilapia, salmon, fat free yogurt, yams, water, crystal light, fat/sugar free jello powder (for shakes), eggs, egg whites and whatnot…
I came to register and was getting ready to pay but it was shift change so young girl was being replaced with grumpy, miserable old, overweight, nottakecareofherselfatall lady (I’ll call her lady….) with moustache and greasy hair, dirty shirt (proly been working in it whole week) and couple of missing teeth. She started moving my groceries along the counter and started laughing to herself! I asked what’s so funny and she replied! "Just what you are buying! I wouldn’t eat this if my life were depending on it!" I said "Well, your life does depend on it believe it or not!!" She looked at me, gave it a thought and replied…"Listen Hun, I’m perfectly happy the way I am and that’s most important- to be happy in your own skin and I’m happier eating whatever I want than you being miserable because you are on diet!!" CAN YOU IMAGINE THE NERVES???? I opened my mouth to let avalanche go, but before I could say anything, fit girl behind me in her 30’s started yelling at her…"Why do you even talk abt this you poor excuse for human being, I hope you don’t have any kids because if you do I feel sorry for them and they should be taken away from you before you kill them with McDonalds and junk you been feeding yourself. Look at yourself, if you were that happy with your life we wouldn’t have this conversation at the first place. Go do something with that hair, see the dentist and get of drugs before speaking to us again!" She was soooo upset, I couldn’t believe it! “You are jealous we can make right choices and you are too weak to even try, you can’t get in touch with your inner self from those layers of fat around your body!!! God, you make me sick!!!" I had to calm girl down telling her it’s not a big deal (secretly I was loving every minute of it!). Finally, manager showed up and replaced grumpy one with another one and we proceeded to pay and leave. I talked to a girl and it turned out she is future figure competitor and very serious about working out and nutrition and she got offended deeply by those comments. Girl behind the register was just a drop in already full cup, she was sick of negative ppl around her telling her she was crazy and too thin, too muscular and whatnot.
I know we all feel like that sometimes, maybe you even wonder if its all worth it when your friends are getting drunk, eating pizza and wings or you just want to jump face first into that birthday cake with icing on it, but at the end, we are the ones making the difference. Try to get someone else to do what you do, it’s like pulling suicidal person away from that ledge! And you’ll gain a friend you can go out with and not cheat and maybe a workout partner!
Keep it real people and live every minute of your life to the fullest!

Hey everybody! Yes, as you can see I got tired of dieting and went on 8 day calorie boost with heavy weights! Upped my protein to 2g per pound, included red meat in my diet again and went up to 300g carbs per day! I gained 9lbs in those 8 days! Can’t believe it still! Body responded like sponge and after low calories for months just grabbed averything I was feeding it! It feels amazing, but BF started to stick so I’m back on hardcore diet again! I’ll do this again sometime! Check newest pics!
Ok, back to 2 cardios a day and low calorie/low carbs! It was great while it lasted! Time to shred da fat!
HAve great weekend everyone!

 I got my first tattoo yesterday! I never thought I would, but I guess we change! I wanted something that’s gonna have my kids involved. At first I wanted to get two animals playing… I was going to get Unicorn and Little Tiger playing cuz those are how I see my little ones. Daughter is very fragile and sensitive, very caring and loving so pink Unicorn was in order. My son on the other hand is very strong personality, holds his own, inteligent and fast thinking. Also alfa among his friends so I was going to get a Syberian Tiger for him…THen I made a mistake of telling them…Hell broke loose…I wanna be a porcupine…I wanna be a shark…"But how those two can ever play???"…"I DON’T CAREEEEE, I want to be a porcupiiineeeee!!!!"
So after hours of arguing I decided NO ANIMALS!!!LOL
So I went and chosed a symbol, Sun Symbol, for they are light of my life and I feed energy of them! Then I put first letters of their names in it. I think it’s cool, they love it and it’s all good! Means a lot to me, and this way they always with me, not just in my heart but also visible!
Just wanted to share this experrience. If I bored you, oh well…Don’t read my blog next time!LOL
HAve a great weekend everybody, I’ll catch u on BB.com

Today was not a good day! Woke up all "energy free" and feeling like when you abt to get flue or something. As day advanced, I realized its not that I’m getting sick. I think I overdid it in the past couple of weeks with strict diet, high cardio and heavy weights. It’s time for me to listen to my body and step back a little bit! What we do is only good till it starts hurting us! I learned to listen to my body somewhat over the years, it knows best what it’s capable of. Sometimes it follows the mind and if you teach yourself strict discipline body does what you want even if it’s not ready for it. But that comes with a price! So I learned to listen to my body as much as it listens to me. So yeah…It’s a day off, or maybe two…Carbs are up a bit, No cardio, no weights…I hope it’ll be enough to bounce back stronger than ever. As the saying goes- "Sometimes we need to take step back to be able to move forward" and true. And necessary.
So I won’t feel bad or down about this little setback, but rather enjoy myself, rest and spend some quality time with my family and friends. Please, if you read this, so many of us get into this working out and body changing thing that we just won’t stop anymore. We push ourselves to and beyond the limits and its motivating and encouraging every time we break thru that wall in front of us and get beyond we thought was possible but give it a rest sometime! Have a cheat meal or two, skip that cardio to be with your loved one! Gym and weights will still be there tomorrow and the next day. And sometimes that’s just what we need to become even stronger and more motivated!!
Have great week and stay strong!!

Today was my hardest day since I started low carbs. I woke up hungry, had my cardio(did only 30mins, couldnt do more) and had my first meal…60g of whey and 1/3cup of oatmeal cooked in water. It felt as if I didn’t eat nothing half hour latter.
I munched on celery and broccoli, had some cottage chesse…Nothing…HAd a low carb protein bar, drank a lot of crystal light, had a gum, then another one…Then had chicken breast(whole, abt 12 oz) and asparagus and a lot of it….And now I’m starving again. I don’t know what it is, but my body is screeming for carbs. Some days I’m fine, some days I need to push myself thru it, but today is just awfull! And here I am, still thinking(and talking) abt food. I dont even care abt cake or steak or bread or pasta..Anything would do….But I remember doing cardio yesterday…Twice…And this morning…And not giving in for the past 2 months…And I just suck it up and resist…Somehow. I know it’s gonna go away. It always does. And I know how guilty I feel if I give in and cheat.
I don’t really know what I’m trying to say here, just getting it off my back I guess.
To all who feel like I do now….Know u not alone! And be proud you doing this for yourself! And stay strong!
Cheers!
