Well I bumped up my Incline DB Press from 60 to 70 lbs.  Not a huge raise in weight but significant enough for me to feel it.  I am hoping to keep bumping my weights up on a weekly/bi-weekly basis.  Hoping to complete at least 3 sets of 8.  I am feeling really good..stronger for sure!  Can’t weight to start burning some more fat and see some MUSCLES BULGING!

I am happy with my lifting progress so far.  The weight is coming off slowly but…coming off.  My clothes are fitting looser…..especially around the SPARE TIRE!  My breathing is not as labored as it used to be!  I am prepping for a 5k RUN ON OCT 28TH.  I would like to lose another 5-10lbs before then.  I am now up to working out with 285 on the squat…..I am going for 300 NEXT WEEK!!  woo hoo. 

My daughter is almost 4 weeks old.  She is a major contributor to my motivation.  I will have to post some pics of her and i SOON!

I have managed to stay the course despite the power outages in my area.  Having to eat out for a few days and not having a gym was a killer.  My Baby girl is now 3 weeks old and is such a joy.  My how they change to quickly!  She is the new love of my life.  I can’t wait to get home and love on her after a work.  Anyway, I am getting ready to prep of a 5k COMING UP HALLOWEEN.  I am looking forward to it, it will be my first race since a ran a Marathon in 2003.  Oh how time flys.  I am hoping that the increase in cardio will help with the weight loss. 

It has been and amazing and sad past 10 days for me.  On August 29 I celebrated the birth of my First Child a girl…Breonna Christine.  She is amazing.  She has helped to put my life into a whole new perspective.  What a great responsibilty to have.  I will have to post some pics of here.  Needless to say I have had to skip a few workouts…and finally got back into the Gym today and did a full workout.  FELT GREAT!  On another note I had a good friend pass away on Saturday morning.  He was killed in an auto accident.  He was a Sherrif in Columbus Ohio and was working undercover. It is really sad as he leaves behind a wife that is battling Advance Breast Cancer and does not have much time herself, and a young son (he is 6)I don’t know why I thought he was 8.  It really puts life into perspective.  Enjoy every minute of it while you can.

Had a very good am workout which ended witha 35 minute treadmill walk/run and a 5 minute incline walk.  i am looking forward to getting into some of my old clothes.  We have 2 weeks left until the baby arrives and I am finally getting nervous.  I am sure everything will be fine.  Just getting the first time parent Jitters!  The closer the arrival date gets here the more I realize how important it truly is to live a more healthy lifestyle and be a fitness role model for her!

So I have 2 good days in a row.  After having a burnout day earlier this week.  So I am feeling good about that!  I have only 19 days left until my daughter is introduced to her new world.  I pretty excited and nervous at the same time.  Can’t wait to be a DADDY!

Well todays session was a lot better than yesterday.  I worked legs and was able to increase weight from previous weeks by 10 lbs on most lifts.  Yesterday is behind me and tomorrow is around the corner…..OH ITS MY DAY OFF! I am making progress….slowly but surely!  I am actually looking forward to my next workout!

I had a pretty tough time this am with my workout.  I was not able to do my normal weight on some exercises so I had to drop the weight down.  Hopefully this is a 1 time thing.  We have 21 day now until our daughter is born.  She is all the motivation that I need!

I am already feeling some differences after only 12 days.  Breathing is better, i have more energy throughout the day.  I expect some weight loss this week.  Hoping for 1lb.  I am happy with the direction i am going in with TEAM SCIVATION!

So I joined TEAM SCIVATION and they have me on a wokrout and nutrition program that seems to be working very well.  I already feel more alert and have more energy throughout the day.  I am REALLY looking foward to shedding some weight and maybe…just maybe seeing a body with some toned muscle!
