Well it’s that p time again, getting up at 3a.m. and being at the gym by 3:30a.m. for my morning cardio.  This time I’m training a person on Saturday morning, getting to the gym at 4:30a.m. .  This will also motivate me to get my behind up and get there because I know I have someone waiting on me.  This Saturday we worked on middle back.  Exercises were: Seated cable rows, wide grip pull ups, reverse shrugs, and behind the neck pull downs.  Cardio was 1 hour on the treadmill burning only 485 calories.

Yes my friends, 3 weeks out and i’m still off of carbs.  I have now lost a total of 27lbs, my goal. Still building muscle by lifting heavy at 3 weeks out.  1 hr of cardio in the morning and evening. All of these lose weight quick things , DOESN’T WORK, it’s hard work that really does it, including dieting.  So when you here people dropping weight and still eating a lot of sweets, sugars and fatty fats, do believe them.

Ok, I’m still on no carbs, but I’m doing ok. Only five weeks out from the show. Tuesday i had a carb spike, but it really was no big deal. Six meals which was, Flank & White Potatoe, Chicken and white rice. Three meals each, 2 protein shakes. Ok, I will blog again in 4 weeks out.

Man, 6 weeks out, going on a little over two weeks with no carbs.  In the morning I feel great, mid day I’m ok, but late afternoon around 5pm, I’m sleepy and ready to take a nap, and I do for about 30mins. After my nap, I then proceed to my routine of Weights and Cardio. As of 08-06-08 I’m 167lbs.  Stay tune for the next blog at 5 weeks out.

Man, 7 weeks out as of 7-26-08.  This week J put me on Protein only, no carbs, and i am tired.  Still pushing the weights, and doing 40 mins of cardio in the morning and 30mins in the evening on the track field.  My weight this morning (7-30-08) was 168lbs.  Now it’s getting ready to get ruff.

Hey, i’m 11 weeks out from the show as of 6-28-08.  Dieting is going good, weight training is going good.  Have to make some adjustments on the eating.  Need to take away a meal from the late evening and move it to the mid day 1 1/2 before my workout. This is one adjustment starting Monday 30th. 

This is a full week on my new diet. I had a hard time on the weekend because saturday morning I didn’t get to the gym until around 11a.m. .  By doing this, it set my meals off.  I have to change eating every 3hrs. to 2hrs.  My last meal was after 11p.m.  Now this week is a new full week of eating and training.  My last meal is after 10p.m. but that’s ok. I’m doing cardio and weight training at home until the weekend.

My diet isn’t hard like I thought it would be. Just adding the tuna is going to be ok I guess.  Staying on a strict diet will be hard.  The Protein, oils will be quiet different.  The training has increased and the cardio has decreased. The water intake is high.
