griffter911’s BodyBlog

For some reaosn lately I have been a little out of wack.  I have had no time to update by body blog or work out journal.  My eating has gotten a little bad.  Not too bad, but I did eat over half a pork roast last night.  Luckily I have maintained my work outs.  I am thinking about bumping up to almost everyday lifting.  I’m not sure yet though.  But I feel today is a good day to ensure getting back on track.  We’ll see.

I know being me makes it difficult to tell exactly how well I am doing, but sometimes I can see and I feel it.  For some reason today, I just don’t feel it.  It feels as tohugh my work is producing nothin.  This may be attributed to the fact that today is not a lifting day, but that usually doesn’t phase me.  I will run today and maybe that will make me feel better. 

Well, I had alot of fun in Vegas.  There was no gym in the hotel so all I got to do was push ups and sit ups.  I stayed in ok shape while I was there.  But now I am back and I am ready to go full force.  My back is even feeling better so I can start in on it too.  Time to turn to.

Well, tonight I go to Vegas for 5 days.  I am really excited.  I am putting off the journal while I am there because this is supposed to be a VA-CA-TION.  But I will strive to continue to eat well.  And if the hotel has a gym, I may go once or twice.  If all else fails, I will just do pushups and sit-ups.

So after a couple of days under the new recording standards I have found out how badly my diet was fulctuating.  One daye eating very well, I consumed less than 1500 calories, while the next day I had a whopper and fries and my caloric intake jumped to 2100.  So, I can see already that this journal is going to pay off all the way.

Other than the fact that I cannot spell, I have decided I really will try to compete.  I have played with the facts in my head and finally I want to just do it (sorry Nike).  I may not have a chance, but hey.  I have decided that my main obsticle is my diet.  I have the issue of always eating what my wife cooks.  I believe the solution is to keep a hard copy diet and work out journal.  Probably one of those black and white note books and write down everything I eat and all my exercises and my weight every morning.  Maybe my measurements every couple of days.  I will update on here too, just not everyday.  Wish me luck.

Well yesterday I ran for the first time in like 3 weeks.  I could definitely feel it when I was done.  It was only like a 2 mile loop, but it hurt a little.  I feel like I really need to step up in my cardio if I want to compete ever.  I feel like I am at a point now where I can really start cutting and it will look good.

Well, the thought occurred to me the toher day that I may be able to compete one day.  I mean my body isn’t quite there yet, but that’s an easy fix.  I just gotta get my diet under control, and taddaaaaa, I’m in competition mode.  I don’t know, my wife kind of looked at me funny when I said it.  I think she thinks I am going to get all huge on her.  Are there divisions for the not huge fuys.  I always thought there was a muscular and cut division or what not.  I don’t know.

I noticed yesterday, and of course in previous days, that there seems to be a standard for women at the gym.  At any one time there must one of each of these types of women working out; Awsome body/ugly face, Beautiful face/bad body, a flirt, and the one girl you can’t stop looking at.  It never ceases to amaze me how this almost like a sciantific truth.

Well, I haven’t actually updated this in a little bit.  I’m sure thousands were holding their breath…  Anyway, I feel I am making really nice pregress.  I was starting to doubt whether or not I was until recently.  I just saw it in the mirror by accident one day.  I try not to aknowledge it though.  I don’t want it to go away.  I tested for my orange belt yesterday and passed.  Apparently I am really god at TKD.  My instructor said she has to be super nit picky to find things wrong with my form.  Well, thats about it.  My wife is almost at her 10% mark with weight watchers.
