How do I begin? Well as you can see, I have had a BodySpace profile for a long time, but never used it.  Today is the day! I will post my daily workouts, cardio, and nutrition as well as personal stuff (because life happens).  I will try to be PC but that is something that I struggle with everyday.  My inner voice always speaks up, sometimes at the wrong time.  Somethings I say don’t come out the way I planned, that’s why I usually stay quiet and listen first, BUT…  I think it’s good to include personal stuff because others could be going through some things and could learn from it.  And you know what they say, "You can learn alot from a dummy".  If you look at some of my goals you may notice there was no change.  Well I actually did get my bodyfat down to the low teens.  My wife, who is a figure competitor, began preparing for a show on August 25 eight weeks out, so I was eating right with her.  It would be hard for her to eat unseasoned fish and vegetables while i’m eating whatever the hell I wanted.  She doesn’t think I was disciplined, but how else could I lose 15 pounds in six weeks.  I cooked everything anyway while she was updating her BodySpace and emailing clients, I don’t know WTF she’s talking about.  Oops inner voice, that might get me in trouble if she reads it, I love you Babe! She won her class. As you can see I said six weeks.  My grandfather, who is the only Daddy I know, went into the hospital with terminal cancer the last couple weeks and I was by his side 24/7 at the hospital.  I ate hospital cafeteria food everyday and slept in a little chair beside him, didn’t workout at all.  I felt terrible, but how could I complain while my daddy was having the fight of his life.  The food was pretty good, but not good for you.  I remember one day when I ate down in the cafeteria I sat across from three doctors, one dude and two chicks.  The dude had one cheeseburger and chased it with a hot dog, WTF.  He was a Internal medicine specialist.  The FDA got the nerve to require supplement companies to put a label on the side of the bottle "Consult physician prior to use".  For what! The chicks were better, although I don’t think they were taking in enough calories.  Maybe it was a snack? My granddad passed away August 13th, but he put up a hell of a fight.  If I have 1/10 of the fight that he has you will see big things.  I encourage all of you to go to a hospital or rest home to visit the people there.  It will humble you real quick.  There is a lesson to be learned.  First, you will brighten their day even if it is a brief visit.  Second, you realize that the cigarettes, food, or whatever aren’t nearly worth the suffering that comes along with it.  Befor I go, please check out my friends BodySpace accounts.  MJ is my lovely wife, my better half, the old ball & chain, damn inner voice again, VFC is the future, she’s vegeterian though so pray for her.  I only have two friends.  Nobody likes the stinky kid, boo hoo.  Wow, I type more than I talk.  Later!
