Eating fairly well today with 1 hr cardio. I feel great! My workout is a 4/2 mix. 4 days cardio/2 days weightlifting. I am focusing more on fat loss versus muscle gain at this time. Hopefully everyone is doing what is necessary to reach their goals.

 I realized today that the "little inner voice" is a punk! So, unless you train that little inner voice (liv) to strive and keep going you will more than likely quit. I wanted to go home and be lazy today. This is usually how I reward myself for successfully making it through another Monday in my office! But I fought L.I.V. and won! I went to the gym, accomplished an hour of cardio and I jumped off the elliptical like ROCKY!!! One day at a time, one triumph at a time to reach our goals! BEAT the crap out of L.I.V! Or train L.I.V to be a motivator versus a hater!

 Much SUCCESS to YOU -

Well this week begins my office 12 Days of eating! This will be my greatest test ever. 12 Days, not including the weekend, of eating mayhem. All the salt and sugar you can consume over 12 days! Who in the world can pass this test.

My goal is to workout 1-1 1/2 hours a day and maintain as much eating sanity that I can. The holidays are rough for anyone who is transforming there body. However,  this is the most challenging experience I have ever experienced. I am seeking a transformation contest to join in January are there any up and coming contests for Bodybuilding.com? Good Luck on your goals BB All-Stars!!!

When does this madness stop! When does this lifestyle make sense! I read the blogs, I see the pics, I see the meal plans, I see the supplements but I do not see myself transformed. I am realizing that none of the previous ingredients matter if I have not made a committed, conscious decision to create a path of greatness for myself. A balanced path that is suitable and attainable for myself. I can watch transformations from the Biggest Loser and Bodybuilding.com, but if I do not make put discipline behind these desires then I am merely dreaming. I need discipline or I will live in a fatboy continuum, an overweight GROUNDHOGS DAY if you will, of me getting up everyday and never reaching my goal. Be achievers, Be successful, DREAM with DISCIPLINE!!!
