Being sick sucks!!!!! I can’t do anything! I want to go to the gym but when I start to move around my head spins and I get to my stomach. I haven’t been to the gym in a week. I am trying to do some of the workout videos we have here at home but once again I feel dizzy. Hopefully I will be able to get back into it next week if not before. But like I said before this sucks.

I stepped on the scale the other day and got upset. My weight changed but I gained 2lbs. I was hurt, but I knew the reason for that, my diet for the last week really sucked. But to day, I looked in the mirror after coming home from the gym and I liked what I saw. I LOOKED GOOD! My stomach seemed smaller; my chest was broader and my waist looked slim.  Seeing this, I went to the closet and got a pair of pants that were tight last month. I put them on and buttoned them with no problem. Man that was so cool! I mean when you see the results it makes you want to work harder and do better. Even if the scales doesn’t show it, for me, I’m glad the mirror does. 

My wedding anniversity; my wife’s birthday and Labor Day all back to back; man, talking about blowing a diet. I have eatten everything that I am not suppose to eat but what can I say; I was celebrating. But I will be back to the gym in the morning doing a lot of cardio along with my weight routine.

My workout was good today I was focused on the weights. I guess since I was mad at my wife it put me in a more determine mood to get stuff done or I was just releasing some stress. I think it was both. Anyway, I am having a problem with my hack squats and it has plagued me for years. Whenever I do them my knees are in a world of pain. I have tried changing the position of my feet on the platform an my knees still hurt. I have backed off of doing that execise for a minute but Whenever I do it I get good results except for the pain in my knees. Now when I do leg presses or lunges or regular squats my knees don’t hurt. So what is it that I am doing wrong. I guess I just have to stay with it and hope the pain fades. But other than that my workout was great. Maybe I need to get mad at the wife every gym day. I reach my goal in no time, lol.

Today was a good gym day. My workout was great, cardio was good, it’s just that I was jettery the whole time at the gym. Now I know why; to much caffine in my system.I had a cup of coffee and a pre-workout supplement before I drop the baby off and when I got to the gym they both kicked in at the same time. Talking about being hype. I couldn’t stand still and my stomach was doing flips. Now I know, COFFEE & SUPPLEMENT TOGETHER ARE A NO NO!  

This is the beginning of what I hope will be a long and fulfilling jounery to a body that I can be proud of. I am not about to get all mussy and say what I hope to accomplish; I’m just going to do it and keep on track. I pray that if someone reads my entries that they will give insight on what I can do better and help me stay on track. Look forward to this journey with high hope and no regrets.
