Joe’s BodyBlog

So Yesterday I turned 39 and I am no where near my goals.. plus I got the flu, so I have spent the last three days including my birthday on the couch sick. I have noticed some strength gains, but in reviewing my workouts I can plainly see why I am not losing weight, not enough cardio and my eating needs a tweak (harder to do with a big birthday cake in the house…). Outside of these issues, I feel pretty good about the few gains I have made. My issue is I am not good at setting and keeping my priorities. I am a little lazy and I have a lazze-faire attitude about life. If I am serious I have to get serious, plain and simple. I mean how many blogs can I write complaining about my lack of success before I realize where the problems lies? It is me, and my head. Being sick on my birthday has been a wake up call to me about that.  So now, how do I change with the holidays coming and all of the bad food that will be around? I will have to show myself that I have the will power to get this done, plus I am hosting Christmas for my family so that means I control the menu (a little bit) since I am the cook. My wife will support the healthy foods that I want, it is the rest of the family that will be the issue…

OK enough complaining, nothing ever gets done that way…

So I was looking at my measurements and thought, besides my back being a huge week spot for me, I noticed that my chest is lacking. I am not saying that I need to have huge pecs, but some definition would be nice. I am not sure if the issue is that my bodyfat is too high or that I just haven’t developed my chest very well? Thoughts anyone?
