Joe’s BodyBlog

After taking a few days off, it felt great to get back into the gym again.  Took 5 days off to have a much needed rest from over training.  There, I said it,  OVER TRAINING.  This is a fact that I have learned to face and deal with.  Sure, I felt guilty about not working out but I am learning to listen to what my body tells me. My shoulder is still a little sore so I will take it easy on it. I started up again full force last night with 90 minutes of ass kicking cardio followed by bicep and calf work and some martial arts. Slept like a rock.

Today abs and legs and sticking to the diet.  18 egg whites over the course of my day along with boiled chicken breast for lunch and green beans.  Started taking my BCAA’s again and will do some muscle milk and later my N.O. Explode before tonight’s workout.

Yesterday the CEO of our facility yelled at me down the hall I am getting too skinny.  I guess people are noticing.  I am going to break down and then build back up.  I am lucky that one of my coworkers is a body builder and she is giving me a lot of helpful advice on diet and exercise.

The scale at the gym was broken and taken away.  The hell with it.  I know what I am capable of doing and am getting tired of playing the numbers game.  It will happen when it happens.  As  many of my bb.com friends have faded away, I have remained consistent and focused on my goals.  I have come this far over the past 10 months so why the hell worry about  numbers on a scale.  I am not going to let numbers on a scale to dictate my life.  I am going to get my body fat down no matter what and will focus more on quality workouts. I will get there when I get there.
