Month #1 of my new program- Mission accomplished!
I had a successful first month on my new program. I gave it 110% and stayed clean with the diet. I worked harder than I ever worked before and have gotten used to the routine.
I gained 5 pounds and kept my body fat in check. I can definitely see and feel the improvements that I am after. I am concentrating on the here and now and that helps me to remain focused.
I wanted to get some inspiration to help keep me on track and I was not disappointed. A highlight of the month was when I attended the NPC Keystone classic here in the beautiful town in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. It was a nice ride up there away from the suburbs and it reminded me what a beautiful state that Pa really is.
It was an awesome event and I got to meet and hang out with Rick (AKA 100% beef) and he competed in 3 classes. Rick is awesome and I made a cool new friend. Had some great conversations and we had lunch (we both brought along chicken and vegetables) and hung out after the pre judging. It was great to get a firsthand insight in a day in the life a competitive bodybuilder. The evening event was great and it was cool to see all of the competitors in action. Rick got his first ever first place and that was awesome! I left there more motivated and focused.
Another thing I have noticed more and more often is that people dont recognize me anymore. I ran into 2 fellow scientists who I worked with for 10 years. Havent seen them in almost 2 years. At first they didnt know who I was and they were shocked. The ironic thing is that one of them recommended the South Beach diet to me because he lost a lot of weight on it but unfortunately he gained it all back. That was the diet I used when I first started out and lost about 70 pounds on it. Well anyway, change is good.
Month 1 of new program-Mission accomplished.
