  Well, here I am, sitting at the comp at 5:26am of Tues. I haven’t slept all night. I watched a bunch of "Paranormal State" on A&E. It was pretty good. I’ve gotten into that paranormal type stuff as well as UFO’s (not sure why, butt the wife wonders if it has to do with Iraq or PTSD)

  Anyway, I am having some issues with my dieting and eating plans. I just can’t seem to stay on them !!! I set myself a schedule and then I don’t stick to it. I have fluctuated between 254 lbs and 277 lbs. Some days I feel bloated at 254, and I feel goo at 270+. It is driving me up a wall. My "cardio" is already at at least an hour a day….some days more because I start to day dream while on the T-mill or do 30 min after my 1st workout (which is whatever body part that is trained that day.) I wish that I could have more support in this endeavor. I wish I could have a workout partner or nutritionist or whatever.

   As far as my nutrition is going…..I now know that milk really bloats my stomach and gives me the runs. I need to avoid it as much as possible. I might get away with 2% or Fat Free milk with some bran cereal in the morning after my workouts. I’ll check that out today.

   I have been watching my portions and what I eat. It drives my wife, Sue, crazy that I can only eat a few things here and there, but I’m really sick and tired of her lack of motivation and support. She gets jealous about the girls that I talk to at the club that I work at on the weekends, but she doesn’t do anything to change or better herself. She doesn’t even want to watch what she eats.

   At least I am kind of rubbing off on my youngest son, Little Manny. He tries to eat as healthy as he can "because Daddy is eating healthy" and he wants to be "as strong as Daddy or ever more". I am amazed at how some of his comments are so "grown-up" and mature. Especially, since he is only 5 (going to be 6 on April 22nd !). He just makes comments that are so much common sense and we have just managed to just take for granted. I Love him so much !!!!

   ANyway, I think that I just needed to vent. I apologize if I hurt anyone’s feelings, but like I say at work….."Your feelings are not my concern. The safety of my staff, the patrons, and mine are ! So, if I hurt your feelings…..get over it !!! ‘Cuz I already have."

Respectfully,

Manny FU2

   Well. I have taken a week or so off just before switching to my High Rep Workouts. I am hoping that it will burn some of this fat right off. I have been watching what I eat and my portions. God, I hate stupid food commercials !!! I always get the craviing for whatever is on the commercial !!! LMAO !!!

    I didn’t realize how badly I was going to miss Whoppers and what-not from fast food places. This dieting is harder than I thought. Especially without too much help from my wife (Sue). She wasn’t helping me out at all, at first. She was always wanting a chicken sandwich from BK or McD’s. It’s the fricking fries, I tell you, that get me ! LMAO !!!

    Now, my diet is even more clean (and several times easier to do) now that she is onboard with my planning. I am, however, starting to not like chicken breasts. I still love salmon, tuna (with Ms. Dash Lemon Pepper seasoning, chopped tomatoes, some onions, and some chopped up lettuce….romaine or iceberg) and turkey.

    The amount of money that we have is quickly dwindling with the supps I need for this.

I also need a job. I’m bored at the house.

Anyway, that’s about it for now.
