Just had a really good workout today. The first in about 2 weeks, just getting over having some walking pneumonia. That stuff really kicked my butt. I have lost about almost 15 pounds. But i still feel strong, even though I have lost some size I have lost some weight around my mid-section. So being sick had some good side effects, lol. i think that having that time off also helped me I felt stronger today doing chest and shoulder. I really thought I might have a down day. I suprised myself even with the weight I lost. I start my diet on monday to hopefully do a show in April or May. I have alot of work to do, especially with my abs and legs. I am going to give it all that I have to get ready. All my time is going to be spent in the gym. I do not have any time to play. Now I just have to get that diet right. I have the workout like I want. It’s all out now.

I worked legs today. I don’t know if it was the weather outside or if I was just sore, but my knees were sure sore today. i warmed them up on the treadmill for about 10 minutes. then i did leg presses, but not as heavey as I usually do. I did 5 sets, even though they were good sets, not my best. I did 4 sets on the v-squat machine, knees felt better now that they were warmed up. Then I went onto front squats for 4 sets. super-setting these exercises with doing seated calf raises. I did 5 sets of leg extensions, and 5 sets of seated hams. I worked abs and did 30 minutes on the treadmill after I was done.  Even though I had a good work out it was not my best. my legs didn’t feel full and ready to explode like they usually do when i work legs. I came home and took some motrin and just relaxed for a little while. This is really the first time my knees were just not up to it. I am hoping that this is just this one workout. I am wondering if I might have to warm up a little longer next time. I can see some size and shape taking place, just seems like a slow process. lol.  I know that my legs are my weak point along with abs. I have started adding a second leg day to try and get them up to par. The second leg day is doing some different exercises, such as adding lunges, and straight leg dead lifts. If anybody has any suggestions I sure would appreciate it. Guess it is time to eat and get stuff ready for work tomorrow.

i had a good workout tonight. worked back and arms. starting to do more abs and cardio. i have already started to clean up my diet. i haven’t had a soda for over 2 years so no problem there. i stopped drinking sweet tea about 2 months ago. i have been cleaning up my diet alot, hopefully it will help me when i start my diet in dec.. i know that it is not going to be easy. i am hoping for alot of support, from family and friends. i will have a really good meal on thanksgiving and try to get all the sweets out of my system by dec 1. not that it is much of a problem, just ice cream. lol.  i have gotten alot of support from the people on this site and i can’t thank them enough for there support.  i know that my weakness is abs and legs. i have added another leg day to try and get them up to par. the show i want to do is in either april or may next year. i know it is not far away and i already have the buterflies. i want to look right when i get on stage. i don’t want to make an ass of myself.  this is something i have really wanted to do for a long time. i at least want to do it for one time in my life. i want to say that i accomplished this goal, this is a personal goal i want for myself. no one can take this from me. this is all on me, i have to do this myself. i’ll stop rambling now.
