I even got an email because it’s been so long!  Anyway I’m suffering from a little insomnia right now.  Don’t know why but my body just wouldn’t sleep past 4 hours, so I’m not fighting it.  It’s 5 right now but I’ve been up since 3.  Bah.  Anyway no sense in being upset about it, so I’ll just get ready and head to the gym.  I feel awake and energetic so things will be fine.  Besides it’s mental, athletes have been tested after being awake for 24 hours straight and although they were crabby and whiny, their performance didn’t suffer at all.  So I keep that in mind when ever I’m having sleep issues and it helps me get through my workouts with just as much, if not more, intensity.  Food is the most important thing anyway.

Some things I want to change in the next couple of weeks.  I’m going to pay attention to my carb intake and try to curb it after lunch and taper off by evening.  I’m going to run an extra long distance day just for the next 2 weeks to see how the BF% goes down and if it affects my energy with the weights.  I’m trying to burn off some fat as I’m kind of getting disgusted with the little extra I’m still carrying.  It’s not much, and I am by no means fat, but I just feel self conscious about a little love handle action I got going on and not enough ab definition.  It really shouldn’t take long for me to get rid of it if I stay strict in the kitchen, as far as my program goes it’s full of circuits and big multi-joint movements with a different leg workout every day so my metabolism is always through the roof, then I do sprints a couple of times and running once a week (twice for the next couple weeks only.)  I could honestly probably lose like 10 or 15 lbs of fat, the only problem is if I lose 10 or 15 lbs it won’t all be fat!  I will burn off muscle if I aim for something like that. so I can only take off a little bit here and there and then continue to focus on building muscle.  Besides the more muscle mass the easier it will be to chisel the fat off.  Overall muscle mass automatically reduces your BF anyway.

I’m really just rambling now.   It’s weird I feel kind of hyper right now, it defies logic.  Maybe someone slipped some speed into my water?

I finally just pooped!  Sitting down and writing in this thing always helps stimulate a BM.  Now I know if you’ve been reading this you probably either laughed or backed out in disgust.  Whatever I’m human and I’m not afraid to admit that it feels great to just go and take a huge dump, especially right before the gym!

I’m going now…  It’s clobberin time!!!
