Week 7 - 44 days ’til B-day, 49 days ’til trip
At the start of the week, I had the bright idea to potentially get a membership to a local gym (part of a fairly popular national chain). $100 for 3 months sounded fantastic, but then I started thinking deeper. For less than $150, I can get a decent bench and weight set. The weather is starting to get better here in Chicago so I can run for nearly free (better shoes, perhaps). I’ve been able to get great results just training at home so I don’t necessarily have to go reinventing the wheel.
I’ve just started BSN No-Xplode and I must admit that I love it. One scoop is all I need and I’m good to go. Despite the mixed reviews I’ve read on it, I know it gives me an extra kick to push through those tough, final sets. It’s really helping me continue to train smart.
I had to switch things up and add an ab profile pic. The progress pics serve to show my overall body transformation. However, I think my ab and side bicep/chest pics show off my hard work a little better. I spent two weeks training my abs with weight. Since I’d like to lose another inch or so off my waist and not run the risk of thickening the area, I’ll train abs without weight for a couple of weeks.
