So……today i wake up and had good intentions.  Nothing bad just try and get a good workout or something in. Then I had those jitters…..I want food. So at first i was thinking hmmm breakfast buffet,thinking to myself that has to be bad. Golden Corral,Ryans, Cracker Barrel…..Something. So I figure i would occupy myself and distract the temptation.It worked for a while drunk some water going through mental thoughts of what i wanted. Then the voices started coming….feed me "THE DEVIL is A LIE" I will not give in …so driving around town and there it was SATAN hisself.  The SHANGHAI BUFFET. D@mn you. Havent had meat in a while so i started trying to justify my means.  Its not about what you eat but its the proportions right? So looking for all of the excuses in the world to justify what I was going to do. Granted I maintained  over the vacation holiday only gained like 3 lbs and had worked them off I think that had put me up to 236. Then I gave in at teh table i think i sampled each meat they had …chicken that is cause i dont do the weird stuff. I tried to stop but I couldnt. This sucks so after the massacre was over I fgured i would do some cardio and walk around Target….lol Feeling guilty at the end of the day I hate when i get these urges …i need a better and more consistent diet. Grant it I have did the fast food thing in a while something has to give. Guess this could classify my one cheat day, have to get right back on track at the beginning of the work week which is tomorrow. So was starting the eating right diet thing. Headed back to my hometown in NC in like two weeks and I want the people to se a difference in my appearance. So with that said that is my new found motivation for the next two weeks………Did i mention once i got to the house Satan Jr. was staring at me and calling my name I said to myself yea right I wont let you defeat me"THE SCALE"  I will not step on you cause Devil you will not steal my joy. I’ll just wait til in the morning.

Cancun coming …Cancun coming…….!!! You know what weekends suck. Worked out and did the eating right thing all week. Then in like 2 days everything that you worked and focused on can go down the drain. Cancun is coming up…did the shopping thing, bought the new shirts to wear. THen all of sudden the "DEVIL" calls.You look at it every morining and dread stepping on it at the end of the week. Just jumped out of the shower and there it was calling me……its nite time and i hear people say that you shouldn’t weight yourself at nite. But i was like forget it (can’t possibly be that bad),then the adrenaline kicked in and i was like im curious im going to jump on it. GO GO GO …….Dang awwww H…E….Double hockey sticks. all that work during the week DOWN THE DRAIN. THIS SUCKX!!!! Work and Mon coming up ….where is the motivation going to come from this week. I did head to the gym did the elliptical while watching the womens USA basketball team play(side note: Seimone Augustus- she might be my fav WNBA player behind lindsay harding,Alana Beard(Let’s Go DUke)) oh yea I watch it all i don’t discriminate….But all in all I’m thinking i have to do better and stop getting so relaxed on the weekends get a workout and eating schedule and stick with it. UkNooooo

Not sure whats been going on the last past couple of days. Well actually the last week or so…..Been kinda frustrated just had to vent. Not sure what the problem is ,ok i’m lying it’s getting this eating at the right time of day and portions all that good stuff in one…getting that worked out.  Came to visit the parents so i was using the Y that was in town. It sucks no interaction and the cardio machine not sure but just don’t feel right to me(if that makes any sense)i usually go with the newer pre-cor addition of the elliptical ,but they have nautilus which is fine but seem like they need to oil them or something. Not to mention my ipod is broke, my trusty sidekick. There is no APPLE store here in this town and i definitely do not want to ship it off…that just takes forever. Got a little bit off things on my mind so i wish i could at least get a good workout in but that just doesnt seem to be happening. The weight room sucks so that just makes me not want to even go in that area. I did make it back to my home Y once this week and actually had a prety good workout. Did the spin class in the morning ,worked the upper body and even got in about 5 games of basketball.  Just not sure what happened afterwards , think i hit a plateau or something. Dreaded stepping on the scale cause i knew and felt things werent going to be where i wanted them to be and when i finally did two days later. Booooooooo just like i thought, HORRIble…..I must have blacked out or something and ate too much late nite snacks…lol  all in all looking for something positive ,some form of motivation or something to get going. Might just need to take the advice that was giving to me and rest a couple of days right now the workout regiment is all shot to Heck!!!! 

Well on wed I woke up and was ready for the gym. 930 spin class for about an hour…….which took me to 1030. After the class i had in my mind that i was going to do upper body,not sure if i got enough sleep or what so i cheated and said i was going to do a workout that i know i could make it through. With that said i switched and said i was going to work the legs.Being tempted once again by the basketball courts cause the spin class is held within the gym which you have to walk past the basketball games. Knowing my weak mentality and easily giving in to sacrifice a workout to play ball all day i kept it moving. So was kinda proud about that.Around lunch time is the major peak time at the Y in which we for the most part play and have heated basketball sessions. Not sure what it is about the competition on the court but dudes + testostrone = arguements/fights…lol. All in all I make it up stairs to the weight room ready and focused to do my workout. Without the IPOD i dont know how i would  block most of the people out thats in the weight room cause understanding speaking and being nice is courteous but some people just like to talk your head off and get you out of your rhythm. I’m a pretty good bball player even though i do say so myself especially for my size..(at least thats whats they tell me )so everyday i enter the weight room i get asked the question …you coming down to ball today ..for the most part i normally fib and say yea i’ll be down there with no intent of going down there cause im on a mission. Then 30 mins later i somehow another i end up on the court (dangit it happened again..i say to myself) I have been distracted.Wed was different, just something told me to stay up stairs and workout and so i did. Got the squats, leg press ,leg extensions, and even some ab work in. Finished that up and then did a 30 min fat burn session on the elliptical, didnt want to do nothing to strenuous cause i was a little exhausted already.Finished that and headed down to the courts to just watch.Checkin out the game and back to the formula dudes + tetosterone = arguments with that said a little confrontation broke out…so i said to myself im glad i didnt play today. Not sure what it is about basketball but I know if i get mad on the court i get like this pint up rage that i can’t control and just get mad knowing its not that serious cause we are not in the NBA its just the Y,like i get Roid rage or something(<——-just wanted to use that)**DisClaimer -for the record never tried that stuff nor do i have the body that shows otherwise..lol**All in all on Thurs it was like the gym was empty not sure due to the prior day with all the confrontation or what..i came in the gym thought i was ready ,skipped spin class..did a 30 min cardio session but wasnt feeling the workout. It was empty in the weight room , u know i said all that stuff earlier about speaking and blocking out the other people but UkNoo sometime i do need my Y family to help keep me going , just to chuckle a little bit with them. No one to talk about how the celtics are going to win it in 5, So i started upper body ..felt a little weaker might have been the weather or something started off with bench,went to decline , hit the dumbell press with some pec deck …was working out but really wasnt feeling it.not sure what was up Felt like i was just going through the motions and thats not good. Did drop 3pds though felt a little more relaxed thankx to the suana. So hopefully this fri i can get back on track have to make up for slacking on thurs.

Woke up this morning ready to do some form of workout, not sure what was going to be done today but was going to get some form of activity done.  Not feeling breakfast which is like most mornings. I know the whole , you should eat 6 meals a day ordeal but that just doesn’t seem to happen for me. Suppose to be 100 plus outside today. With that said I just drink my water and sit and chill til i head out to the gym. Got to the gym a little late had a plan of the daily routine, was going to hit upper body. Notice i said was going to…..but Being on a military base i walked in and tried to walk past the basketball court in which i love and enjoy playing. I can play ball all day. But that didn’t seem to happen. So all in all i end up sweating off like 5pds today playing bout 5 games of ball, notice to mention it was hot as "H..E…dobule hockey sticks" Seemed like they had the thermostat on Lucifer. So after playin i get home and the major problem comes…WHAT in the world do i eat….hopefully i won’t fall victom to the nite, not sure what im going to consume but i have my trusty water beside me.  Even though it sometimes for the most part all the time fails me.This eating thing sucks dropping weight and toning up is just the pitts……….i know im goign about it the wrong way and need somethign consistent but all in all one day ill get it right!!!!

Just up thinking about my goals and the different things I would like to accomplish.  Doing the training and working out i dont feel thats the problem.  I’m very consistent with that my main problem is this whole diet thing….lol Try to laugh about it in order not to get too frustrated. Dealing with my job and my awkward eating habits and schedule…basically my diet SUCKS!!!!I’ve lost alot of pds so far but not with the best eating regiment.  Hear about this myth of eating 6 small meals a day, seems as if i can’t make that happen.  I hate breakfast, usually hit the gym up in the morning and by time i get out of there i think i’ve drunk so much water that i don’t be hungry.  Then lunch is like let me try and eat something just to make it to bedtime.  Then comes the major problem I stay up so therefore i get hungry and Im for sure its not to healthy to eat something and then lay down especially late at nite.  So after that all hell breaks lose…..lol Not trying to bulk up, just want to trim down and tone up.If i can get this whole diet thing under control i think i will be doing much better in teh progress area. With the help of all the people on bodybuilding.com i look at you guys, the changes and the improvements of the body and it just keeps me motivated. Glad I found the site………
