Peter’s Body Blog

Took 2 days off in the middle of the week because my back was real sore.  I guess it was just tired, because I’m back on track.  Had a great legs day to day - made it though all supersets, all sets and all reps!

Diet’s been a little all over the place.  Not really over eating, rather not eating all those small meals I’m supposed to and getting a little lax on the carb/fat/protein counting.  But not too radically off base.  I’ll get back a little more rigor next week.

I’ll post another progress picture tomorrow after my last day for the week.  I want to put them in some sort of animated gif generator.  But I don’t know how dramatic it would be.  The progress week to week is pretty subtle on my digital camera.  Even though to me if feels like great strides.

I keep thinking about week #7 where I’m supposed to do protein deprivation wondering what that will be like. I think it might be a bit of a relief.  I’m kind of getting sick of all the chicken, tuna, salmon and cottage cheese…

Argh!!
Am I getting fatter or what???  I’ve been working out for 7 months.  I see definite gains in the mirror.  But I want to hit my goal of 11% BF by Jan 1 2008.  Problem is according to my bathroom fat scale, I’ve made zero progress since Feb 2007?  I am determined to find some hydrostatic weighing place within 100 miles of my place and find out for real what my body fat number is.  I’m obsessed.  How much I can bench, I really couldn’t care less.  How fast I can run a mile, so what…  But the body fat number, I must know it!!

I was content to say so long as i’m going down, who cares about the absolute number.  But I’m not going down.  Have I been spinning my wheels for 6 months?  It’s just not possible.  Maybe after my 9 week optimum anabolics program I’ll do some sort of radical cutting diet.  I dunno…  <sigh>…
