Body Project

For my left shoulder and left elbow.  I believe my elbow is just a little tendonitis, and the shoulder is from heavy inclines the other night.  But other than that I feel good.  All my out of town weight I gained a few weeks back that bumped me to a little over 210 is gone baby!  Back down to lowest weight in over 9 years at 203.4 this am, and that was with no cardio this am.  I have been on less than 50 grams a day carbs since Monday, but bumped my flax oil and fish oil intake to 2 times a day, 15 mL of each and I believe my body is adapting.  Read about this in the Anabolic Solution. 

Anyway, I feel good and am starting to see more definition in the abs.  My foods to start the week will be pork tenderloin grilled with chipolte Mrs. Dash and salad with home made dressing of olive oil and white pear infused balsamic vinegar with some shallots and spices, yummmmy!  The only carbs will be dry rolled oats, 1/2 cup with 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries in the am for some carb and fiber.  So I will have a shake at 6 am, then oats and berries at 6:30, whole food at 9, 12, and 3, then shake at 5, w/o at 6, then shake at 7, and maybe some cottage chesse before bed, low fat of course.  This works for me from what I can tell.  Cardio will be twice a day again this week most everyday unless other daddy duties pull me off track.

Church was great today, except all the kids I teach in my sunday school class were on doughnut overload, very crazy.  Lunch with some friends after church at Olive Garden, salad and a dish called mixed grill, meat, chicken, and veggies.  NO Carbs at all.  Well a few croutons!  Nice trap, calves and ab w/o this afternoon, now relaxing before dinner, then cardio, paperwork, get girls to bed, and rest before I go to bed myself.  Hope everyone has a nice week, or anyone who might read this anyway.

I went to Atlanta for surprise party for my mom’s 60th b-day this weekend, and ate whatever i wanted from Friday am till last night.  Put me up to 210 lbs and puffy.  Got back on track this am and going all protein for next 3-4 days, low carbs if any to get my system shocked.  i have taken some time off from cardio but starting back daily again in am.  the only bad thing is i stepped on the little wheel on my bench n the garage and jammed my lower back and it freaking hurts.  So I will play my leg and back day by ear and be gentle.  Almost 1 week into cycle of 11 OXO and Vitrix stack, but will have to wait a few days to see if any progress now that I am back on routine.  I have notcied more vascularity the past few days, even resting, so maybe that is the 11 OXO.

This week has been a rough one.  Nothing major going on except for a possible job change, which is good, but got off track with my eating.  Not a major slip, but ate a few things that tasted good for a few minutes, then hit my stomach like a rock.  I am stuck at 203.8 - 205.4 lbs.  I have taken a few days off from cardio to try to throw my body off,but will start back in the am.  I am going to low carb starting Monday for a few days and try to lose some of the bloat and water from the bad foods.  I am so close to abs, just ready to get there.  I will have to say that I am in such better shape at 205 than i was at 245 back in November.  I feel better, and don’t mind having my shirt off now.  Some of my neighbor hood guy friends have commented, some about the shaving of chest arms and legs, others about wanting to know what i did to lose the gut.  Some of the comments are from jealousy i am sure, because they look like i did 5 months ago.  Anyway, have to get back in gear so i can get my six pack, then i will look good from the neck down, instead of as my wife said to me in December, "You look good from the neck up", and that was being nice.
