Ok so I woke up extremely early this morning in a cold sweat.  I had a dream about getting old and it really got to me.  I consider myself to be young at heart.  I train twice a day and altogether am not a serious guy except when it comes to family matters.  But, turnining 40 has made me realize maybe I should grow up a little.  What does that mean?  I have no Idea!  I already dont drink, I rarely eat garbage and I only hang out with my wife and kids.  Who knows.   I guess I am more worried about looking my age.  Once again what does my age look like.  In this world 40 looks great!  On the outside world it is pretty scary looking.  I was watching a movie with Will Ferrell Who was a classmate of mine in High School and I could not believe how OLD he looked!  I am just feeling wierd and I am venting!  Thanks for reading!

I have been doing cardio pretty seriously now for about 3 weeks.  I have been getting pretty bored with it so I have been switching it up now.  I will run for 10 mins and then jump on stairmaster for 10 and then run again 10 and stair stepper for 10.  It seems like it is easier for me.  I  also noticed that listening to more mellow music has helped me as well.  Now I just need to figure out if I should do cardio in the morning or weight train in the morning.  I also need to tweek my diet a bit.  I am running out of energy at the end of the day. 

Just something funny or not really.  I was walking into the store to get water prior to my workout this morning and some BIG Women was hauling ass in the parking lot and missed me by a few inches.  while I was in the store she hustled past me and B lined to the Slurpee machine (0500 by the way) Whatever I asked if she even saw me and she grunted and left.   Ok so I am leaving the parking lot and was almost sideswiped by a fellow soldier.  It happens I know but,  he had a gallon of Ice cream he was struggling to eat while driving.  I guess if the food doesnt kill you.  The people who eat it will!

I am having a real problem with my meal plan!  I know I must eat several times a day and balance my my carbs and protein and all that stuff but,  I tell you being in the army it just seems impossible to do it right!  Most people think of soldiers as these physically fit Killing machines but, that couldnt be farther from the truth!  Most Soldiers Eat fast food 3 times a day and are happy when they are 22% bodyfat.  They are always asking me for advice on weight loss and what is the best "Pill"  To help them.  When I tell them the Truth and say Diet and Excercise is the way to do it,  They turn away and go to GNC and by Hydroxycut!  I am Frustrated!  My Goal is 10% Bodyfat and I am screwing myself I might take in 1500 Calories a day and I am worn out from my Cardio at 0430  and weight training at Noon.  My Eating I know Sucks because it is Tuna in a can and Whey protein during the day.  Night time I eat right.  I am just venting no real Method to my Skills as a writer.  Thanks for reading

Just got back from my MRI appt.  I am truly depressed!  I was in Iraq and injured my knee while on patrol.  I never really got it checked out but, the pain went away.  Last week I was doing Squats and my knee just exploded!  Went to see the doc and he said that I am screwed.  I just started to really see some progress in my training and I am really enjoying my leg workouts.  I am sidelined now until I find out what is up.  Just thought I would share.
