New baby doesn’t help the training regimen!
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008Yup had a new baby. A little boy. Cute as a button (he looks like me!). But dang if all the responsibilities that come with your second child don’t put a damper on your diet and training. I actually lost weight (4 pounds) and gained fat! If there’s ANYTHING more devastating to a recreational bodybuilder…
But I started a new routine yesterday…a 12 week challenge out of Muscle & Fitness. It’s no joke. It was so hot today (no AC in my basement gym) and the fact that I let myself go over the past couple of months that I couldn’t even make it through today (leg day). I wanted to puke somethin’ awful.
But I have to keep my eyes on the prize. My goal for some time (when I started out at 138 lbs) was 170 lbs and 10% bodyfat. I’m at 168 with about 23% BF. That’s the fattest I’ve ever been! Not cool!
So I have my work cut out for me. I need to stay motivated and MAKE time (without being a neglectful father and husband). It’s just HARD with two kids, job, house, (wife is in no condition to do housework yet), and my artistic ventures (music performance and a novel).
Luckily this site exists, and I can always find excellent motivation just by connecting with many of you.
