It is now the first part of April. The 9th to be exact… I have made great strides since my last blog. I have been eating healthier with a couple of cheat meals here and there, but they are scheduled. My resistance training has been great. I have gotten stronger and I see results. I remember at this time last year I was struggling with certain lifts and felt weak. For example, I am now doing a 3×10 workout. On my Chest - Biceps day (m) last year I was struggling putting up 160 lbs and now I use that for my reps. I have seen great advances and have broken through many strength barriers. But, I still feel I have failed in my body structure. I am not lean and would like to be. I want great ab’s and I still don’t. I get really frustrated because I should already have them and then I jack around and not get that final discipline I need to break that barrier. I find myself getting frustrated with other people’s gains. I tend to let my own pride get in the way. I don’t want to be jealous of others but I find myself leaning that way. I know that it isn’t about them but my gains are the ones that I need to focus on. For example, my cousin was out here over the holidays and I would say he weighed about 280 lbs. He went back to Chicago and told his mother who lives here in Vegas that he was going to get into shape. He tells her that he still eats what he wants because he rides his bike for 1/2 hour a day and works out on his Bowflex. My aunt tells me that he is down below 200 lbs. and is in great shape. I want to be happy for him, and I truly am, but I find myself getting pissed because he has done in 3 months what I have been trying to do for a year. I don’t know… I am just ranting here. I am happy with my progress and I am still in the fight. I will be below 200 lbs. before summer comes and I will be gracing my Hotel’s pool with my shirt off drinking the Michelob Ultra’s with the hotties. We’ll see….
