So today is day one i guess. From this big supposed changed that i intend to make on my life. The day didn’t really get off to such a well start but i continued to push even though things didn’t start out as well as i wanted. For one i woke up majorly sick. It was around 10AM i first woke up and i totally felt like major crap so i pursued to stay asleep until around noonish when i finally woke up staring at the television for half an hour. My nose was stuffed up i thought my throat was getting sore but fortunately it wasn’t as bad as i thought. First thing i did today was make myself something to eat. And although i would like to eat healthier then i am, the choices weren’t very wide. In fact the only thing i could really eat was a ham sandwich. I was really disappointed that yet again I’ve let myself become broke again. And on top of that i’m living with one of my close friends. Not that I’m even really helping my friend but it makes me wonder… What if i didn’t have my friend to help me where would i live how would i support myself. The answer to that is one i really don’t want to think about. And on top of that what if in the near future i can’t stay there anymore, then what? It’s kind of depressing but i know that i need to really buckle down and figure out how to get out of all this mess. Ever since I’ve lived with my friend Julie I’ve remained distant from my biological family. Ever since me and my wife left living with my mom. Me and my family sort of went there separate ways. At first me and my mom were in a big fight but about after a week we started talking again but it wasn’t like we were ready to jump back into each others lives. My mom told me she was moving to Las Vegas and i took her word for it. We lost contact with each other, i had lost my phone and well lets just say mom mom isn’t the best and tracking down people. The last 3 or so months have pretty much been the same nothing new, no progress which really has upset me. Not only am i not bettering myself but my 1 year old son has to take the toll of it. Sure my wife says she got things handled to some degree but she really isn’t doing much better then me. It took me about a couple of months to finally realize that she didn’t want to be with me because she simply doesn’t love me. I dunno if she ever did. She claims to have loved me at one time, but i think the truth is we just got married way to young, and the sad reality of it all was that she wasn’t ready to settle down. I forget sometimes that we are 4 years apart. And not that 4 years apart is such a big age gap, but we’re in that age where a person really changes from being a kid to an adult. I’m starting to for the first time venture into being an adult while she is still freshly out of high school wanting to do things that i haven’t even thought about for 4 or 5 years. While she is still learning, and I’m sure would continue to go along with life’s paths and learning experiences I’m hesitant to role along with her because I’m tired of making the same mistakes. Its gotten to the point where its almost taken over who i am. In a couple days I’ll be 24. Now don’t get me wrong 24 is still way young. I’m pretty sure most 30 or 40 year old’s would give god only knows what to live 24 again, but at the same time its not a kid anymore. I’m not 18 19 or 21 or even 22 anymore. To me when i think of those ages i think of has way to much life ahead of them. but when i think of 24 i think of 26 27 and 28. And by then i would at least think that a person would have there life somewhat together and knowing what direction they will lead going into there prime years 30 to 45. So approaching my 24th birthday which is in a couple of days i plan to make change starting now. Like i was sort of mentioning earlier before i kind of got off track my day started off really slow. After eating lunch/breafast whichever you want to go by i headed my way to the gym. I decided to do back and chest. Even though i was feeling very sick i decided to do nothing overly insane just do the basic one hour workout and be on with my day. Today i took my plasma jet along with my superpump and size on. I had a good work out i really feel as if I’m transforming my back. I think that’s the main thing I’ve learned over the last couple of years of training is that before you get all super excited about gaining size and mass you really need to slow down your ego and take time when developing muscle groups. You also have to have a strong supporting muscles when you try to do more powerful lifts. I can’t even really imagine going into a bench press raw without ever working out. When eventually i start to workout my son, maybe 14 years from now. I’m going to have him do things like dips push ups pull ups sit ups hyper extensions so that i know his body is use to handling and balancing weight. I remember doing things for years and wondering why i wouldn’t have the same success as others and it was mainly for my lack of strength in certain body parts. As soon as i started concentrating on building a stronger back or stronger set of shoulders my other lifts jumped with ease. That’s why i know now its super important to work the entire body first then concentrate on individual parts later down the line. Anyways i know I’ve sort of ranted allot for my 2nd entry. Let i remind anybody who decides to read my entries this is for no intent to please others, for Christ sakes i don’t even feel like write in paragraphs this is one giant block of writing which may seem annoying. My sole purpose for writing these blogs is to vent how i feel at a certain time. I’ve always wanted to keep a journal. I pretty much have allot to say on a day to day basis, and i just thought it was time that i started writing about whats going on with my life. If you enjoy my blogs i invite you to keep reading, if not well i dunno what to say to that either. Anyways I’ll be writing a blog every day for at least year, i mean that’s my homework. If I’m going to make change like i say i do i at least need to take 30 min out of my day and write something for myself. Well that’s it for today I’ll try not to be so draggy tomorrow adios.

I’ve come to the conclusion that its time to buckle down to a new level of seriousness. I’ve been able to learn pretty much the basics of workout for the last 2 years, but unfortunately I’ve been slacking off. Not slacking off in terms of not showing up the gym. Just i dunno if I’ve had a burning desire within myself. Its like I’m training aimlessly unknowing where it is i want to go. I’ve just come to terms that i don’t want to be walking in the dark anymore i want a more set goal. And well coming onto my bodyblog and writing about it is the first steps towards making a change. Not only with working out, but my life in general, my job, my family my kid. Everything is going to change, starting as of right now. I know I’ve tried to do some things similar in the past. And unfortunately I’ve failed. However just because I’ve failed a certain amount of times in the past doesn’t mean i have to continue my life that way. If i had followed into that belief i would of never began getting serious about weightlifting to begin with for 4 years I had wanted to start working out and getting serious. And for 4 years i kept starting and giving up, starting and giving up, however now i’ve been a mainstay in the gym for 2 years now. Now its time to push it to another level, and I’m confident with what everything that’s going on in my life today i have the will and desire to make all my dreams come true. Feels good to get all of that off my chest.

so yeah i’ve been offline for the last couple of days. My wireless keyboard had some water spilt on it, so today i picked up a brand new keyboard. So yup yup i’m back online. Anyways its almost the first week done of the transformation. I already look at the picture that i have posted and i feel like that i’ve already made big improvements. I’ve been doing cardio, and working out my abs and calves a super tone. I still haven’t been able to really master my diet yet, i have cut soda totally out of my deit and its really going well. I even tried to cheat at dinner after i got married this week, and i took one sip, and it tasted awful. I guess the sugar was really tacky to my toungue so yeah i’ve been enjoying water just fine. I wanted to go to the store and buy all the food that i need to do the transformation but my family is really struggling right now to pay the rent, so its kind of been eat whatever i could get my hands on. I ate pretty clean and healthy the first 3 to 4 days of this week but the last 2 or three i’ve just been eating enough so that i wasn’t feeling hungry. I even had mcdonalds last night i was pretty starving so i ate.
My workouts are going pretty good, i mean obviously after taking that 2 week break my lifts aren’t as heavy as they normally are but im sure that after a month of so i’ll be lifting pretty heavy again. Like i mentioned earlier my abs and calves have been worked out extremly hard this week. I couldn’t be more proud of the effort i’ve given those muscles. I’d say overall i’ve done a good job the first week but i think i can still take it up a notch. At this time i’m really not worried about winning the transfermation. I just want to make an improvment. I’m spending time at the bookstore whenever i can to learn new things in the exercises books. I learning different types of training and that all is being pretty helpful. I’m starting to do gymnastics, yesterday i was doing hand stands and cartwheels. In about 2 weeks i’ll be working on my back and front handsprings. The day after New years i got married to my girlfriend of a year, we already have a 3 month boy named joshua. And so thats pretty much what has been up the last week or so. I’m about to get ready to hop out the door and work out my hamstrings wish me luck everyone thanks for everybodys comments and support!

omg i woke up at 6am to take the pictures. It took me like 6 hours to get em. My digital camera sucked. Every picture i took was blury!!! So i had to use my sister taylors camera, that took me like 2 hours to get the hang of. On top of that every picture i took was like times 1000X in size so when i tried to upload them they were to big to upload…. so then i had to get my little brother to take em all over again. Then on top of that my girlfriend was pissed cause apparently she wanted to go to downtown la to celebrate new years day. And i guess i’m still trying to take these pictures so she hung up the phone on me all pissed off. So yeah this morning was not all cool like i thought it be. I still haven’t gone training yet. So i guess i’ll get my ass in the gym and start chizziling away…. ehh sigghh..

omg i’m itching out of my skin to start working out. I’ve never felt so rested in my life before. I know as soon as i hit the weights again my body is just gonna react like no other! I haven’t weighed myself since around the 20th. My body weight was hangin around the 226 and 230lbs area. Im assuming when i start my training i’m gonna be no lest then 225.
Since i have like 16 weeks to train in the contest, i’m actually going to still bulk starting in 2009. The only thing thats going to be different for at least the first 8 weeks instead of eating whatever i want i’m gonna eat clean. And my weakest points are gonna be my biggest focus. Abs, calves, forearms, and wide back and thick lower back. When it comes time for the judging at the end, i want those parts to be what really jump out at the judges. I know abs is going to be a must, obliques and everything it has to be the complete package. I’m pretty sure everything else will take care of itself.
