From Flabulous to Fabulous

Today was great! I got a lot of work done for my job and I got a lot of work done for my business site. I ate pretty clean except for dinner. I had two corny dogs for dinner. I regret it, but I didn’t feel like cooking. I was going to have some margaritas tonight, but I decided not too. Plus I’m working out tomorrow morning. Every time I drink and get wasted, I wake up drunk the next morning. I don’t think it’ll be good to lift weights while drunk. LOL!

Besides everything above, not too much else really happened today. It wasn’t a workout day so I don’t have anything exciting to report there. Today was just a regular "work day," and I’m still not done. So let me finish working and I’ll get back on bodyspace tomorrow.

Today was very tiring. I woke up early and hit the gym and then immediately came home to begin working and catching up on bodyspace stuff. I almost stopped writing "My Day" Posts, but after a few good people convinced me that these posts were more for me, I thought it was a good idea to continue writing, even if I don’t get any feedback from others.

Today was also very exciting, because I finally got the main infrastructure of my new website built. Now I just have to fill it in with content and what not. I can’t wait to get it completed. It too will be another project of mine focused on helping people. I don’t know if it is appropriate to talk too much about the site here though. It is not bodybuilding or fitness related and I don’t want anyone to be under the assumption I am soliciting my site. So for now, I’m just looking for you all to pray for my success and keep me in your thoughts. Today I was very mellow. I had kind of a melancholy attitude. I’m not sure why. I started opening up more as the evening kicked in though.

I had a great workout today, and I increased my leg exercises by 10 pounds. That was very exciting. I’m also starting to see some very noticeable fat reduction in my stomach area. That too is VERY VERY exciting!

It’s 2:10 A.M. and I got another long day ahead of me tomorrow, so I’m outta here.

I’m not sure if anyone cares about my days. Not too many people view "my day" blog posts, so I will no longer be writing about my days unless someone cares to hear about it. If you care to hear about my days, drop me a comment to this post. If there’s a demand, then I will provide the supply (my day posts). If there is not a demand, I will stop boring you all with posts about my days. Until next time…

Hello to who ever is reading this. Today was a good day. I worked on posting another interview, and I even picked up an interview from someone recommended by my buddy Curt. It’s Ivy78. She’s pretty cool and has some great inspiration in a lot of different ways. I’m looking forward to working with her. Everyone has taken really well to the interviews and they have gotten hundreds of viewers. I think my mission is being accomplished, I just hope people are getting some inspiration and putting it to use. After all, inspiration is no good unless you put in your dedication.

Today was my little brother’s 8th birthday, so I pretty much spent the evening with my family. It was fun. We (the grown-ups) gossiped, laughed, and enjoyed ourselves. Dinner was delicious. I really wasn’t supposed to be eating the meal prepared because it wasn’t in my diet plan, but since it was a special occasion, I had to get some. I must admit though; I felt really guilty. I ate like crap this weekend. I had a pizza buffet Friday, a big fat burger and fries Saturday, and chicken alfredo, cake and ice cream tonight.
Tomorrow I have to get up at 4:00 A.M. to pick up family from the airport. It’s going to throw off my whole day! My workout will probably be fu**ed! I’m going to try my best though. I’m not sure how I’m going to get up that early. It kind of pisses me off, but hey that’s what you gotta do for family. Just grin and bare it.

I guess I better get to bed soon so I can get up at 4:00 A.M.

Busy, Busy, Busy today. I say that everyday though. I’m started to get annoyed with saying the same thing. Maybe I should stop. Anyways, today as everyone knows; I finally got my interviews done. I’ve got a few more people to come, but for the most part I’m finished. It’s a sigh of relief, yet bitter sweet. I really enjoyed doing the interviews and I’m sure I’ll continue to do them in the future. I’ll have to be a bit more selective though next time. Some people just didn’t take it seriously. That’s their loss I suppose. I probably better stop with that conversation, before I open up a can of worms.

The rest of my day was pretty good, until I opened my mailbox and noticed my paycheck was not there. I work from home doing internet marketing work as an independent contractor. It is pretty awesome because I can set my own hours, the pay rate is pretty good, and the job is really easy. The only thing that sucks is…The owner is a complete dumb a**. He apparently left for Austin yesterday and "neglected to pay me on time." So he sent my check in the mail. (so he says) Unlucky for me, rent is due today. Hopefully the check comes by Monday.

Wow, I just realized I spread all my business. Oh well I guess…I just had to vent. Other than that, my day was pretty descent. I felt like such a loser though. My girlfriend and I were planning to go to dinner tonight and the "pay check" issue basically messed that up. So her parents took us to dinner. They’re pretty cool though, so it wasn’t that bad.

Anyways, I’m basically just rambling on now. It’s 1:54 A.M. now, so I better get to bed.

Today was a good day. But once again…Busy as usual. I sound like I’m complaining, but I actually love staying busy. After all, if you’re not busy, you’re not doing anything productive.

I’m a Texan and today I wanted to get out and vote for the primary presidential election but the lines were out the door and into the street so I had to pass I look forward to voting in the general election though. I’m very fired up about politics, as I believe we should all be. But anyways, besides that I got my last workout in for the week. It was really good. I had no stress to deal with today so I went in the gym and hit the weights really hard. I even increased the weight in my tricep pull downs and shoulder press exercises. That felt REALLY GOOD! Once again, I haven’t had any weight gain But I’m not concerned about the weight as much as I’m concerned about what I look like in the mirror. I want to hit 200 lbs with lean muscle mass by this summer and so far I’m at 181 lbs. I’m not too far off especially considering I was 156 lbs. 2 months ago. If you’re reading this, cheer me on and I will get to my goal weight easier.

I will admit though, I had a pizza buffet for dinner tonight and really went all out. I had about 15 slices to be exact. I felt pretty bad afterwards. I felt like my workout for today was pointless, but I have to have a cheat day everyone now and then right?

Tomorrow at 2:00 CST I will be posting the highly publicized interviews of my "bodyspace inspirations" I mentioned previously. I hope you all read them and like them. I’d like to send another thank you to those who participated.

Well, I better get to bed. It’s 12:48 A.M. and I gotta get up early to get the interviews prepared for submission. Check back at my blog at 2:00 CST Saturday March 1st and support the interviews and interviewees.

-Peace, Love, Harmony-

Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a couple days. I’ve been really really busy. I’ve been gathering interviews for bodyspace members I’m posting Saturday. I want to give a formal apology to those I could not get to. They know the whole story already. For those I could get to and participated I want to extend the deepest thank you. I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about my business venture and it’s been very time consuming. I made a lot of mistakes and ultimately had to spend 4 hours re-writing my business plan today. It’ll be all worth it though in the end.

I’m proud to say, I’ve been seeing some great results in my body transformation. I’ve been eating clean, cutting the fat, and gaining some very lean muscle mass. I’m going to be posting new progress pics every 2 months, so my next pics will be posted 4/1/08. I can’t wait to show everyone my progress and see what you all think.

It’s 1:24 A.M. now and I gotta get some sleep for the gym tomorrow morning, so I’ll talk to everyone tomorrow.

P.S. I know a lot of people tried to P.M. me today and my inbox was full. I emptied it out, so if you need me, P.M. me.

Today was much better than yesterday. My girlfriend and I reconciled and my workout was great! I even increased my bench. It felt great. I was really busy though. I have a lot of interviews to prepare for some body space members. I had a lot of revisions to make. Other than that, my day was pretty much usual.

Sorry for boring you. This post is nothing special.

This is the first entry in a category entitled: My day. I will be making daily journal style entries outlining "my day." I’m sure no one really cares about my day, but I suppose this will be more for myself. I need something therapeutic to let stuff out.  Especially on a day like today. Today has been mixed with so many different emotions and problems.

The day started with business as usual. I got up, read some bible scriptures, said a prayer and started blogging. The whole day went great and then I wrote this blog entitled: Do Men Prefer Bodybuilder Type Women or Fitness Type Women. Someone made a comment that they respected female bodybuilders but preferred to be with fitness model body type women. I commented back and said, "I agree." My girlfriend read the blog and through a fit because she said "fitness models are ugly. They have no ass, they’re way to strong, and they look like me." I disagreed and told her that I made a simple comment to one of the previous comments posted. I then became very offensive because first of all, she was classifying all fitness models they same way. And they’re obviously not. I just thought she was way out of line altogether.

She was on some sort of tip as though I don’t like her body type. I explained to her that there are a multitude of fitness model body types and for what her body transformation goal was; she wanted to look like a fitness model!

I just don’t understand it. I go through this jealousy crap every month and I don’t know how to handle it any more. This has completely ruined my night. I guess I’ll probably sleep on the couch.

What really sucks about this, is that when I deal with the level of argument we had tonight it makes my workout weak. I hope I will be able to sustain tomorrow.
