Feeling much better

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:36:20 +0000

I lucked out about a week ago and got some really clean weight gaining from walmart on clearence. I paid 10 bucks for 10 pound of this stuff. Its nothing special, just weight gainer which doesn’t have much sugar in it. I have been taking t once a day as suggested and it is woring wonders. I think i have been lacking calories in my diet. I have noticed significant energy increase and my workouts have much improved since.

Getting back at it!

I’ve been busy with life the last few months, upon graduating from my program I recieved a job within a week and started with in 2. I worked at that job for 2 months before deciding to leave as I did not like the job nor did I like the people that ran the small business. I have been going to the gym on and off however am aiming to complete my goal. I have a very tough battle ahead of me, however I do believe that if I stay focused I will complete it. I will be continuing school in the fall which will allow me to work hard on getting into model form again. I will post new pictures and stats very soon.

Sick-a few days off

The last couple days i’ve had a lump in my throat so i havent been working out, i think i need to cheat eat and see how that helps.

WOW! I have been reminded what it is to workout again

Well this past week, a friend of mine and professional personal trainer and fitness model Tyler Sarry ran me through some of him workouts. I havent felt this soare in a long time. He quickly reminded me and put in check with all the little techniques that you can forget about when you stop training. Once i got over the pain and healed up i again felt great.
Another huge difference in the way i feel is from no longer eatting processed foods, like frozen dinners and frozen baked fries. My family is always on the go so normally these products are staples in our diet. Again, Tyler asked “what the hell is wrong with you-no wonder you feel like a@#!”. So i cut them all out and have been eatting more nutrient dense foods, such as salads, oats, and natural peanut butter. This has made all the difference in my attitude and my athletic performance.

Great weekend

I had a great weekend and i felt great. I have finally gotten around the curve for eatting right and though it took some work, i’m finally on the right path. I did leg workout last night that i’m going to be feeling for days and a shoulder workout over the weekend. Everything seems to be going good. However i doubt i will be able to be in good enough shape for my goal. Thats ok though because i am making progress thats for the better.

Starting to cut Calories

So i reached my goal of 180lbs, Now its time to start cutting the calories and the fat percentage. I’m on day 4 right now and all is going great. I feel good but i had forgotten how mean i become with a lack of calories, but i’m on my way.

The Long week

During the long easter weekend I struggled to get back into my routine and get into the gym. I only made it into the gym once this weekend, but managed to play a full 3 games in a hockey tourney. So i guess that counts for something. I am now just beginning to return to myself and can truely get back to my workouts.

Getting back on my feet after sickness

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 13:58:41 +0000

So for the last week, i have felt aweful and then this past weekend was spent in bed (friday to monday) I’m not sure what it was but wow, it knocked me down. So its obvious to say i havent worked out since the previous weekend(a week and a half ago). I feel like i’ve lost alot of my progress, but its just part of the game. I will start up again on wedensday(tomorrow) and evaluate my losses at the end of the weekend.

March 16-last week was solid and this week hasn’t been

admin — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:12:39 +0000

Last week was a great week overall for workouts, I am coming around the curve of my initial weak point training regime. I have noticed an overall strength increase and have gotten my weight up to 179lbs. 3 weeks until i start to reduce calories and play with macro and micro nutrients. This week has been off to a rough start-but thats only because i didnt workout lastnight. But i’ve still got the rest of the week to make up for it.

March, 12th

This is week 3 without any diet soda. I have notice large changes in my energy levels and my motivation. My diagnosis of acidosis would seem to be correct as my counter measures with supplementation seem to be having a large influence.
