Sort of took a week off, not willingly, but I have been preoccupied with getting my car straight. At any rate, body has been holding. My weight has leveled off at 175 average…exactly where I want to be. I have been watching my sugar and other carb consumptions. I have limited myself to a few cravings – pizza on the weekend and bun once a day during the week.  I really like the rhythm that I am in right now…feeling awesome.

Pumping up the amount of weights now. Did eat properly this today leading up to workout, felt pretty weak.  At any rate, got through the entire workout with not too much of a struggle; just didn’t get the intense burn I needed. Guess I will look into leveling off here for awhile and increase the reps.

Felt really great today at my workout. Had enough energy to power through at a pretty good rate. Meals today were superb. Had fried egg-wholewheat bagel sandwiched with a cup of black coffee. I then had a shake before and after workout and 2 pieces of chicken an a yogurt with peanuts for lunch. Right now I feel pretty stuffed. Will try to replicate today for tomorrow when I have my upper body part 1 routine.Â

This was a real steamer today. I ran outside on a track here on base for the first time in…heck I can ‘t even remember. Ran 10 laps…about a mile and a half, and honestly, I was winded. Not only was it hot as heck, it the softness of the track seemed to sap every ounce of energy I had with each step. Not sure if I will be doing that again. Not because I got winded, but the exposure to the sun was terrible…it felt as though I was roasting. It has been a long time since I felt that kinf of heat.

This is basically my start of my second string on this new regime. Felt relatively strong, but not as strong as I would like to. I think if I want to get a real pump, I might really have to look into getting a better breakfast than I am right now. This morning I had 2 eggs and a cup of black coffee. I also, had a protein shake before and after my workout. I really need to focus on my eating…it is a focal point of this phase anyway, so that should go without saying.
