Monday Monday! I look forward to Monday morning’s workout but this morning was a little rougher going than usual. Never the less I got it in and done. Tomorrow is legs and I am not so looking forward to it. Still eating plain day in and day out but I’m used to it. The part that still isn’t very easy is seeing, smelling, and imagining all the other good food out there. Check out my Saturday 1/22/11 post I added a day 1 pic and a 15 weeks out pic. They’re about 3 weeks apart. I’m really self-conscious about posting these pics because I am unhappy with the way I look right now but I have to be patient and remain focused. I think it’s the American culture to want to see immediate results and the way we are trained to check results is the scale, but for anyone competing in bodybuilding it’s more what the mirror and body fat % tell you. In the offseason I normally put on about 25-30 lbs. which means 25-30 lbs. I have to cut. After this show, like I tell myself after every show, I’m going to focus on maintaining a good weight all year round. But that is another blog all in itself. I have an album in my facebook from my last contest, titled “So Fresh So Clean NGA”, that I have to look at to see what I will accomplish if I stay diligent. If you’re on my facebook check it out so you don’t think I’m full of crap… lol. I have a very fragile ego, but I love the challenge. Right now some days are long and they suck but making it through is the most rewarding part for me. I love training and dieting like this because I’m in control. I know what my goals are and what I need to do to accomplish them. Everything single thing I eat or exercise I do is focused towards bringing me closer to my goals on stage. It’s my will vs. my desires and cravings. No greater challenge for me, and I would say for most people but if you’re following along you will see the transformation. 15 weeks left and counting!
I have a family get together later tonight so I had to complete my blog entry early today. I will carb load tonight and I still have meal 6 to eat in about 30 min from now. If I end up cheating I’ll include it in tomorrow’s entry, but I won’t because I gots my minds right! Do work!
