Today was a rest day from weights and I felt really rejuvenated today especially with my carb load last night. By the time I was doing my cardio this afternoon it took some self-coaching to keep myself going. I really am seeing some good results though so that in itself is motivation. I got my food stocked up, or at least my chicken and fish s big ups to my cousin Brian for the hook up. I’m gonna shoot a quick video tomorrow at my work gym with Coach Mike Parker. He’ll check my body fat % with calipers. I’ve said before that for me the true judge is what I see in the mirror but it’s a good estimate to make sure I’m moving in the right direction as far as cutting weight of Fat versus muscle. Overall though, I’d have to attribute my success so far to discipline. I’ve done a pretty good job of staying on track and not cheating. I really haven’t come close to cheating yet and it’s because I stay ahead of the game and keep my food prepared. It’s tough and somewhat time consuming but the results have made it worth it. I get asked all the time, “Dude why/how do you eat like that?” and in my mind I answer, “well I can eat like this and look like me or eat that and look like you.” And that makes it a little easier, but I don’t say that out loud of course. I know that’s mean but it comes down to who’s in control me or the food? That’s why I love this because I’m in control.
