Today was turkey day. And you would think that it is a recipe for disaster for someone who’s trying to cut back on the calories. Today actually turned out excellent. Since I slept in I skipped my morning snack, just not enough time between breakfast and lunch to fit it in. Instead I had a [...]

Today I was too lazy to make lunch or dinner. Because of this I ended up at Taco Bell/KFC for lunch and ate a sushi roll for dinner. Last time I ate at Taco Bell I was already trying to be health conscious and ate a Chicken Soft Taco (it’s a ridiculously cheap 79 cent [...]

Tomorrow should be an easy day again but Thursday will probably be pretty brutal with Thanksgiving and all. Although [...]

Photo Update

Today is the 4 week mark from the first photo of 10/26/2009. There is clear difference. Today while I was taking the photos I have also noticed how my forearms are thinner and that the skin above my biceps are not as thick. My calf are getting downright cut. Well cut might be an overstatement [...]

Monday is chest/abs day for me and as usual it is my weak spot. I am trying to bench press 80lbs and it’s still kicking my ass. For my 3rd set I had to drop it back down to 60lbs. I really hope I get some good muscle aches by tomorrow otherwise I wouldn’t understand [...]

Cardio

It is really tough to get my cardio in on nights that are picture nights. I mess around with the stupid pictures so much that I hardly have time to finish off my elliptical hour before midnight. I did nevertheless, but I’m already worried about 11/27. At least it will fall on the long weekend [...]
