Week update

Wow..it's been 4 days since I last blogged...so to quickly update:

I worked like a madman this week. I didn't get a chance to hit the gym Monday or Tuesday. I was completely exhausted. I stuck to my diet though. Wednesday I hit up some quick cardio and blew my back hard with a good workout. I didn't go to the gym Thursday because I needed that extra sleep.

Today I'm going to hit some cardio with arms around 1pm. I already did my taxes and can't wait for that return to come in. I did my food shopping and going to hit BJ's for water, Splenda, and eggs. I'm going to try to curb certain things in my diet. For example, I always put sugar in my coffee in the morning. Usually, if you take it when you first wake up, it's not so bad, considering your body's glycogen levels are low. But I don't want to sacrifice added calories. I'm going to watch what I eat also late at night. Protein shakes only. I'm back down to my original weight before Easter, so I'm happy. I'll either hit the gym tonight for late night cardio or go for a walk in the neighborhood with my Ipod.

Tomorrow is strictly cardio. Since my car is getting a part replaced at the dealership, I don't know when I'm getting it back. So I'm going to do cardio in the neighborhood in the morning. I'm trying to implement more protein and less carbs on the weekend, since I eat a lot of W/W bread during work weeks. My goals are simple: lose 25 lbs by my birthday, which is 2 months away. Then set a new goal of 25 lbs for my friend's wedding. If I come close to it, I won't be disappointed. Rome wasn't built in a day and a great body takes time. I may not see the results I want quickly, but I'm sure they will show by summer's end.

These next few months will be stressful. Trying to get into Nursing school, paying off my two credit cards, buying a new car, staying in shape, helping the family, and actually TRYING to enjoy one summer for myself. Once September comes, it will all be different. I'll need to concentrate on school and work. Life is supposed to be hard. There is no easy way out, even though we all wish for it. You can only make your life better by investing in it. Anyways, time to hit up that gym and take care of business. I'll see you guys tomorrow!

God is great and keep fighting the good fight!
