I'm Off

My first rest day is here and it I feel really good. Today I can truly appreciate all the muscles used this week thanks to the soreness. But I have been making sure I eat just a little bit more extra protein in my diet (about 50 grams more) in order to enhance recovery. So far this initial weight loss has help further my determination, I know going back to the shape I was used to being will not come easy but I will get there hopefully in 3 months.

Nothing can be left to chance. I have been taking all precautions as far as supplementation and dieting. My training is on point and from this point forward the only thing that can stop me is my own determination and demons.

Fuck you Dunkin donuts,

and in the note the hell with the Aguas Frescas (fruit water) that my wife loves with almost 60 grams of sugar. Most of my friends feel like sharing their food, "here have some of my bruschetta sandwich," "here a little bite of cake will not hurt you," or the "you trained 4 hours today why cannot you splurge in your diet a little."

Why do they care? It is not like it's their body. They are not suffering the hunger or the initial glucose stabilization where the body has to work in given grams of carbs at specific times. The question is why they consider my lifestyle to be the problem and not theirs? Why is my meal frequency, choices, supplements and training the morbid monster they must help me deal with? Why cannot I walk to them and help them deal with their smoking, or their drinking, or their fat stomachs?

But those vices are acceptable, being fat is ok until you turn on the TV and you realize the sad truth of the good looking skinny people appearing on TV. They do not advertise food, no; burger king uses actors watching football games that seem in ok shape so a small belly is acceptable. But the people they want to be like are all in shape. Yet once we turn off the TV everything goes back to normal and we start making excuses. 1) They are actors and they have all the money and time 2) they have a super trainer that knows everything 3) They are not as stress as me.

1) If you eat crap chances are you spend more if not the same than buying and cooking lean meats and carb sources. But they will not believe this. My bill is about 40 dollars a week on food if not less. 2) You can learn pretty much if you keep going frequently to the gym, there are tons of people there that know what they are doing and 3) everyone has stress deal with it.

As far as the splurging in my diet goes since I gained weight I think I am done with my splurging for a while.
