The Natural Body Builder

Motivation still high.

2011-01-13T14:30:00.000-08:00

I am still plugging away, it just takes time to build a great body. I am taking my 3 month measurements and pics tonight, so I will have new updates soon. I have noticed a pretty good change in my body so far. The changes do not show up so much in pics, but then again I have not taken any pics flexed. So I will start doing that tonight.
I am still totally into this lifestyle, I love how I feel and I love how I am starting to look. I know even better changes are on the way I just have to have patience.

New year, new me.

2011-01-01T18:20:00.000-08:00

Well here we are in 2011. I am well on the way to the new me, but I am really looking forward to seeing the changes my body and I will be making over the next year. I am dedicating 2011 to transforming my body and to never looking back.
I have the dedication, over the last 3 months now I have proved that, so I know this will not just be a new years resolution that lasts a couple of weeks like the average Americans does. This is my new way of life and I love it. More to come soon. I will be posting more progress pics after my 6 month point so there will be very good noticeable gains.

Training update

2010-12-28T22:52:00.000-08:00

Sorry it has been a while since I posted last. I am not going to try to catch up I am just going to start again from this point. I have been very successful in my diet plan and workouts. I am down 12 pounds overall, and have noticeable gains in muscle mass. I still have a long ways to go, but I am doing great and am still plugging away.

Chest and arms day, feel kind of tired out.

2010-11-20T17:50:00.000-08:00

I feel like I need a day off. I guess tomorrow will be a well needed rest day. I think I will go to a 3 day on 1 day off routine. Today I had a good workout for a duty day. My motivation is still very high but I tend to over do it. I do not want to work too hard. I know rest days are a necessity I just want to workout all the time. I am also still eating very well, I am keeping to my diet and eating right. I did have a cheat meal last night, but that is ok every week or so.

I did have a cheat meal on Thursday and did not eat that great on Friday, but I am back at it today. I had a good but short due to time constraints workout. I am standing duty so I had to go on watch, so I did not have enough time to get in a really good workout. I am still plugging along though.

Cheat day, no data...

Now this will be the LAST time I go more than 1 day between workouts! I feel like crap and will not repeat this ever again! I will not let life happen enough to prevent workouts, there is always time to get in a good workout. I just need to make sure it happens.

Chest and arm workout day

2010-10-28T21:55:00.000-07:00

27 October 2010

Well today is chest and arms day. I love this day it is my favorite. I know that every part of the body is just as important as all the others, this is just my favorite area to work.
Today is also another 24 hour duty day in the Navy. I am stuck at work and away from my family which sucks, but oh well only 9 more months until I will be retired from the Navy! WooHoo!
On to the diet and workout log.
