Motivation still high.

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.

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.

Chest and arms day, feel kind of tired out.

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.

Body Building

My wife and I just decided to get into the sport of Body Building so this blog will track our progress.
We will post up progress numbers and pics, workout routines, supplement information, nutrition, etc...
I started this new path in my life on 11 October 2010.
