Yeah, working swings are fine. There's a lot less people around, work gets done a lot faster. Graves, well some people work them for years and still haven't gotten use to them.

I'm at the gym five days a week. However, on my diet, if you can now can it that, has slacked down significantly. My hats off to you for keeping with it. I never had a problem working out, finding the right diet was a little harder. Found, it's more an expense problem than anything else. Added to that, getting my wife to cook exclusively healthy tuff. That too is a monitary problem. Why to they penalize you for eating healthy. I'm even at McDonald's the salad, veggies for goodness sakes, are just as expensive as the meal. Groceries are no better. Eating healthy is expensive. My diet had two sort of protien fast burning and a slow burning protien (while I sleep), mixed with glutamine. I eat a small healthy meal in my diet guide lines every three to four waking hours, routine between food and protein, food then protein.

On friday I felt spunky in the gym and did my arms and chest for a second time. kind of hyped up waiting to watch the UFC saturday and man am I paying for it. I did drops on my arms and chest....feel like my chest is going to never get back to normal!

Had a great night at my mother in laws watching the fights. Dinner their was a "turkey christmas Dinner" and I ate good...but with in my diet! Turnips, Carrots and turkey! Weird I know but it was the only food I could eat! I have to admit I had some Coke Zero with my dinner but after a killer friday work out and the saturday reps I think I did well enough to burn a few calories.

The next question is why have two. I guess, some people still like diet and change can sometimes be bad. Like that Cherry Coke.

I just caught a glimpse of my stomach. Man, the fat just kinda pops up. Looks like I will have to start the extra cardio and start cooking my own health meal if the wife won't or can't comply.

I dropped 10 pounds in two weeks changing my diet and re-entering the world of conditioning training. I have had a few set backs as far as training that I normally dont add to the training journal but it might help some of you who dont have a "extreme" Family life.
I began my training months back and had to off set it a bit because my daughter has several special needs disorders, as some of you know she has PCH2, CP and Micro Cephaly with a seizure disorder, so every time we end up at the Emerge with her I miss training and it is hard to get back on track.

However, I have a few goals that I have set up and altering my training to meet those goals starting this monday. first off I have my next level test for Karate coming up, mostly political but the physical part is an hour long test with tones of sparring against younger guys. The next is my blue belt in Jiu Jitsu that I want to challenge for. A goal I have had for a few months now, forgot to mention I started doing BJJ about six months ago and have a long way to go, but I want to include that as a main goal....and lastly I have always wanted to be a cop. So, I am going to get my hide back in shape to challenge the POPAT (police officers physical assesment test).

So, to do that I am going to have to get in shape, better than I am in...I dont like "passing" a test, I like DESTROYING it! Second the diet has to get better keyed in. So I know what you mean about you wife and cooking. I cook and it is lean meats with veggies, she cooks and it is pasta and cream sauce or stuffed peppers with fatty lamb and or tones of Rice in sauce. Time to get it on. I will post my new work out schedule and resluts as I go! Wish me luck y'all. :lol:

So, I'm not alone in the wife's delicious but not notrious cooking habits.

To fix the belly problem, I am switching to stomach exercise twice a day. With a break on one day of the weekend.
Cardio for now 2 more 20 minute hard session a week.

What's really killing me is, for having the protien shakes between meals, they take the edge of hunger. Without, I have falling back into eating 2 to 3 times a day, large meals. I've changed my course, by am on the right path.
