Checking In

Just checking in with everyone and yes I am still out of the gym right now another month and I'll be on my health insurance and I can finally get my foot checked out. It's really starting to hurt more and more and is really starting to worry me, I can't afford to be out of work nor can I afford to be out of the gym! I need to drop this weight and this is not helping what so ever.

Other than that life has been good to me, and I have been keeping on my diet.

Bad News

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while but I've been very mad that I'm still having these bad foot pains and I don't know what they are from, so I've been staying out of the gym I don't want to possibly screw it up anymore than it already is. Only positive thing I have going is I'm staying strict to my diet so hopefully that will help me out.

The weekend!

It's friday, I just got paid and thats about it I'm not singing lol. Anyway workouts have been going good and feeling it in the legs and eating ALOT better then I was so I'm feeling good, it's going to be a little different going out tonight and not drinking and being out at a bar but I think I'll be just fine.

Gotta hit the gym just a quick update.

Because I Go Hard!

Sorry about not updating you in the past couple days I've been real busy! Had to take my tool box down to the shop so I could be prepared for today and this week. Spent the day with my Dad doing other errands, didn't get to the gym, but thats ok because I hit the gym hard on sunday to make up for what I missed. Other than that for the weekend I did awesome going out and not drinking at all so I think I can handle cutting it out because that is a big part of my calorie intake on the weekend.

Today was the first day in the shop and had a good time, it was an easy day but still getting everything down and I can't argue I work with some awesome and funny guys. Now back to what matters, The Gym lol. Myself and Nick Discussed A.K.A. Nick told me and I agreed I should do some interval training on the bike so I did so today hit it for 30 minutes did a little more than a 10 minute warm up and from there I did 5 intervals of 30 seconds as hard as I could on the bike and then off but I told myself to keep a RPM pace of 85-95 RPM's, finished out to 30 minutes then switched machines. Took a short break to get the legs loose again and hit the rowing the machine for 15 minutes and did 3000 meters. I know this isn't a crazy number for the rowing machine but it felt good went at a hard pace for 2 intervals of 30 seconds on this machine also.

All in all a good day today feeling a little weak but also with the switch in my diet the different kind of energy I have right now definitely a good switch.

Cardio w00t!

So I switched gyms today to join up with my friend Nick like I said. Hit up the bike and elliptical for a half hour got a good sweat in today! Nick is also hooking me up with a good diet plan to help me get on track, which i have been doing good at so far but it's always best to get a on a really good diet plan. ALso came to home to find out my parents are going to join a gym also! I was super pumped to hear that. Now i just have to work on getting there diets in check also.

Not too much else....Oh yeah I finished my training for work today! A little nervous to be starting in the shop on Monday but I'm in an awesome shop so I think I will make out great. Honestly can't wait to get behind the wheel of a bus. I got to drive 2 of them last week and it was fun I thought! Can't wait to start getting dirty again, gives you a sense of work paying off. I know that sounds weird but thats just how it is.

Working Hard or Hardly Working

Realizing yesterday that I feel like I'm not doing enough, I decided I have to hit the gym hard. Now I know many of you have offered me to come to the gym with you and I really do appreciate it, but I'm going to join with my close friend Nick. Why? Because we talked about it and even though putting yourself out in the public with a sort of "look at me, look at me" blog like I did, I need that extra get your ass to the gym lets go. With that being said I know I'm really going to have to watch what I eat, but I also have an idea of what i have to do with cardio and weight training.

I'm thinking 10 minute warm up (walk on the treadmill, or bike)
then 30 minutes on the elliptical
weight training for that day(more for tone then muscle gain, less weight more reps)
then 30 hard minutes back on the elliptical or bike

Also diet is extremely important so this weekend I'm heading to Sam's Club and going wild there lol.

Bike+Sweat

Worked up a good sweat today riding the bike/exercise bike. Had to jump on the exercise bike because I'm some problems with the bike on the trainer, I will be going to visit my friends down at Human Zoom hopefully in the next day or two to get this thing fixed up!

Burnin Rubber

First day on the Trainer and man is that tough to go through, its like a more comfortable stationary bike, the plus' of your own bike and all the cons of a stationary. Anyway I still hit it for a half hour up and down on speeds and couple minute or two brakes to adjust the seat and what not, but all in all a good ride and a good sweat!

The one crazy thing out the trainer in the resistance part (I guess you would call it) gets hot it's pretty crazy you have to be careful and not heat up your back wheel lol.

Other news, as most of you know I got a new job with Septa and today was the first time I to drive a bus! No I'm not a driver and I can't get you discounted bus pass' so don't ask. But that was a big thing for me to finally drive a bus!

Ready Set....Train!

Trainer is set up in the basement and ready to go. jumped on it to make sure everything was good and actually started to work up a sweat! I'll post pictures a little bit later, but now i have to shower and get ready for some ink! Can not wait to finally finish this sleeve....hopefully

It's Friday!

The weekend is finally upon us and a quick update.

Yesterday I went to visit a friend at his bike shop to go check out a trainer anddddddd I left with one haha.
Thank you Chad and everyone at Human Zoom for helping me out and keeping me on my way to a new me! I haven't had a chance to set it up but it will get done I promise.

Tomorrow I go in for some new ink and pending how feel after that (which usually is tired) I will set it all up and will post up pictures.

Going to get my walk on, then Celebrate a good friends birthday. Happy Birthday Matt!
