6 days in a row



so i just realized that i always want to start my blog entries with the word "so". Thats strange. so when i first started working out at recreate fitness, i couldn't get enough. one time i came 7 times in one week. i went 2 times in one day because i was so addicted. Nathan said that might not be such a good idea. i've noticed that i come back way stronger and recover better if i take rest days when my body tells me to. I'm concerned about cortisol levels going up if i don't rest. i'll be the only one in town to admit that i'd rather look fit than be fit. i know i could probably get thrown out of the gym for saying something so vain and shallow. I was asked to write down some goals for 2009. Truth is my main goal is to get leaner in 2009. I'm having a very very hard time controlling my diet. If i have my shakes around, I can do great. Once i run out or find myself without one, i turn to my best friend; the burrito. So, i'm going to try coming to the gym 6 times a week to compensate for the amount of food I eat. That way, i'll get leaner and more conditioning too. Old Coach Steve Maxwell said his fans in prison get ultra lean on diets of pure crap by doing lots of burpees. I figure if guys in prison can build great bodies eating crappy prison food and doing burpees, i could maybe build a half way descent build by eating shakes, pizza, cupcakes, and burritos with 6 days of recfit workouts. We'll see. i also need to get better about my logging. Work has been really busy and the holidays kept me away from my computer. i know that for my logs to mean anything, i need to be consistent. i feel like on days i eat the worst, i don't end up blogging. that should stop in 2009. Today i got 18 dead hang pullups. My goal was 20 by the end of 08 but i'm pleased with 18. I could do only 10 when i started. i was partnered with Aaron today and really enjoyed the workout. He is a great partner.

Sean,

I am very sorry to hear you have the shakes. For most people this can be devastating, but you seem to be doing well, enjoying them even. Good for you. As for your logging, maybe it's a good thing that your not consistent, or that your logs don't mean anything. Logging is very detrimental to the environment, so don't worry about it!

Your friend,
Trevor

Appearance is a consequence of fitness.
