251 days
until Saturday January 25 2014
a Saturday 8 months and 6 days from today
Weight: 185
It's hard to believe I've gained almost 20 pounds now in the last two and a half months. I will soon be at the big 190 lb mark. I have never weighed 190 in my life! What else is strange is when I am talking to someone and they discover I am eating so much and TRYING to put on weight. With a world full of folks who would love nothing more than to lose a few pounds, here I stand trying to grow. It is difficult to explain but the fact is, I reduced my body fat percentage and realized that I had burned off a lot of muscle during this phase I went through trying to finish a 100 mile race. So I could not have the lean beefy body I wanted without first hanging some muscle back on my bones. Thus began the quest of building muscle and overeating.
Yesterday was terrible. I have a project going on at home and I worked all day and barely ate anything. It's the first time in awhile that I've actually let myself feel hunger and man, the food tastes so much better when you're starving yourself. I kinda tweaked my back working yesterday so maybe all will be well and I can get in a good workout today or tomorrow.
I promised a video of my muscle up progress and here it is. My lovely wife filmed it for me a couple days ago. I have a long way to go before it's perfect but I'm happy to get above the bar now. As mentioned before in the blog, you can see that the lawnmower tire and giant dog are present and ready for action. Maybe you can understand my son, he's good at cheering me on.
My Muscle Up
Don't allow yourself to miss a workout and focus on the negative. Forward movement, one step at a time. Whether you took a day off or two weeks, get back at it and move forward. We both know that it will be worth it in the end. Thanks for stopping in!
