The Axe Murderer

OK. I’m back. I took a week off because I felt like I was repeating myself. I was getting tired of wondering why I wasn’t dropping weight but admiring that I was firming up.

I did have a great last week. I went to the gym every day. Normally I take a day off during the weekend but since I only made the actual gym four times the week before I thought it would be good to push myself a little bit. I am nearing my first weight goal which is 20 lbs. I hold my weight goal from when I started moving around after surgery which is a few months before I started this blog and working with the trainer.

I changed up my diet too. I was having a hard time with the eating five times a day thing. It’s really hard to tell someone who is trying to lose weight that they need to eat more and not less. I was giving myself anxiety about keeping on an eating schedule and trying to be regimented and making sure I am eating 100% correctly. It didn’t work and it took up too much of my time. Here is what I am doing now until I fix up my frame: I eat when I am hungry. I make sure I eat sometime before I work out. I do not eat after 8 pm. I seem to be rocking one big meal and a lot of smaller ones. It allows me some flexibility. I dropped three lbs last week and I actually see new visible muscles in my back and stomach. I’m not saying I could take a punch from Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva but I am saying I am getting there.

Great hockey game last night from the USA and Canada! Nice job by NBC ignoring the event and putting it on MSNBC. Last night was the longest that channel has ever been on in my presence. I think the NHL should take a page from the Olympics and try to cut down on the commercials to keep the pace up. The game last night was 2:30 of great action.

I made it to Madison Square Garden on Saturday with some friends to see the Knicks with Tracy McGrady play the Oklahoma City Thunder and Kevin Durant. The Garden was such a buzz and I got to see the next great player in the NBA play and hit big time shots in Kevin Durant.

Happy Monday.
