I switched my leg work out to chest work out... thats only for today hopefuly :confused:

Today i got my new cellphone from the mail... but they sent me the wrong battery... it wont even fit in it... that suckz... :(

oh welll..

that was just great to start this week :spaz:

I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose today :( Looks like I'm not gonna have that great of a week either.

I went ahead and did my workout anyway, going by the idea that if its above the neck, its ok, but below the neck I need to rest. I figure over the next few days I won't be able to do much of anything either, but I'll still try to hold to my eating plan.

Sorry I haven't been updating, been sick and haven't done much of anything, or ate much of anything. I'm going to try to eat more today, but I'm going to skip my workout cause I am still low on energy and havent gotten over my sickness completely yet.

and heres today.... i love fitday.com great site :claplow:

how are you doin matt??



I've been eating as much as I could despite being sick, but I didn't bother to log it because I didn't feel well enough to write it down and measure everything. I did my friday workout though. I'm almost back to full health right now, and will be back on track come monday for sure.

well, i'm back...

lost a lot of weight during this past week... weighed in at 135 lbs?! wtf...

ate about 4000 calories today... will take pictures and post up last er this week...

139lbs
biceps 132.5cm
chest 92 cm
waist 81.5 cm
thigh 52.5 cm

im runnin out of bandwidth :whistle:

im glad to hear youre back jason :tucool:

damn jgmx, u'r really kickin' some booty! pictures look fantastic.

thanks for the welcome back.

pictures will be up when my gf has time.

ate 3350 calories yesterday.

but since then, my progress has been kind of slow this week, due to increasing injuries. maybe sitting on my butt will help me gain some much needed weight.

3400 calories today

swam 30 minutes, biceps/delts/triceps

couldn't count past 1400 calories because i ate ethiopian food last nite, a cookie and pretzel from the movie theatre, and ice cream on the way home! weighed myself this morning, was about 137, so i'm gainin' again! =) but i'm guessing, i must have consumed somewhere around 4000 calories!

gonna swim 35 minutes today (16*25, 3x), 300 pushups/situps, and probably walk 1 mile. have a stress fracture in the right foot, so it's difficult for me to run, but slowly it's been getting better.

woke up around noon today...

didn't do squat except buy a winter coat. ate some korean food, and am about to go drink beers. today was my day off, so i didn't do anything for exercise. stress fracture is hurting again a little bit, so i'm trying not to walk too much on it, although that's almost impossible.

going to swim tomorrow and workout the quads/calves and abs.

weighed 139 lbs this morning, but that was before the #2, and before i started eating.

hopefully, i'll be back in the 140s this week, and bulk up to 150s by the end of the month!

hope everybody else is doing well.

so far so good... ive gained 1cm on my biceps and tomorrow im gonna take measures again...

its just that ive been super busy... my car broke down and had to pay $450 to get it fixed... since i took a week off almost two from work my paycheck was super small...

i still need to pay the insurance and i need to pay my cellphone bill and cable bill :confused:.... im runnin out of food, being a college guy rules :p *yeah right*...

im out of bandwidth, so im gonna have to wait till the next paycheck to donate money to JSF that way i'll have more bandwidth....


Today i went to the gym around 10am worked out my chest and triceps for 1 hr... then at 7pm went to run 45mins :claplow:

I think tomorrow im gonna buy some lottery tickets :D

ooh well tomorrow will be another day :gl:

so far so good :tucool: time to take pics on monday :claplow:
