Note from the desk of me :)
I was sitting here thinking tonight about everyone I have seen on Facebook declaring a New Year's Resolution. I have honestly never cared to make one due to the fact I have always been selfish and could care less. But I wanted to do one this year and have put a lot of thought behind this. I want to make it my "Resolution" to spread the awareness of Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity affecting over 24 MILLION Americans right now. I myself fought obesity and Type 2 Diabetes and am fortunate to have beat it. I was well over 330 lbs and my sugar levels were floating around 660-700 when diagnosed. It seems every year obesity affects not only millions of adults but children as well. As adults and parents we are responsible for our children. In 2010 the number 1 killer in adults in the U.S was obesity. So I am taking responsibility and joining with American Diabetes Association and will be promoting a responsible healthy lifestyle. A cheeseburger tastes great! But be aware to much of anything is a bad thing.

Road to the Nationals 2011
Going to start this new blog post to keep up with my prep to the 2011 Masters Nationals in July. It's Jan. 3rd 2011 and it's time to get started. This will be a 7 month prep which seems a bit extreme but experience has shown me that at my age the metabolism doesn't crank up as fast as necessary to get down to that extreme shredded look that has become the look that the judges are looking for.
So I started last week, Dec. 27th, 2011 back on diet. Ate only grilled chicken breasts, grilled tilapia, omega 3 eggs, egg whites, whey protein, brown rice and lots of broccoli. Don't have a scale right now, but looking in the mirror, my body has responded fast in just one week. The big Santa gut is gone and the 4 pack is being joined by the lower abs so all is good with the nutrition.
The training has stalled for a week for several reasons, which is not a bad thing. Good to take some time off to let the old injuries calm down a bit. I did an hour of lunges, split squats and calve raises to get the wheels pumped back up and it worked great.
Today I will search out a temporary gym to see if I can get a decent leg training session in.
More later.
Be Strong!
