Well of course when I wrote this I was all psyched up. Today was a really heavy day in the field with the heat. So around 2pm my mom called me and asked me if I could come over because she needed to talk to me about some developments with her health and needed help with her TV, (another discussion). So came 5pm and I was exhausted, went to moms apartment and didn't leave until around 6:45. By then I was really tired and didn't have the umphh to go to the gym so I came home, of course bought a 40 on the way and a pack of smokes. So so much for the first day....again.

However I did some research this am and decided to not just jump into this again. I learned that I really need to take L-Glutamine and Omega to help me along, so this weekend I'll purchase some. And I really need to reconsider what time of day I'm going to work out, and so far as long as the weather is hot and muggy, working out after a day in the sun may not be the best idea. I've always been a morning person, I'm up by 4:30 or 5 without an alarm clock, so I need to do my workouts in the am, not the pm. I've so far done the majority of workouts in the pm.

This time I really need to plan...not just go wild, without internal direction.

Matt :-)

I think it really helps to tell people your plans - cos it is good to have backing when you start a new regime

I know sometimes when we start asking how it is going, you may wish that you had never told us !!! but..............just be assured that we will be pestering you for up-dates on your progress - so BE WARNED

good luck

hugs xx

edited cos I put Mig instead of Matt

That's why I'm writing this, sort of like a journal that will talk back to me. And I won't take it personaly if I get the occasional, 'your a quitter speech'.

I'm off to the gym.........................................

The guy who was suppose to meet me didn't show up, (he said he didn't think I'd show up). Somethings I changed, 1st instead of trying to jog on the treadmill, I just walked, but walked hard and fast, taking big strides, I enjoyed this more than killing my calves with jogging. I also happened to run into the wife of one of my church buddies and guy I went to high school with and we had a little discussion on not missing church that much. I also took it easy, knowing it was going to be a long grueling day in the humid heat, so I just did some core exercieses, making sure my smaller muscles are in tune first. And I kept my workout to under an hour, instead of trying to fit a full workout in two hours as I have done in the past.

It kinda left me drained for the rest of the day though, so I'm really gonna have to streamline my diet....caloric, carb and protein intake. Which has always been a bit difficult since two things....first I no longer have a duodenum to process the chemicals needed to breakdown food, and my stomach is 1/2 smaller than it should be, second I have the metabolism of a cast iron stove, always need more to keep the fire burning. Now I have a great job, but it doesn't pay the greatest, so I gotta find a way to be able to be able to afford taking several meals with me during the day that I can eat quick on the go, but not spend hours preparing them....and protien bars and make ready protien drinks are too expensive and some of them just tear me up inside; don't want to go into a customers home sounding like I am sitting on a whoppie cushion all the time.

Any suggestions would definatly be welcome.

Matt, exactly, how much do you need? I've got about 100 extra. I'll ship you some.

Boy if it was that easy:)

I'm not Dr. Know it all, but it seems a bit weird that in starving countries and what not, some of the fat taken off of the fat people over here could be transplanted into starving people. Boy the JW's would have a field day with this.

But an interesting question for those here with medical knowlegde; we can transplant organs, hearts, blood, hair, eye's, but not body fat, why is that?
