Strength, Suppliments & Survival

Well tomorrow will be the 2nd weigh in since the KYSN competition started.

It's all good, I know I have lost more, but I haven't been to dependent on the scale this week, I like the element of surprise, LOL.

I have been doing cardio every day at 5AM, I really need to get in the gym at least 3x a week to do my strength/weights.

It has been a little hard for me this week, I am having trouble sleeping at night, there was allot of drama the beginning of the week, I have made some decisions regarding making changes in my personal life, then with the landlord raising the rent $300.00 a month and the overtime at work completely cut off to a tune of $1,600.00 less a month in my income....Now I need to make some decisions regarding home and work.

I have covered my diet and my exercise plan in previous posts, tonight I thought I would cover the supplements I am taking.

L-Glutamine(Awesome for sore muscles): one of the most abundant amino acids found in the skeletal system.

CLA: A naturally occurring fatty acid that is present in cheese and ground beef(types of food often excluded when restricting dietary intake.

Woman's Ultra Mega Vitamin

Pro Performance 100% whey protein powder: Chocolate, chocolate Carmel & banana are awesome.

Jet fuel(Fat Burner): this works awesome, you take 2-3 before your workout. It makes you sweat.

Preventative Nutrition(cleansing) I did the cleansing the first week.

All my supplements I purchase at GNC, my trainer and friend works there, he put me on my diet, my workout & my supplements. His name is John, he competes professionally (body building) he took 4th at Musclmania in Vegas.

If you ever have any questions regarding anything they sell at GNC, he can tell you everything you need to know and more.

This is the end of week 4, only 8 more weeks left, WOW it is going by really fast(I try to convince myself of this every morning when working out, LOL)

This is one of the most awesome experiences I have ever been through, if only I would have cared this much about taking care of myself and getting healthy.

But better late than never and I am surviving, working out has become addicting.(I just had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming when I said that just now)

I is so awesome to have such a great work out partner, Joey and all the team members are awesome.

But most of all the support the staff, Rose and the owner Blair are awesome, so positive and friendly.
They are always smiling and ready and eager to answer any questions we might have. That's the half of it right there, they make you feel so comfortable.

Have a great evening and I will be back tomorrow with the weigh in results, I need to sign off now, so I can deliver the 12 pack of high calorie beer, I promised to Steve on the other team(just kidding).

Sweet dreams and Thank You so much for following me on this journey of a lifetime.
