Journey, Not A Destination

It's really just a matter of will and how bad you want it. If it's not worth it, don't do it. Or start subtely.

Cut back on your high days and get more low days in there. By low I mean 1400 or less.

I hate to be so blunt.... but that's pretty much that.

What's your exact exercise routine?

Wah wah wah!!! Marcia marcia marcia (BB's favorite whiny quote)!!

Sounds like I have some more starving in my future, damn it! LOL

My workouts are not too consistent, so that can be much improved too (though this is all counted in my calorie deficits that seem to do nothing). I guess its my own bloody fault :rolleyes:.

Yea, really, I think it's just a matter of cleaning up your act. Not that you haven't been working hard. It's just time to work harder.

That's what I meant about figuring out if it's worth it or not.

I think it is.

There are times when I'm starving. I do a diet sometimes in my 'cuts' called a protein sparing modified fast. Just meat and veggies. And VERY low cals.

It's enough to drive ya insane.

But it's certainly not permanent. And the end product is worth it IMO. In others, it probably wouldn't be. But it's all about perception and personality.

All decisions are accompanied by a sacrifice.

If you want some help with your workouts, I'll gladly offer some advice.
 
Hey Steve. How's it going?

I had to get my daily "hot body" fix so I checked out your photo album again. NICE.

Question: Have you ever competed in any bodybuilding competitions? Do you plan to?

About 7 years ago I was being trained for the state figure (not bodybuilding) competition. For two years prior to that my trainer would take me to all the competitions to see what I needed to strive for. A month before the competition I threw out my back and the doc discovered I have a "birth defect" of a fused spine. Spent 6 months in physical therapy before I could do much of anything again. Had to sleep in a recliner the entire time and couldn't bend over at all. I was in absolute hell.

Anyways, I have read your posts and it seems as if you are preparing for this. I've seen a lot of guys do the same before competing.

Thanks very much. :)

No and no.

I guess you can say I live the lifestyle, but I have my own reasons. Competing is not one of them. I've simply never had the interest to do a show. Locally I'm sure I could do alright. Beyond that, there's no hope without drug intervention, which I'd never turn to.

If I'd compete in anything it would be powerlifting. But my lift numbers suck anymore. Life has gotten in the way of doing what I'd need to do to get that strong again.

I have quite a few femail friends that do figure, very cool.

And wow, that's awful about your back. You got that close and couldn't do it. How does this affect you now?

Hmmm... do I sense a challenge? ;) Also... if I do it, will you later scream and bitch about how you're so serious and you take weight loss serious, so stop being a "thread jackin' biatch?" jk tee hee. I'm so evil.

I can't bend and pick up anything more than 15lbs now. What sucks is that I fucked up my knees in highschool playing basketball so it hurts to lift with them. I workout just as hard now, I am just restricted with what I can do. I can only do squats with a stability ball on the wall which sucks because my nickname used to be "Legs". They used to be some powerful bitches. Deadlifts have to be done carefully and with light weights. I have to watch my posture very closely when I work out and run. I used to ride horses and now can't due to the pressure on the lower back. I also have to be careful with atv riding, so now I am having to sell my Honda. I have made a great recovery and only suffer soreness and occasional aches.

My bottom vertebrae is fused to my pelvic bone which had made it tilted. Needless to say, giving birth was a real bitch. It's hard to explain but the vertebra above the fused popped out and tore the muscles in my lower back.

For some reason, I cannot seem to remember everything I used to know about training and nutrition and am now trying to re-learn. This is why I stalk your diary. :) Well, that and to check out your pics. ;)

I gave up on being all professional-like around here.

It's an impossibility.

That is some crazy shit.

I give you tons of respect though for sticking with it and training hard still. That's great.

Random Thought of the Day

1. I hate when people can't stay on topic in a conversation. They turn a very concrete topic into something personal. That to me is fucking lame.

2. I hate when people speak openly on a public forum and don't expect certain people to comment. That to me is fucking insanity and you should keep your computer off.

3. I hate when people speak about something they obviously know nothing about, yet, when someone who does know what they're talking about comes along, Person 1 will attempt to discredit Person 2 by way of personal insult. That to me is fucking pathetic.

All in all, the monkey infestation continues it's widespread attack across the various web forums. What will ever become of this attack on rational thought?

Stay tuned.....
 
Better yet....

Person A is so stupid that when Person B comes along, Person A uses Person B's knowledge as a means of attack. "B/c you know what you are talking about on this particular subject, you are a know it all." Mind you, Person A has never had a meaningful conversation with Person B and knows absolutely nothing about Person B.

I'll have to remember that next time I go to the doctor.

Doc: Steve, you have cancer.

Me: How do you know?

Doc: Here's the results from Test A, B, and C.

Me: You are a fucking know-it-all quack who speaks out his ass. I hate the fact that you know more about this than me and b/c of that I'm going to cry like a big baby.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

You've got to love the absence of logical reasoning behind *people* today. Their thought processes are like mine fields and what seems like a simple thought process to most can turn into an explosion of 'stupid' for *them*.
