Back from holiday

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Afternoon everyone.

Well, i’m back on the blog. I have had my holiday now and you know what? I was actually quite happy with the results. I was a lot leaner and more defined. However, it all went wrong quite quickly. This was due to the fact we ate out every lunch and evening and ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING was served with chips, not just a portion, but a bucket load and i was never one to leave food. It was always drummed into me to eat all my main course! So the six pack started to disappear quite quickly. Not just blaming the food but the hot weather really make you crave a cold lager as well and we all know the claorie content of those bad boys!

Anyway back now and feel like i want to find my next challenge. I have just been reading about the Mens Health cover model challenge and all the contestants etc. Now, this is something i have always talked about but never had the discipline to do. I think now though that it may be something i would like to try and aim for, the only thing is that at the moment i am training in a small under-equipped gym so am looking into joining a large gym again and then i can see where i could go with it.

Untill then, i am watching what i am eating again and going regularly to the little gym. Off tonight for a shoulder workout.

2 wks until the big beach reveal

Right, i have 2 weeks to go now. Really pushing it , I may even be overdoing it but still back and biceps tonight. I was thinking last night how i would be really annoyed if i put all this work in and i get my holiday pictures back and i’m really not happy with my shape. I know there are more things to life but hey ho!

Also, someone yesterday asked me if i will still keep in shape after my holiday. It did kind of make me think. For the past few years i really have made the gym a high priority but do feel like now that after this holiday i will have to calm it down. I think i will just try and find a workout that involves only 3 days a week weights and just keep my body at the level it is now.

Also, I will try and get some pics up on here as some of have requested so you all can see if the hard work has paid off.

last of all… anyone excited about the olympics? I am … Think i may get grief from my girlfriend though!

real reasons for the shaping up!

Morning,

Someone over the weekend asked me why i was desperate to get in shape for holiday even though i was going away with my girlfriend. I did see their point but i said it wasn’t for her, it was purely for me. I want to be confident when i am around the pool and walking around topless for the majority. I want to be thinkin that people are envious of me. EXTREMELY vain i know but honest none the least!

Also, when i look back at my holiday snaps i don’t want to be hiding my eyes when i see my self because my little belly is out all the time!

Basically it is purely a vain reason for me getting into shape for holiday but then again, who gets in shape for holiday for any other reason?
