Well, this weekend I will have reached week 4 of my 12 week program.  The first 3 weeks everything was going great.  Ate well, worked out well and was losing the weight I wanted.  Sunday was my free day for eating, and I happened to have baseball tickets for a suite at our local Triple A baseball team.  I ate and ate- two hotdogs with chili, some meatballs, perogies,one beer.  Maybe this was a bit too much.

I have been struggling all week with my weight and with the rest of my busy schedule I am finding it hard to get my weight down to my 4 week goal of 192 pounds. I am a little dissapointed about that, but I won't give up.  Something really neat happened this week. Today was my upper body workout at 6 am and I had the whole workout planned.  What time I was getting up - the weight amounts - the reps for each set. By the time the forth set came around I was increasing my weight for that exercise by 10-15 pounds.  That was a big jump in weight for me. I increased weight in my bench press, pulldowns, and tricept extensions.  My shoulders and bicepts were as planned.  I added in an exercise in the end for forearms just to hit the arms and bicepts a little harder. 

So with all that said it was a good week.  Will I reach my weight goal by the weekend?  I will try my hardest.  One thing I won't do is skip a meal.  I will eat right, take my supplements, and drink my protein drinks.  I know one thing, I won't be piggish this Sunday.  I will just have one special treat to reward myself for the hard work put in this week and get ready for week 5. 

Good luck to all of you and leave me a note.  It is appreciated.

So maybe I can conclude that I had a great week.  Everything will not always go as planned, but there are areas where I made significant improvement.
