It's been a few days since I last posted. I am still healing from my original back injury and the other day all of a sudden I had another (minor) pull in my back that kept my from my routine.

It's easy to fall into old habits or get depressed when things like that happen. I started to feel the pull of negativity and its call.

I'm not going to let that happen though. Obviously I've been doing something wrong and what I need to do is drop the ego, back off and build from scratch paying attention to the building blocks that I'll need down the road for solid improvements.

My shoulders are a bit sore from holding my kettlebell overhead and the hindu pushups yesterday but it's not super sore.

I should have a good idea at the end of this week or beginning of next week how the direction my diet and current workload is taking me.

I'm having a blast and looking forward to seeing progress. I just need to make sure to keep getting lots of sleep.

I'm feeling good. My back is almost healed and I'll be able to schedule time with the strength trainer I've picked out locally, Jordan Vezina at Average to Elite.

I've had to be very patient as it's taken about 3 weeks longer than I thought it was going to take to get to the point I can resume hard workouts. I'm feeling strong right now and it's only going to get better from here on out.

Well I created separate blogs (viewable through my profile on the right) for my diet and training stuff so this blog is going to be...well I'm not sure but I'll try to keep it (semi) interesting.

First Blog

Hello to everyone (anyone) that happens to find their way here. I'm not at all clear what I'll be doing with this blog aside from a training and diet log but stay tuned for some of the most exciting information that you'll ever come across!
