Putting my bulk behind me.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on December 26th, 2011
Now that Thanksgiving and Christmas have come and gone, so too must the five pounds of flub I’ve put on over the holidays.

As I’m navigating through the holidays trying to maintain some semblance of a healthy diet, I’ve been researching the best ways to make sure I’m getting the most bang for my food buck.

Well, I had my first checkup in six months and it was such an incredible feeling to sit there beaming and in good health. My blood pressure was up a bit so we went through my list of supplements to see what may have been wrong. It turns out that my arm and shoulder workout [...]

The Los Angeles Times reports on how most people who manage to lose a good deal of weight, especially by employing extremely low fat diets, seem to almost always gain it back and then some.

Turn off the TV and turn up your mood?
Posted by redheadlaw7 on November 14th, 2011
A new study just came out that concludes that women who watch more TV tend to be more depressed than women who watch less TV. Researchers claim that the non TV watchers were more physically active. I’m wondering if this is a chicken or the egg situation though. Regardless, this is just another reason why [...]
Food isn’t fun anymore.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on November 14th, 2011
It’s been two days since my show and yeah I binged big time. The night after I actually ate a bacon cheeseburger with peanut butter on it and then devoured a piece of pumpkin cheesecake.

Posted by redheadlaw7 on November 10th, 2011
Well I’m just a few days out from my last NPC show of the season and I’ve been successfully pulling off a PSMF…I think. Scale weight is plummeting and I think most of my muscle is still there. Yeah, there’s probably been a ton of water loss which I will attribute to less glycogen AND [...]
