I am holding off intentionally on posting an update because I want to build a little anticipation for my current progress.  My diet at this point is top secret, but I can tell you that I have increased cardio to 30mins a day for 4-5 days a week.  

I will win this competition again this year for my club there is no question about that, but can I win for all the Atlanta area clubs, we will have to wait and see.

I am dropping my carbs from moderate to low this week to kickstart the shedding process.  I had 75 carbs all day, and I did a 1.5hr back workout tonight with some abs and calves thrown in for good measure.  Strength is still going up.  Waist is getting smaller.  I am craving pasta right now, but i will resist the urge!  About to grill my salmon for my last meal of the day.

Yesterday i did biceps and cardio in the afternoon and legs at night.  Today i did triceps and abs in afternoon and i just finished up with shoulders tonight.  I love two a day workouts.  But I am in recovery mode until probably Monday.  Clean diet just at or below maintenance.  Grilling salmon right now to go with my chick peas.

Back workout at the Plex last night with Big Jim.  I threw in 20mins of low impact cardio.  One more week of calorie surplus before I start to cut.  Workouts are incredible right now.  Getting close to time for a photo update on my progress.

I finished off the week with 90min shoulder and arms routine.  I am rockin my new J4 earbuds and they are helping me get through these brutal workouts.  One more week before I drop my calories down and add some cardio to start slicin and dicin.  Some interesting facts so far in this years FitTrip: I am drinking 3 gallons skim milk a week, 3lbs turkey and 5lbs chicken breast a week, and 2lbs steak and 2lbs of salmon.  Here’s a tip for when you go grocery shopping, stick to the walls, that is where the healthy foods are, if you start going down the aisles you get in to the processed garbage.

Did a really nice chest workout at a new gym last night, it was a YMCA gym so it wasn’t packed with the equipment i liked.  But they did have a nice hammer strength incline chest press.  I hit it for about an hour then relaxed in the hot tub and sauna.  Tonight i hit legs at BodyPlex, today was a high carb day so I am feeling good right about now.

Started off the week right with my Back routine at BodyPlex.  I even got to train with my old training partner Jim.  Earlier today I did abs, calves and 20mins cardio.  This is the first cardio I have done all year.  I will slowly transition more in as needed to reach the level of detail i want to attain.  

Overall  I am very pleased with my progress moving into week 3 of FitTrip.  I have dropped about 20lbs in the first two weeks, which was to be expected because I was carb loading to come in at a higher weight.  My waist is shrinking like crazy and i am seeing more definition and vascularity.  I feel like I have a new level of focus that has developed over the past week.  Everything is very positive in my life currently and I am very blessed to have all the people around me that support my passion.
