And now for something completely different..

I've been lifting three times a week for almost six months. In that time I've missed a workout twice. I've decided that I'm going to take a break from dieting and working out for the next week. My body needs a break and my metabolism needs a reboot. My left hip area has been bothering me a little bit after doing lunges. All signs point to me needing to give it a break for a while. Psychologically this has been the hardest thing to do in my entire transformation process. Not going to the gym sucks! Or rather, not getting to enjoy the way I feel after a workout and the way my body looks when I'm lifting regularly sucks! After my break I'll return to carb cycling and I'll finish Fat Loss I and move right into Fat Loss II. I feel that I still need to drop about five pounds of fat before I'm ready to do a slow, clean bulk. That's it for now.. I'm still planning on moving the rest of my posts over to this journal but I've been procrastinating.

I'm still in the progress of transferring posts from my John Stone Fitness journal to this blog.. should be done in a day or two.
